Hey everyone, I'm back! It came to my attention over the hiatus that there was an unauthorized translation of Superego floating around. I'd really like it if you told me you plan to translate Superego in the first place (instead of me having to stumble upon it randomly), but this one had an extra layer in that it added a bunch of extraneous elements that ended up changing the story. Please don't do that! For a translation, I don't mind localized speech or names (whatever gets the same mood across in your native tongue), but I do take offense to changing story concepts themselves (as that changes the mood itself). This is a story primarily about mental illness, written by me. Adding new things and changing others is not only disrespectful to me as an author, but it makes it not my story anymore. (...And if you DO have an idea that's "Superego, but (x)," why not use that creative power to make your own original story instead?) If you have any interest in translating Superego or have questions about how to translate something, please shoot me a PM anywhere I'm available! I don't bite, I promise. In fact, I'd like to make a website for Superego once it's over, and if you have a translation done by that time, I'd love to include it as an option! With that out of the way, let's get back to what you came here for! |

>...But you meant it, didn't you. You were so afraid of being earnest, of not being in control, of being the sucker for once - but you said what you really felt, for once in your life. -it doesnt matter
-lets go have some fun "Uh..."
"Is this everyone?" "Where did the huge guy and tiny girl go?""And Helen!""And Helen." "Look, Sam, I know you said to stick close and whatever, but...maybe someone should go check on them?""And how do you suppose you'll do that? This place is falling apart!""I--""...Then that means there's fewer places for them to get lost in!""Er--""For YOU to get lost in, you mean.""Well I still said fewer!" |

>Sam: Have you told them what happened to Grey? Should you all check up on him?
 Well, that's the idea, but now they're squabbling. "If we just wait around for them and they never show up, what then?!""Girls, please--""I don't even want to wait around! I just want to get out of here!"
 "Ugh, shut up! I'LL go if it bothers you that badly!"
"You guys go down the hall to the black door at the end and MAYBE I'll be back later with--"
 "No, I'm going!""Wha--""If it makes you guys happy so badly, I'll go! I'll be fast."
>Okay, but, seriously, what would 'going to check on them' look like? What direction would we start walking?
 "What on earth..."
You don't know! "Up," you suppose. Find every door with some sort of circle symbol and yell into it? If there's a response, then someone's inside. Bam! Perfect plan. "Wait!"
 "I'm going with you." |

  "Welp. Follow me then.""But what about--""Nope! Tired of waiting. They're going to just have to meet us down there." "But what if the upper floors collapse around them?!""They know the risk. But they left anyway. It's their problem." |

"You c-can't possibly be getting anything o-out of this!"-oh but
-antagonizing is all i know
-grade school middle school high school college work
-doesnt matter where
-bullying cheating stealing conning
-being as unlikable as possible while putting on airs
-its just my neverending routine! "N-no it's not! P-p-people tell themselves they'll never change s-s-so they don't have a reason t-to TRY to change!"-hmmmmm
-sounds like youre speaking from experience"Cherry, don't humor him...">Helen: "Well, we'd like to help, but... If Mr. Stone himself isn't in a state to even talk to us, there's not a whole lot we can do! Maybe Dr. Grey can, though..." "We need to focus on getting out of here!""But how?!" "This pl-place is a maze we c-c-can hardly see!"-heheheheh |

"Uh...but...what's this about an announcement, exactly?""Dr. Grey wants us all in the basement! We're leaving this place!""Yeah, over the intercom, didn't you hear it? C'mon!" "No...?""Helen!""Look, let's just get out of here!!""How did we miss the...">Stay. Listen. -heheheh

>Then step back, and take a rest. Stop worrying so much, stop stressing out so much, stop doubting so much. Apathy can be a useful thing. Sometimes you need to stop caring about your problems to see them in a new light. Maybe they're not as bad as they seem, or maybe they have a simple solution. Maybe they're not really a problem at all. You just need to look at them from a different perspective.

Hi guys, I have sad news regarding the update of my personal life I referenced in the previous update. My dad passed away suddenly, thus dashing all plans of moving since we needed his salary. So technically I have no reason not to update Superego right now but obviously my mind is not in the right place and I'm not sure when it will be back. I do intend to finish this, especially now since we're so close to the end of Chapter 04, it seems ridiculous to go on hiatus right here but I cannot find the right mindspace to do it. I am still working on creative projects though, gotta keep myself moving somehow. If you want to keep in touch with me, you can try my Tumblr, Twitter, or my podcast. |
