NOTHING: Hey little bro...are you sure it's me you're looking for? I mean, you're torn between two women, you got the biggest match of your career coming up soon, and above all that, you got a real life. Jon...why have me here? All I've done is cause you pain. Storm: Because I know that things haven't always been that way, Pru. Despite our own imperfections, we've been pretty close-knit. We're family, and that's another reason. Need I go on? You're just really so lucky, bro. You've got so much clarity going on, you couldn't even believe it. It makes me jealous of you. NOTHING: You've got it all wrong, Jon. You got everything all so wrong. Nothing, and there's no pun intended, is clear to me ever, it seems. All that happens time and time again, is that I get even more lost. I have a person I want to be...that I hope to be, and then there's who I am. Jon, I know we fight, and I know we've given each other so much pain, but all it does is confuse us more. Everything we ever do hurts us both even more. We just stay too long in the same place, same skin, we become too comfortable with who we are. If you want my advice on King of Violence? Don't think about it until you've made it out of here...or at least until later on. You're not a step closer towards clarity than you were back when you were talking with your Inner Circle buddies. Jonathan...face it...you're as lost as me. Storm: Do you think I'm in trouble? I mean, look at the position I'm in. Right now, even after shattering my world with Suzy, I can't help but feel I'm to blame. I can't look Ashlee in the eye, and I can't even think straight...even though I should. NOTHING: That's because you're head is clear now. It's been clear for some time now. You've been thinking with your heart, Jon, and your heart's so cluttered up, you'd be suprised how simple everything is when you stop thinking with it, and you use that cranium I know you're blessed with. This heart is filled with everything you've ever thrown into the corner of your head. The little things Ashlee does to show her love...the songs you never wrote for Suzy. The lost pictures and memories of our teen years are around here somewhere. It just so happens that your darker half has been messing around. It seems to have taken a form not even I suspected, but hey, I can't argue with your soul. If this is the person that embodies your rage, then so be it. They have an army too...some people you'd expect, and others you wouldn't. They're centralized in the Soul, but I don't want you anywhere near there. Storm: Why? Don't you trust your little brother? NOTHING: It's not a matter of trust, Jon...and it's not because I think you're weak either...but it's because you don't have any idea who's controlling what around here. You liberated your mind with the realizations you've had. Do that here, and you can have your heart back...not to mention you'll get out of this tunnel. Think of this as a video game, Jon. Find the answer, unlock the door, and... Lance Sterling: ...solve each mystery by defeating the ruler of this area. The darker half of you has put the essence of each part elsewhere. For instance, think about it this way...your mind was obsessed with leading. That was the ruler...you found out your obsession with having every answer was ruining it. You let go...now let go here. Sterling: And the moral of the story is? Storm: Well...here's what I get so far. With Suzy...I learned that I gave my heart away over a night, and I learned that I created a world around me to suit me better, all because I had small problems with the one that I'm in. I also learned that I turned my back, and I have a world of repenting to do...after that, it's on my way to find what's lying in my soul. Sterling: Not yet, Kemosabe. Go through the next door, face your undying obession in the heart, and move on. You want a hint with what you should look forward to? You may think you're demonstrating tough love on them, but in all reality, you're not. He's showing it on you, and one of you is going to break. Apply your knowledge, and face your demons. If he doesn't break you, I'll see you at the end of your heart to heart with him *chuckles*. |
