The Emotional Rules Handbook.
[Rule 3: Find the client in Room 103. She knows how to escape.]
[Rule 4: Do not trust any apartment resident who tries to speak to you.]
[Rule 11: Do not try to use pen and paper. Written words are also considered "sound" and will be erased by the shadows.]
Every urban legend is a reflection of shattered emotions;
Every rule stems from a flaw in the human heart.

The only way to "soothe" these monsters driven mad by their emotions is to actively "resonate" with them and become one of them.
Because to defeat the abyss, you must first become the abyss!
