I... No, I do not.

Before I awoke in the sewers, my survival had already depended on murder - both of the inner self and of outside influences. If my nature is to change according to the rules of the land, then I will do what I must to survive.

My world was no better than this. One that facilitates the incarceration of children in madhouses and strips them of their childhood, then spits them out into a cruel scenario years after the fact is not a good one. Wonderland was my comfort. Here, there are other comforts. And if the Fog brought me here, as I have been told, then I consider it a blessing in disguise.

I hope you do not find this strange or unsettling. Perhaps it is, but as an old friend once told me, there isn't always method in madness.

No. I don't find it strange or unsettling at all.

Have people called you mad in the past, Alice?

<snickersnack>

[shrinksense]

As many times as they have called me by my name, mister Aunamee.
It is practically second-nature, loathe though I may be to admit it.

Why does the Fog choose those that She chooses?

<saturnschild>

[marcato]

She chooses us because we're special. Our very presence can make a difference in this world. We can change it for the better.

I've been called mad as well. It's horrible, isn't it?

<snickersnack>

[shrinksense]

It is needlessly cruel.

Special how? How are we supposed to change it?
