The next few days passed in relative peace, with both Odists slowly leveling back out to their baseline moods.
Or, at least, May leveled out to her baseline mood. There still seemed to be some internal struggle within True Name. It wasn't that she was having to step away to sulk or caught in anger as she had been when she had begun to overflow, but that the conflicts were still showing in long silences that would sometimes take her in the middle of conversations, especially when the topic of meeting with Jonas came up.

"I am not even sure if it is conflicts at this point," she admitted when ey brought it up. "Or, well, I do not think it is conflicting memories any longer. Those have been integrated, by this point.

I understand why you did what you did, and I think I agree with it, but on a personal level, I would much rather be integrating your memories than his."

"End Waking mentioned that he defined himself by not being you, yeah."
"End Waking has mentioned that he defined himself by not being you, yeah."
She nodded. "So I have learned. The self-loathing that falls out of that rests just this side of overwhelming at times. Perhaps that is why it is proving to be such a project to settle into something resembling a singular nature again.
