章 145: 3.23

For three weeks we labored here in this hot, torturous hell. Over twenty of the sickly orcs had died under our care. The initial enthusiasm of Theo and the small number of shamans left alive was dwindling.

The only bit of information we discovered, was there was no natural immunity unless you had a System. Making Theo and myself, the healthiest and only virus-free living beings in the building.

I'd been stuck on herb duty, going over the local flora and sorting it accordingly for Theo to experiment with. Though we were still limited by the lack of tools and equipment.

Many nights I caught Theo sobbing and complaining out loud to his system when I returned to our shared room.

Not once had I been allowed outside of the walled temple grounds, yet each day at least three new patients arrived. No longer just the elderly, women, and children, even the strong adult males were succumbing to the mysterious illness.

Are you noticing the changes in Luna's thought patterns? Her shifted mentality.

I like to think she has grown mentally stronger despite her obvious depression.

The guilt that fuels her may still be there, but she is less harsh on herself, and less driven on it to act against her morals.

She's analyzing her sense of self and slowly facing her insecurities and 'shadows'.

The more she does this, the more she can acknowledge where she is going wrong so she can strive to be a better person. The kind of person she wants to be.

We all go through periods like this in our life. Apphifenies, awakening, and so on.

For those who read/know about Tarot. I'd say right now she is the eight of swords. Finding her way out of her own self-imprisonment.

What are your thoughts?
