I dearly hope everyone is safe after the turmoil in Olympia.
Wyver too, I've heard, though I was fortunate enough to not to experience it myself.

Does anyone else find it odd? That tensions were suddenly inflamed in such a way. Normal people turning violent.
Or the refugees ourselves having our own aggressive tendencies reinforced and heightened.

It's hard to believe that all of this is entirely natural, or the result of simple historical tensions.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this before? Something that has this sort of aggressive effect on the populace?

Hm. So they were hallucinating. But it didn't seem to have any sort of purpose, or they weren't approaching the world from a new point of view, were they?

What exactly do you mean by that?

My apologies. I feel we may be miscommunicating using different definitions of the word. To me, "brainwashing" carries the connotation of it being intentional, i.e. someone trying to change someone's viewpoint to match their own. But from what you're telling me, they were just hallucinating due to being severely ill?
