[Journal Post] (Excluded from Kamala and Shiva)

[theheadmonarch]

Kamala's home and safe, physically.

She and Shiva were placed in lets call them "The Melffy Rooms" to decompress for a few days. Shiva seems to have fared the whole mess a lot better than Kamala for other reasons.

Souha cleared them both on grounds of physical health but Kamala is *exhausted*, and is needing to have her body cleared of all the caffeine and may miss the first few weeks of school due to essentially physical trauma of running on empty and drugs.

Psychologically, Shiva's fine but seems a bit remorseful for their actions involving Shian.

Shian appears to be physically well.

So.

The things I've been dodging:

I've had to heavily emotionally numb Kamala to the entire event, basically making her have the same emotional attachment to it was the most mind numbing summer vacation possible.

I'm extremely concerned about allowing Ancient Fairy Dragon near her, even though of what I gather this was sort of a negative feedback loop, and Ancient Fairy Dragon was a victim of whatever seems to have hit the Briar family. Kaz where are you, you asshole

Still. Bad taste in my mouth.

And the big thing: Kamala's plural, or has dissociative tendencies. She has four fully formed personalities and three vague seed personalities. And trying to bring this up to the front personality, Kamala, causes her to panic and deny it.

Her family has a long history of plurality, so, stress, trauma and her own apotheosis really, in retrospect... should of made this unsurprising.
