I think the Eye has some hold on you. Not much, but some.

[hijoperdido]

...And if that's true, if that's what it really is, what does that mean?

[curriculum_fictae]

It means you're in some trouble. But it's not surmountable.

[hijoperdido]

Oh, great! That's great.

Then you can help me fix it.

[curriculum_fictae]

...

I mean - I do know how. Yes.

[hijoperdido]

Then how?

[He almost sounds desperate, he wants this fixed, he wants his family safe.]

[curriculum_fictae]

[ God. GOD. He doesn't want to say this. ]

To get rid of the Eye's influence, you have to blind yourself.

[hijoperdido]

[Oh. Oh Bruno looks struck, a blade twisted through him in a flash.

A shuddering breath before he shakes his head.]

What else.

[curriculum_fictae]

[ Yeahhhhh sorry Bruno. Martin looks miserable. ]

There's nothing else.

[hijoperdido]

What if it's not that? What if it's something else.

[curriculum_fictae]

Then I suppose you'd blind yourself for no reason.

I'm not. Saying you SHOULD, I just. That's the only solution I know of.

[hijoperdido]

Then let's confirm what it is before we jump to any rash stuff!

[BLINDING HIMSELF wild, he's scared and that just did not help.]

[curriculum_fictae]

Okay, okay. That's. That's fine. Of course.

Let's go back to your room?

[hijoperdido]

[That seemingly settled, he nods before turning to lead the way back. More flowers and fauna have started to grow everywhere along the way.]

We gotta hurry, Isabela's around.

[curriculum_fictae]

She - she's the one doing that?

[ He eyes the flowers as they go. ]

[hijoperdido]

Y-yeah, that's her gift. Making flowers grow, but usually it's a lot more controlled than this.

[curriculum_fictae]

Ah. That - even if you blinded yourself, it probably wouldn't help her.

[hijoperdido]

[He hesitates opening the painting door to let Martin in first... But his fingers tremble as he closes it behind them. That iced chill at his feet becoming more pronounced with the shadows.]

And Luisa's strength being too much? Camilo's shapeshifting going weird?

[curriculum_fictae]

[ Martin shivers, then, and hurries as best he can. ]

The same. They'd - they'd each have to do something drastic to cut themselves off.

[hijoperdido]

[He shakes his head while they walk.]

I still don't understand any of this.

[curriculum_fictae]

I'm sorry. I wish I had better answers.

[hijoperdido]

[He mutters while they go-] Why can't it be simple, it should be simple.

[Gets the door to his room open, wringing his hands a bit both nervously and feeling like there's threads all around them.]

Okay. Okay, so you think it's your weird gods here, I think maybe something's happened to Casita. What else?

[curriculum_fictae]

[ Martin similarly waves at the air, instinctively sensing spiderwebs. ]

What do you mean, what else? I don't have any other ideas.

[hijoperdido]

There has to be! There has to be any other reason!

[curriculum_fictae]

...

[ Martin just stays silent, finding a spot to sit. ]
