Editing Genius The Transgression/Chapter One: The Cosmos (section)

===Motivations:===

The nature of a Klagen's loss determines her subsequent behavior. Some work to reverse the tragedy that befell them, while others try to prevent their fate from befalling others―possibly against their will. Other Klagens begin their Inspired careers peculiarly directionless, even fatalistic. Faced with strange new abilities, many retreat into bewilderment, wondering what to do with their ruined lives.

But Mania doesn't let them rest. The visions always come: plans to undo the damage they've caused, dreams of how to take away pain and sorrow and despair, and most of all, an overwhelming urge to warn others about the doom that rushes toward them. This prophetic, often futile doom-saying―a Cassandra complex―defines Klagens, who are haunted by the failures of their past and nightmare images of the future. This constant dread and despair can drive a Klagen insane if she is not careful, goading her into irrational, hysterical behavior.
