trying to figure out what happened last night...

 

In short, Laurie lost it.
I was subjected to 40+ solid minutes of physical/mental torture, which had no discernible motive other than inducing crushing guilt and self-deprecating thoughts for the sake of "punishment."
The most terrifying part wasn't the pain in itself... it was her absolute refusal to stop, negotiate, or even explain herself. Not only that, but Chaos tried to intervene on my part, and she attacked him so severely and abruptly that he actually bled. Needless to say I was in a total panic by now.
...After Q showed up and therefore rendered her incapacitated (at least temporarily), Chaos, Marik, Bakura, & I tried to figure out what had happened. We couldn't.

For the first time in my 4 years of knowing her, Laurie had visibly unwound... unhinged, even. I think she might've even been blind; she didn't seem able to comprehend ANYTHING, let alone those around her. She insisted everything we spoke was a lie and was apparently focused (albeit in a very frantic manner) on the senseless mania that was dictating her actions.

I don't know if she slept or not. I was, understandably, afraid to sleep, as she had been severely hacking my 'dreams' when I tried to escape the night before.
I'm worried sick. If my own superego is going through this, what's going to happen to the rest of us?



...Should I try to talk to her alone? I'm scared of another attack but maybe I'll just have to risk it for her sake.
I do NOT want anyone else near her when she's this unstable anyway. Considering how mindlessly vicious she was last night, I refuse to take any chances concerning the well-being/ safety of others.
I just don't know what to do.
