À Mon Seul Désir

Subplots

Broken Mirror

The Vist Foundation concludes it will need to use more drastic measures to attend to business surrounding the final Coordinate.

This subplot includes heavy, high-resolution depictions of mind control, torture, and memory manipulation.

This subplot has very precise timing, and not all logs' IC dates and OOC dates match! As a result, this section of this page highlights timeline elements more clearly.
