Turn 80: October 1980
Carrie was still not used to everything. Neither were you, but you noticed that she wasn't in bed when you got up in the morning. And that was the case since you all moved into the compound, your little box where you knew it was safe.
But even then, you understood that she wasn't comfortable here. No one was, even you in a small, unbearable, and frustrated way. It was practically a fortress, you should feel safe here, to be happy. Everyone should be happy here because they are safe.
But no one was. All the modern amenities, all the state-of-the-art decor, the classical designs meant to remind you of New York, the statuary that you talked yourself into getting, filling the halls with marble and carpet. Yet it lacked the coziness that your previous home had. All the bigness was suffocating in the distance that you were creating, a casm of emotions that were slowly, but certainly building between you and Carrie and every one of your children.
A few of the guards they saw were more proof that you had taken things far. Far too far for it to go back to normal.
Movie night was going to change that. Talking to Carrie wasn't going to change that… and by god, this suffocation that you both were feeling was going to destroy you both.
But you were afraid… and you both weren't ready to leave this place.
Carrie to not leave you alone.
You because you couldn't bear being right, and those bastards coming back to finish the job.
---------------
You cannot leave for two more turns.
This place is a prison for your fears.
The place is a prison where Carrie won't let you suffer alone.
The kids are worried for you but don't know why.
