#ALICE: MADNESS RETURNS :
( some triggering content may be present ! change pronouns to suit. )
back to admire your handiwork? returning to the scene of the crime?
there’s an infinite amount of hope, but not for us!
wonderland has become quite strange. how is one to find her way?
what you claim not to know is merely what you’ve denied.
i was expecting someone else!
the real world is not so “wonderful”. you’ll need to grow up.
don’t piss on what’s right and owing to me!
is sanity required for the job?
the uninformed must improve their deficit, or die
a reflection sometimes exposes more reality than the object it echoes.
i can’t say i’m surprised you’ve been incarcerated in the asylum again.
a good guest does not overstay, a perfect guest stays home!
only a few find the way, some don’t recognize it when they do—some don’t ever want to…
problems you refuse to deal with don’t exist! you deny reality!
i’ve not come back here looking for a fight.
you shouldn’t ask questions you know the answer to, it’s not polite.
who set that bloody train in motion? where has it come from?
i’d like to forget what you did. i’ve tried, but i can’t.
there is no method in this madness!
don’t try to bully me. i’m very much on edge!
my alabaster skin needs protection from the disgusting creatures running amok amidst the environs.
only the insane equate pain with success.
you allow others to tell you what isn’t real.
what does she know that i don’t?
you look decent enough. but appearances deceive.
where should i go, then? what should i do?
another day, a different dream perhaps.
choose your battles wisely.
my head’s exploded and there’s a steam hammer in my chest!
one can’t always do as one would like. i would have thought you’d know that by now.
i’ve managed without you so far.
i’ll frighten myself when necessary, thank you very much.
i know you for being an unstable and violent person!
only fools believe that suffering is just wages for being different.
my memories make me vomit.
you don’t know your own mind!
we’re at risk here. you, be on your guard.
recovering the truth is worth the suffering.
you’re as randomly lethal and entirely confused as you ever were.
authority must be obeyed, or it must be overthrown!
you’re a killer! the mastermind of a criminal enterprise.
i know i’m guilty of something, but punishment hardly ever suits the victims of a crime.
the only way in is through me. sacrifices must be made.
everything is better with bacon, don’t you agree?
the world is upside-down.
you’ve recaptured your vagrant memories. what are you doing with them?
a secret is only a secret when it is unspoken to another.
it’s not a dream. it’s a… memory. and it makes me sick!
you’ve used me and abused me, but you will not destroy me!
i think you’re more to their taste.
what? there’s no hope, then?
the cost of forgetting is high.
if fear paralyzes you… we’re lost.
make your survival mean something, or we are all doomed!
memories must be strictly managed, unproductive ones must be eliminated.
i was hoping to escape all that!
i’m not insane! i didn’t kill my family. i am fine. i’m not mad. i am innocent, i mean, not guilty!
different denotes neither bad nor good, but it certainly means not the same.
my wonderland is shattered. it’s dead to me.
forgetting pain is convenient, remembering it: agonizing.
who knows how to measure rules?
i may survive here, but you’re finished!
is there really so little hope?
i’ll show you the meaning of “sacrifice!”
every picture tells a story. sometimes we don’t like the ending. sometimes we don’t understand it.
if i had the time, i’d detail how often you prefer dealing with illusions rather than the real thing.
who benefits from your madness?
forgetting’s just forgetting, except when it’s not. then they call it something else.
i believe i know that way and i’d rather not travel further along it.
my professional opinion? madness is often a treatable disease, though perhaps not in this case.
the past must be paid for.
is it mad to pray for better hallucinations?
memory is a curse more often than a blessing.
at least the place i’ve landed is somewhat familiar
i’d hoped you were more courageous!
shame on you. you made a promise!
every adventure requires a first step. trite, but true, even here.
you’re a distant and stubborn child, too content in your own world.
i deserve consideration, don’t i?
you did a few errands, got your hands dirty. big deal.
i’d need a better reason to respond than what’s currently on offer!
“cruel to be kind”, that’s my technique as they say.
come to receive your punishment then?
threats, promises and good intentions don’t amount to action.
when you’re not on edge, you’re taking up too much space.
those who witness abuse without seeking retribution for the harm pay a penalty.
can you give me more than a warning?
“flight or fight” implies a permanent choice, but “flight” often just means putting the fight off to another day.
i want to forget! who would choose to be alone, imprisoned by their broken memories?
