Medium

Afflicted by that odd loneliness that comes from seeing and knowing a lot that you can't do much about.

Challenging

Everyone else here is actively avoiding him.

Medium

Better to go along with this. You'll have a stronger chance of pulling him clear of this psychological wreckage.

Medium

He's hurt by that direct accusation, even though it's his own working theory.

Challenging

You would be well within your right to leave him down here.

Easy

Surely you'll be able to tell which is Eszti's drawer from the contents? Cigarette butts, poker chips, crochet patterns...

Easy

Eszti, married? This can only be a desperate attempt to blend in. Not like a real husband.

Easy

You know this isn't better, that's why you didn't choose it for yourself.

Easy

Still nothing. This is who you chose to save.

Easy

He's trying his best to trust you.

Easy

Callous... but KALEIDOSCOPE did murder him.

Easy

Hershel... Now he's going to lose his mind trying to activate nonexistent beetle powers.

Challenging

They frequently lost fingers to frostbite in the Mircean winter, and wore their absence like trophies.

Medium

You can practically feel the fetid water sloshing about his feet.

Challenging

A little impressed, a little disturbed.

Medium

He phrases it like he's asking if you'll be over for tea next week. It doesn't hide his desperation.

Challenging

Underneath his speechifying you detect a melancholic tinge, a shadow on the mirror's surface.

Easy

Even through the distorted connection, you can feel him weighing his next words.

Easy

She's not yet entirely convinced that you are 'normal people'.

Medium

He wouldn't have willingly given up a career that meant so much to him.

Formidable

He misses this version of her the most.

Easy

Rendered a non-person for her betrayal.

Challenging

Encoded by a frenzied hand.

Medium

With fear, or maybe rage that the past should repeat itself so shamelessly.

Challenging

Pride. He wants you to know he saw you enter the shack, and he wants you to know what you saw was his work.

Legendary

No attempt to deflect or deny. He takes it all into himself like a landslide.

Challenging

The first genuine response you have elicited from him at all.

Trivial

It's an extinction level event for your crew if Karolina finds out he's here. You cannot let her see him.

Easy

Your asset loses control over herself in ways no one can predict.

Formidable

Your adversary's grudging acknowledgement is the greatest compliment you can receive.

Medium

Profound indifference exudes from him.

Medium

A genuine question.

Formidable

Fair play, he thinks. If this is to be his final performance, at least it's a big stage.

Medium

If this were a trap then he wouldn't have been so cagey about his client.

Medium

Eszti's territorial. Walking into her apartment was a trespass. She'd have no reason to be here.

Challenging

After all these years perhaps they've developed some notion of society, even religion. Open your mind to their theologies and they may accept you as their own.

Medium

Disbelief that anybody would do anything so vulgar as know this man.

Easy

She's seething. This could go very poorly.

Medium

More curious than horrified, interestingly enough.

Medium

She's going to eviscerate you later.

Easy

See -- he has a soul.

Medium

Firm but gentle. She doesn't envy you the choice.

Medium

She pauses for a moment of internal gloating.

Medium

Piqued, can't help herself.

Medium

No mystery as to who he wants getting down on their hands and knees.

Medium

How does it feel to come face-to-face with yourself?

Easy

Godly

Help your double accept himself for who he is.

Easy

Best to play along.

Easy

He's taken offense.
