Hey. Waterbearer? Can you come see me?

...I think it's helping. He seems stronger.

That's a relief. He was badly hurt when he showed up for the game.

What happened to him....was really bad. Hopefully we can mitigate it.

You don't need to hold back, Jace. I've been in the Pillar. Words don't cover it.

I figured that maybe hearing his old name might help give him some grounding.

[akin2squidrats]

Why?

[blue_mind_group.insanejournal.com]

Partly because they're defined by perceptions and roles, so reminding him of an old role could strengthen those aspects of him. Partly because the fallout for us from what Surgeon did was a loss of identity, so anything that strengthens his self-image should help.

[akin2squidrats]

I see.

Looks like it's working.

[akin2squidrats]

It does. With luck, it'll prevent a repeat of that game.

I hope so.
