Descent
“Is that your next question?”
Alastor grimaced, grinding his teeth.
“…most of our kind usually has no need to stay away from each other. Very few are blessed to meet their mate, after all. A one in a million chance. But on some instances that they have to separate, for example: to work or study somewhere far away, it’s been observed that they all seemed to have developed some common issues.”
“Issues…?”
He waved a hand, “You know–insomnia, depression or eating disorders with or without having a mark. Sometimes, they turn to become fixated with one thing or the other to cope like alcohol, drugs… worst case scenario is either suicide or a slow, descent to madness.”
