Jonah carried the two mugs back to his office, not exactly sure what it is he's going to see. The ... reunion with Altair was something they hadn't expected. He was fairly intrigued to see what it was the demon was after today. It had been a short few months, but Jonah had missed their conversations.

Altair : <( That one was rather prudish, don’t you think? I can never understand how you’re able to tolerate…that. I’d have him begging for help if it came to it. 💅 )

Altair : <( Is that rude of me? )

He rolled his eyes, setting up the kettle--and two mugs, just in case.

I expected him to vanish... being a wanted convict and all. But returning? That, I did not expect.

PRE-SESSION NOTES: The police have been monitoring my home for the last week. Apparently, he wasn't lying-- there was no body located at the scene. Only a plastic doll. The doll was, of course, not precisely intact, and they've yet to tell me if they've concluded whether or not the blood was human. But... the body being fake? That's... actual progress.

SESSION NOTES: Client 11 Client 11 continues to struggle with accountability and self-aggrandizing. He clarified to me in today's session that he believes he may have NPD. I have referred him to our Psychiatrist for a consultation. The session itself went well. The discussion of his behavior was productive. Since ending his relationship with █████, Client 11 has been able to thoughtfully introspect and focus his energy and attention on himself and his betterment. We discussed the possibility of finding him a support group, but he became frustrated, stating that seeking help from a group was "weak" and that he could do so on his own. I assured him that was not the intention of a support group exactly, and that in reality, they exist to build communities between similar people so that it is easier to feel as though you belong. Client 11 lashed out--though not physically, again progress--raising his voice about "How humiliating it is to be here in the first place, let alone getting help from a ███ █████," I was forced to end the session early and have him come back next week. I will tolerate plenty, but direct insult to my person is not on that list. May he dream well. 💭

Please.

[He whispered into the dark, hating the way his body reacted to the sensation of... whatever was approaching. Jonah tucked themselves deeper into bed, hoping they would awake the next morning with the good fortune of it all being just a 🇧‌🇦‌🇩‌ 🇩‌🇷‌🇪‌🇦‌🇲‌.]

[His breathing was heavy. The panic settling into his chest quickly and without warning. He prayed to any god that would listen that it would fade. He knows it wont.]

Fuck.

What the actual fuck is going on? I haven't felt like this since... No. That's not possible.
