<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I—Uh—Do you think he’s really after you?

@Artifact

*Turns to my curtains and looks into the hazy view of outside*
I don't know. It wouldn't be unlike him to toy with me until I lose it. And it wouldn't be unlike me to inflict that on myself for him.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

That was just really, like, not an okay thing for me to say. I’m so sorry.

@Artifact

It’s fine. Please. Stop.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Holds out my hands*
No, I mean like, I'm, like, really sorry.

@Artifact

*Puts my hand on your shoulder*
Isis. It's fine.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

That’s... um... I’m sorry.

@Artifact

It’s fine. Really.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Wh— Oh... I think I know who you mean now...

@Artifact

*Rubs my arm and averts my gaze*
...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I'm, uh, not following.

@Artifact

I feel like I see him everywhere I look. The shadows, the corner of my eye, the clients who walk through the door.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

...
*Follows your gaze*

@Artifact

There's nothing there. But it's one of those days where it feels like there is.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

What do you mean "off"?

@Artifact

...
*Cuts my eyes to the window*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

You've... had worse days than that. What's really going on?

@Artifact

Yeah... today has just felt off. Badly so. All the normal annoying bits of my job feel way bigger.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Is... that all?

@Artifact

If only. There was also this smelly old fat guy who kept getting way too close when looking at our schedule. Isis, I could smell his breath. I thought I was going to pass out.
