Matthew kept walking away from the dorms. "How do we know what's real and what isn't then?" He looked to his shadow which walked beside him "How deep am I in these hallucinations?"
"I don't know," Brian said as he walked beneath him "The hallucinations of schizophrenia can vary heavily. We know ours are audible and visual hallucinations, but I don't know for sure if they could manifest an entire world."
"Well, How do we know the fake stuff then?" Lass asked as they passed a window "We know were not real. I only appear in glass, and yer just his shadow."
"Yeah, there's something off about us so we know we're just parts of Matt's brain; there's a slip up to us." Brian said "So how do we know the rest is?"
"Are monsters even real?" Lass asked, and then ran to another window to keep up
"That fight with that orc felt real." Matthew said "Can't really say about the bigger fight against three."
"Yeah, we didn't really feel it either." Brian said and he grabbed his flat head as his body shifted hazily over the grass "This is so confusing! We fought an orc and felt it fight back, but how can it be real?"
"How do we know our friends here are real?" Matthew asked, and as he was about to turn the corner he paws. Out by the benches were Sera and Tori, talking, laughing, being like normal people. He walked them there, out of view of a window, just staring from a distance at those things. His ear drooped at the painful thought, what if no one's really over there?
"Matt, They could be real." Brian said "Maybe that's just how they look to us right now?"
"How do we know though? How can we tell if anything's a lie?.."
"Well, this is based off our brain, right?" Lass said, now an echoing voice in Matthew's head "What if we did something and didn't get what we'd want?"
"What do you mean?" Brain said within the same state.
"If we kissed one of them, we'd know because Tori would punch us." Lass said "It'd hurt but if they liked it, we'd know they were fake."
"But wouldn't not getting what we wanted be getting what we wanted?" Brian asked
"No, because we deep down we must want the to like it, we want the to be real. so... we'd....."
"That's what I thought."
Lass started growling in his head "How would you figure it out then, Einstine?"
"I don't know, I need time to think!" Brian snapped.
Matthew let out a hard sigh and stomped away.
"Matthew?" Brian got no answer from him as he followed. "Matthew?"
"Oh lord," Lass whimpered "Do ye think it's..."
"No, hasn't really come out like this, and we didn't even see-"
"Just shut up." Matthew said and kept going.
