You don’t want to go back to what you are. Mysticalis can’t ever go back to what it was. You have each other. Your life is not about looking back anymore, it’s about looking forward. Whatever your past was, it doesn’t matter. You are going to live life now, your lost and confused memories be damned. Mysticalis now follows the Path of the Questioner, as it calls the new way it has chosen.

Your own path begins to open up to you as well. One thing you can understand from all of your strange visions and memories is that you could very well be a dream walker. You don’t just see your own memories in your dreams or medications. You can see the important moments in many lives. Your time before now has been so confused. It could be that you haven’t had a normal life for some time. One thing is for sure, a powerful dream that you have experienced has thrown your whole perspective into question.

You need to understand the strange simulacrums that first pulled you into coming to Manhattan. Without understanding those, you will never be able to live securely and safely in your old existence or whatever this strange new one that you are pursuing with your friend, Mysticalis.

Kepler Hawking, the man that can reach into another’s mind could help you to find the answers of who may have sent the simulacra after you. Maybe you could even find out why.

Greta is still out there and she needs help. She wasn’t herself that last time you saw her and you thought you’d killed her. Now that you know she still lives, you can get a chance at helping her find a path through the curse of being a Wendigo, or whatever it is that you and others might call such a thing in this modern age.

Roger Carson provided that he cares and he’s a friend. Would it be so bad to live out in the rural woods of Northern California? Surely the elders there could teach you a bit about walking through dreams. If it was not for them, you would not have identified, upon reflection, that you indeed had some power to see into dreams and to see memories through dreams. You could even find a new mundane life there, away from this gift and away from the dangerous violence that is this life.

You could try to find these poor lost souls that had such a scar on reality that you found your way into their dreams. Imagine, could you actually help the poor couple that had struggled and fought for their needs with a child and their own health? What about the person who’d found a reason to walk down the road and nearly die in a dangerous series of car incidents? What had driven them to do such a thing?

And then there was Iggy. He was definitely one to be avoided. As another of the Wendigo, he had such power. And just as Roger had warned you about, it was quite clear that he was an eater of people. And with that sadistic taste in flesh, he’d become not only powerful but also callus and with little Humanity left.

There was still guilt within you from your encounter with Harry at the abandoned house. You’d gotten what you wanted from him, but what had it cost you in the end? If the police found that place and searched over all the evidence, would it lead them to you? If it didn’t, would it be you that owed Kepler Hawking a favor for wiping their minds?

The two of you now have the chance to explore each other and explore the world together. You can help guide Myst and Myst can help to hone your mind through meditation and reflection.

You can now live with the knowledge that you have a blessing and you need to work to use it and not see it as a curse. There is a mysterious world just beyond so many human perceptions. You have walked through fire and now you are ready to face it.
