That couldn't have been easy for either of you, even with the experience. I've been held captive, but this was worse than an old dungeon.
How are you healing, Jamie?
The door was a few feet away but the thought of opening it was terrifying. Our captives made us think the people who came to save us were the ones we needed to fight. They got inside of our heads and twisted everything up until we weren't in control anymore.
I guess it helps to have a doctor in the family. Unfortunately, in some ways, I think we're all at a disadvantage. Most of the things they're using aren't familiar to anyone.
That's what makes me feel weak. And I haven't been able to figure out how to move on from it yet.

I was shot during the rescue and whatever toxin they released got into me, but Iโm certain it could have been worse if not for our timely rescue.
Iโm aware of those feelings. The way someone can twist the things you believe and know.
[ Apparently Randall was good at that. ]

Did anyone figure out what that toxin was?
Yeah, that's what I wasn't prepared for. I used to think I could fight my way out of anything, but there was no fighting this.

I know the feeling. Iโve alwas been capable of handling myself or enduring pain, but mental torment is a montrous ability.

I wish I had the answer, lass, but it lingers. Itโs best to keep your mind occupied Iโve found, but I know itโs no fix.
