Deep inside the mindscape of the entity a large monster lie, sobbing about its fears and trauma about abandonment, its wishes to be loved singularly above all others. Its selfish desire coloring and contrasting its guilt for wanting too much.
The entity went to speak to this creature, to find some way to soothe and appease it. Its hallucinations about worst case scenarios so vivid they can be seen being re-enacted by the shadows. Its selfish desire for singular love and commitment stemming from its terror of being abandoned, of reaching a point of deprecation, or redundancy that its eventually quietly forgotten.
"Why must you dwell on the worst? We have so much to be happy about now..." The entity tried to reason.
"So... Much... To lose... I need to be everything to someone, irreplaceable, needed... They leave... They all leave..." The creature droning in a low, distorted tone, its mournful wails as potent as if the worst had already happened, because it had in the past, and would in its mind forever.
"We cannot demand this of anyone, you and i both know its selfish, to desire to be everything to one we risk favoritism, worse we risk unfairly limiting one's prospects... This is why we sacrifice, we lose everything if we turn into a tyrant." The entity continued, trying to reason with the heap of loss and shadow.
"I... Am... Forlorn... Destined to be alone, unless i become someone's god..." The creature moaned as if not even registering the entity.
"This... This isnt healthy, friend. Things are better, they will remain better, but only if we maintain our sense of fairness. We cannot bogart another entity." The entity spoke, trying to maintain objectivity against the oddly persuasive creature.
"But imagine it... To be worshipped, to be loved more than anything, cherished more than anything, more than life, more than air or food... Its bliss..." The creature mused, almost sounding eased as it seemingly imagined its dark fantasy.
"No... Yes it would be... Perfection... Intoxicating... But like any intoxicant its addictive, dangerous, prone to abuse... If you cannot turn from this thought pattern i need to prevent you affecting mine." The entity replied, putting its foot down before imprisoning the Forlorn in glass, cutting off its influence over the entity's emotions over time.
"You know these glass prisons dont hold... Because anything we cage in them is always proven right.... I'll be free... Because we are all Forlorn..."
