I'm sure that it helped that I--that the ghost within me--was already mad. But it became a game, one that I--we--were determined to win. Finding ways to entertain ourselves, to delay the boredom, to make some use of the parts of my body that otherwise woudl have fallen into disuse was key. Exercise, talking, singing, practicing my archery and swordsman's stance, jogging, making up stories, poems, songs, writing down and saying the names of everyone I cared about over-and-over again, rehashing every memory I could recall since the day I woke up, making pictures of the constellation of tiny dots on the ceiling overhead and then stories from that, going over every plan and conversation with everyone I knew that I wanted to have and could not yet, planning things I wanted to cook when I was out....

I made a routine of those activities, and dozens more, every day that I could make myself move so that I would not become one with the nothingness around me, and so that when the day came for me to be free again, I would be ready.

[Excuse him as he's just... awed by that for a while. Stunned. Surely it helped that she was already a little insane by then, but the sheer force of discipline and will to not be driven even further into madness by that was unbelievable.]

...What the crap.

Well. I'm surprised you're not as huge as I am after training that long.

[ being insane DEFINITELY helped, but her willpower is insane, cable, it's true. ]

Well, it seems like everything that happened to our bodies within that "dream" are null.

[ IF NOT SHE'D. she's be full of holes, everywhere. ]

Besides, it wasn't as though I had anything to train with.

[ her idea of exercise and training is a lot different than cable's tbf, but also, just imagine her practicing her archery and swordsmanship like someone playing air guitar ]

[Adorable. Nathan laughs weakly, though his heart wasn't really in it - trying to find some way to react to this information that wasn't just abject horror.]

A prepared mind and spite really go a long way, huh.

Even still... how're you holding up?

[She mentioned attachment and dependency - no matter how much willpower she had, she had to be experiencing it too to some degree.]
