Guess not. I'm a bit confused, did Crest and the others witness Qtalda's spell on Mary? If I remember right it was just the conclave.

Really?
It's a culture reference. Pinocchio?
(You were joking, right?)
Or he's about to reveal how odd it was that she was able to analyze all of this in such a short amount of time.
Read that passage again. The intense fear was a distraction. While you do need determination to get past the fear, the actual issue is a sort of palpable strain on the body. She got through by building physical strength through walking around.
I find it interesting that Thin Man's qualia theory appears to be a dead end.Indeed, or maybe May hasn't asked the right questions yet. It's all too freaky still.
So she's basically a creepy perky child?
To answer your question Marona, there was probably a barrier around the exit. Not the path itself. Meaning, remember how May had to build her physical strength? The fear thing was Eye's doing, as was the pain, and the despair. But the unseen barrier that May had to scoot past in Phase 1? This was probably kitty.
It's more about not getting it than not listening.oh geez i think she removed her own eyes. gross! and painful!
I don't think she removed anything. But I do think she slashed at her face.QuoteIs it some different conditioning that makes her walk?
It's not conditioning. As I've been saying (you guys don't listen), there are other approaches to despair than simply getting used to it (conditioning).
One of them is distracting yourself (arguably what May is doing). Another is changing your negative filter to a positive one (basically, seeing a bright side of a situation). Another is to basically expose the lie of negative thoughts (looking for proof from one's past that, no you haven't "never been loved"). Another is solving the actual problems causing the despair (this one can be difficult if you are stuck, it typically requires the person be fairly healthy).
oh geez i think she removed her own eyes. gross! and painful!Why would she though? Wouldn't it be like with the helmet, but permanent? In any case, is May really so determined to do this for Lehm?
