+> Tell me about mania.
+
+No.
+
+Wait, what? Why are you asking? Weren't you there?
+
+> I was. I...am?
+
+I don't think I'm hypomanic now. On my way, perhaps. I can't sleep.
+
+> I may be, then. Tell me about mania.
+
+No, tell me why you're asking.
+
+> I'm more of a liminal creature, myself. It's hard to keep an ally around when depression slowly shuts down avenue after avenue of reaching one. You, as a reflection of me, become distorted while manic. Fun-house mirrors and blind-spots. I want to hear about it.
+
+No.

+> I was there when you wrote those.
+
+So? Does that not clarify it?
+
+> Will anything?
+
+Likely not.
+
+I will say, though, that I missed some stuff in my investigation earlier. You did come back for three brief days in November, 2013. It was at a liminal time, but you didn't stick around.
+
+> I'll remind you that you ignored me for one of those posts.
+
+Point.
+
+Let's get into mania later. We owe each other that. For now, bed. And tomorrow, something a little less harrowing.
+
+> Ah yes. Polyamory. Known for being easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
