Temperance, Jerimiah… even … well, he’d spoken to people about this, he wanted to be sure someone knew what happened if this didn’t go well. The whispers in the back of his mind, the plastic that appeared at random times, the fact that people, normal people that hadn’t ever been seen by him in Other Ashdown didn’t seem to be able to see him, or not very well.
He needed to, really needed to go back and talk to them. He hoped he wasn’t going to make them mad.
He also had no solid idea where to find them, so he took at least a small risk and listened to the voices in the back of his mind once he passed back to Other Ashdown. He hoped it wouldn’t make things worse … but.

“… But to prove that I have to think enough like you to know how to convince you!” He said half anxious and half frustrated. “I’m not… part of something larger. I’m me. And maybe that means I can do less but , when I do sacrifice part of myself… I think it means more.”
He dragged his hands through his hair.
“…I don’t work with the group mind, if anything historically I try and fight against it, not well but I do. You are the definition of a group mind. I can’t do that.” He shook his head realizing that.
“… I don’t want to be alone, I don’t want to lack meaning, but if all I am is part of you that’s exactly what will happen, and I’m so scared of you in my head, not because you aren’t… alive or vital, but because you are what I’ve pushed so hard against. If I joined you I’d be betraying that part of myself, and more than that I’d be hurting the people I want so much to protect. If you’re here to protect then you’ll understand why I can’t throw myself into this at least. I… I don’t know if You’ll understand, because I am human, and I don’t think you are, maybe you never were.”
"if I stop being, it won't be to be part of what I'm fighting. It will be for my friends, not... not in spite of them."
