Randomly questioning whether you might legitimately be traumagenic because you most certainly have childhood trauma, but not knowing whether that trauma is why you're a system or not O.O

Presenting, my life for the past 6 years
struggling with your identity?
try dissociation!!
dissociating from my identity worked great for the last 20 years.
i mean i am 6 people now but im sure thats completely unrelated.
Me: *hears that bottling up your emotions is bad* oh no! I will make sure I don't do that!

Me: see, I'm not bottling up my emotions :) I just don't feel them very strongly and feel very detached from them :)

my castmate, getting emotional on closing night: do you ever think about how we might be in this play again... but this is still the last time we'll ever be in this production, with these people at this time? and even within that, each show is the last time we'll ever do that specific performance. even within a given unique production, there are a thousand little things that are different night to night. different performance choices, different audience, different thoughts in our heads and ways we play off each other. it's like. theatre is by its nature ephemeral and there's no way to ever go back and experience that specific version of a play ever again.

[character A] makes a deal with a supernatural entity, giving up their ownership over their body.
only after the deal has been made does the supernatural entity realise that [character A] is a member of a system, and as such isnt actually the sole owner of the body. leaving the supernatural entity now trapped in a body they dont fully own.
