[ Now, physically, he’s fine. Following his hunger like it was instinct in the fog had made him feel great, in fact. Stronger than ever, so even when he had been rather seriously injured in the process, “healing” was easy. Set’s Terra powers helped, but it was also just a pain that was quick to fade away into nothing.
All of that resilience just came at a different cost. He has to put all of his attention into things like his gallery, his new little “orphanage” of Spectrals, anything to just avoid thinking about what he’d done. Or, more importantly, how much he’d enjoyed it.
So. Her question is very nearly one he leaves on read as he works on finishing touches of one of the exhibits. He’s not even sure how to answer it, doesn’t want to, et cetera, but.

Hmm… Alright, I suppose?
It was nothing like what happened in November, but I suppose circumstances here are just determined to put us through the wringer sometimes! I can at least half blame Patho-Gen when it comes to Kelesis, but back here in Karteria, who knows? Not that I would be surprised if it ended up being their fault…
But it’s kind of you to check in, I’ll note. I hope you’re similarly okay.
