Person got problem with stress that make them extremely emotional.
Person reach their breaking point.
Person make an extreme leap of logic and distort into a manifestation of their desire.
The Distortion now seeks out their desire, if distorting in the first place didn't kill them.

(Using the balloon people incident in DD. They were office worker due to great stress caused their head to explode)

Edit: oh fuck I reply to the wrong person

To me, it's more like.
People experience traumatic events
People realize something about themselves.
People think about it.
People come to a conclusion that: OK, This is not my fault. I have to do this because the world is at fault.
They begin distort.
This happened to Phillip, yan, D20head, vampire, Pluto, And everyone else in the blue sicko gang
 
I heard the distinction is a little simpler than that.

If a person has a strong desire and attempts to fulfill it at any cost, they distort. If they want to fulfill their desire while maintaining their humanity, they manifest E.G.O.

This is apparently from recent volumes of Leviathan, but I only received it as second-hand information. So take it with a graint of salt.
 
hmm.
I can go look it up, we chinese have it all translated. But I really don't want to look at propaganda.
That's what I want to wait for the English version. But it seems like Translation team are all doing work for limbus company now.

I really don't think it's necessary, but if you want to, try the angle of X deliberately poking at issues before they blow up?
As we know, X's true mentality is that they had to work for whatever they got (and the Abnormalities were more halping than helping all things considered)

Perhaps. Maybe at a later date once we finish Arc 1.

I only make that Omake since we kinda went multiple chapter with full on all or nothing combat.

Beside. The main reason I made X oblivious, now that I think about it, was because its a hella lot more hilarious in my head.

Imagining Angela just fuming with envy while X just sit there all innocent, is just too funny to me.

Like. She suffered that problem with Ayin and Carmen (Keter's Realization is just purely Carmen not caring about Angela's feelings). And now her recently returned sister is unknowingly doing it to her.

X:"...."
Angela:*reading form her 133 pages long essay about why Ayin and Carmen sucks*
Roland, eating ham sandwich: "we can just go, she wont notice."
 
The moment she hears the name "Ayin" or "Carmen" get mentioned, or literally anything related to the two like "Sun-like voice", Angela already wrote up 100 pages of curses.
 
I thought that Homura's Distortion would happen later, towards the end of the story, and at the most inopportune moment, given its significance to the story. I was less right than I thought, but more than I would have liked.

Speaking of other things... We were probably able to fulfil both conditions of the birds. COMEUPPANCE to fight NT and SAVE to save the girls from a fate worse than death - and unlike save from death, this is a final save, not just a reprieve, as we interfere with the manifestation of NT.

And then Angela realizes that even her own subordinates like X more than her.
 
Lepidoptera, are you ok with this vote if it wins later (read: can you write it out?)
[] Book a counselling session(s) for yourself and Yuma

Normally it'd be vetoed because Japan, but X knows very well the need for such things. (And perhaps getting to know Yuma better)
Also there's the problem of payment: Ask QB (better mental state = less chance of blowing up), or Homura?
But the biggest problem is that AFAIK IRL counselling takes time to show effect, and translating X's experiences into something the other party will believe (since I doubt they've been clued into the Masquerade?)

For Yuma, certainly. For X, it will probably be a bit more difficult both for logistical reasons and because X isn't really ready to confront themself yet.
 
Good to know, and thanks for answering. That means we can try that for X too, it'll just have to be later. Maybe we could sit-in in Yuma's session, to learn more about our child?

E: Not ready to confront themselves = Not having The Knowing I, right?

We could do what we did to the Sephira: manifest our trauma, problems, and fears into an external foe to beat up. It worked great for Angela, too!
 
This isn't Persona, and are either of them role models we want to draw inspiration from? :V
I really don't want to have to figure out how to fight Yuma's Distortion...
 
....
I think yuma is the only one we can count on to not do that actually and gain an ego
Wisdom from the mouth of babes as the old men would put it
 
How the hell would X even get help with the counseling?

Shes an abnormality through and through. It would be useful for her in the shell state, but when DoSaM come out, wouldnt all of it get thrown in the trash?
 
So, I know X said she can't change abnormalities with Lobotomy, But I counter that, in her released state she can...

Via performing Lobotomy on the entirety of humanity simultaneously to alter the concepts the abnormality is made from
 
and suffers the long term mental baggage that carries with it?
She feels guilty about changing the life of a single girl. I doubt she will really put her mind to altering the whole humanity.
 
What would changing a concept's perception even mean in practice, though? (It's also not unlikely to do that you'd need to change the entirety of The City's humans too, given where they were drawn from)
 
it mean we need to change everyone's opinion about a idea.
It means we got a plant the idea of everyone thinks nothing there is a good girl and that is true into everyone's head.
it'll be like changing the definition of knife and sword and everybody believed it.
The problem with that is nothing there is The idea is already extracted, It is not going to change because the world around it changed, It has been severed. the idea is eternal and the only thing will change the person perception of the idea.
Even if we change people's perception of nothing there or people's opinion or how peoples thinks about the idea.
the original idea were not change because of it.
Humans perception changed, but the idea or the question did not.
