I still can’t stop myself from thinking about a Persona AU of In Sound Mind (since they both involve fighting your Jungian Shadow.) In Persona, people meet their Shadow and go “you’re not me,” then “you’re me.” Desmond’s canon Shadow acts as intrusive thoughts, and he knows they’re his, but he shouts them down because they’re wrong. What would intellectual recognition without emotional acceptance do to a Persona-style Shadow?

Man, there sure are a LOT of books that think societies with “lower tech” are inherently more xenocidal than societies with “higher tech.” They’re called primitive, savage, and barbaric, but they can’t manufacture Zyklon B.
