#schizophrenia is not gonna give you abilities out of nowhere so how about you get yourself a singing coach

Bumble cmon y’know I don't technically work in the archives! Yeah yeah, I know, “if I'm gonna be down here I might as well help” ugh fine fine, just give me the statement- yeah ill be back in a bit then.

Alright, let's see what we got here. Statement of Wendy Morales, hmm oddly familiar name- regarding… ah a series of encounters with impossible figures? Original statement given on march 17th, 2021, recorded on February 17, 2023. Alright uhh, oh! Yeah! Statement recorded by Pluto “Purple” Morado, Artifact storage assistant at the Magnus Institute, London. Statement begins.

“Okay, I'm gonna start this out with the fact that yeah, I know that I have a family history of schizophrenia, you think that when this started that wasn't the first thing I checked for? I was basically in the doctor's office as soon as it started happening, and they said everything was normal. So no, I know I'm not going crazy… at least god I hope not, or maybe I should hope that’s the case considering- whatever! Anyway- ugh- let me just start at the beginning. It started a few months ago. Really small things, like seeing motion out of the corner of my eye or background noise that sounds like voices murmuring but you can't quite make it out. Things that could be easily ignored or missed. But let me tell you it didn't stay that way for long. I started actually feeling things touching me, clawing at my skin, or grabbing so tight I thought the circulation would get cut off. But it never actually showed physically. This was about the point I went to the doctor, and while they didn't see anything wrong with me, they still referred me to a psychologist just in case. That's beside the point though because it just kept getting worse. I started waking up feeling like something was choking me, pinning me down so I was helpless. It was terrifying, I felt like my mind was turning against me. Things started going missing, I lived alone so no one else was moving them, and I started hearing doors and cabinets slamming across the house. On top of that, there was an almost constant unintelligible cacophony of voices coming from nowhere. My own home started warping and changing into something unrecognizable. But the worst, oh the worst of it was the dark, warped figures that I saw everywhere. No one else seemed to see them but me, but what terrified me the most was how they could interact with the world, changing things around me. Making me feel like nothing in my world is real. God, I just- I just don't want to live like this anymore. Is anything even real? Am I real? Please- please just help me please- “

Statement ends, while I was reading I figured out where I recognized the name from. I probably shouldn't say this on tape- eh ill just cut this section- but this is one of my first victims. I'm still developing but I wanted to try out my abilities on someone, just to understand what exactly I could do. I kinda hoped that by picking someone who expected hallucinations, I could mitigate the damage I did, but oh well you win some you lose some I guess. Sorry Bumble, I know you would be angry at me if you knew about everything. Honestly, you probably will be when you find out, cause there's really no avoiding it. But I hope you understand why I can’t tell you now.
