	'''WHAT'S BEEN KEEPING YOU AWAKE?''' ~~This is~~ the ~~source of your Insomnia~~. ~~This is what landed you in~~ the ~~Mad City~~.		'''WHAT'S BEEN KEEPING YOU AWAKE?''' I never wanted to be anything like my dad.

			When I was younger, I tried to pretend I didn't have a problem. When I got suspended for fighting in school 'cause some asshole said something I didn't like, I told myself it was anyone's fault but mine, that I was doing the normal thing and the teachers and everyone else were just too chickenshit to recognize it. I'd never beat on someone who didn't deserve it, someone who couldn't defend themselves, like he did on me.

			Then...Katelyn was the first person who'd ever made me feel safe, and when I found out she was messing around behind my back, I just...I fucking snapped, man.

			That was two weeks ago. I don't think I've slept an hour since. Every time I close my eyes I just see her...Jesus, I don't know if I should try and get some kinda help or just jump off a fucking bridge, save everybody the trouble...

	~~'''WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU?''' This is the scene right before the start of the game. This is your first solid brush with Nightmares.~~

	'''WHAT'~~S ON THE SURFACE?~~''' ~~When people look at you~~, what ~~do they see? This is~~ the ~~mask you show~~ the world.		'''WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU?''' Fuck if I know, man...I'd snuck out late, again, 'cause no amount of pissing my dad off is worse than just being shut up in my room in the dark and reliving what happened over and over. And right as I was walking under this one streetlight, it flickered and then went off, and it was like it took all the light in the world with it, I couldn't see for shit, and then after a second it came back on, but then when it did I noticed there was this alleyway that I swear to God wasn't there before. So for some reason I felt like I had to go in there, and then it opened up onto this street that didn't look like any city I've ever seen, like somebody had smashed five different blocks from two hundred years ago all together, and there were all these people dressed like it was the fucking 1800s...

	~~'''WHAT LIES BENEATH?''' When people look at you, what DON'T they see? This is what lives under the mask.~~

	'''WHAT IS YOUR PATH?''' ~~Where are you headed? What do you want? What do you need? What will you do~~ to ~~get it?~~		'''WHAT'S ON THE SURFACE?''' A calculated campaign of rebellion against military discipline: shaggy hair, baggy clothes, fuck-off attitude ground down by exhaustion and hollowed out by pain and fear that's beginning to show through the cracks.


			'''WHAT LIES BENEATH?''' Fear of becoming what he hates; fear that he already has. Fear of letting anyone get close, of trusting and being betrayed. Rage barely constrained by self-loathing and guilt.


			'''WHAT IS YOUR PATH?''' To escape the madness, Danny needs to see where his anger comes from--his fear of being vulnerable--and learn to let down his guard, to stop keeping things bottled up and express himself in healthier, less destructive ways.

	'''WHAT NIGHTMARE DOGS YOUR STEPS?''' ~~One specific Nightmare from the Mad city always seems to be somewhere~~ near, ~~perhaps only caught out~~ of the ~~corner~~ of ~~your eye or elusive as a shadow among shadows. Perhaps it is something more solid and real. Describe this Nightmare~~.		'''WHAT NIGHTMARE DOGS YOUR STEPS?''' The Violence. When it's near, there's no ignoring it. It's never still, never quiet, never subtle; anything that gets in its path, it breaks. It has no skin, tattered shreds hanging off raw red flesh, dripping blood that stains everything where it passes by. It attacks with claws, with teeth, with spurs of bone piercing through its flesh from within, with lightning that crackles and leaps off it unchecked; flickering lights and malfunctioning machinery are the first signs of its approach, before its ceaseless screaming becomes audible.

			:'''Repair:''' Auto shop was the only class I ever did okay at. Kinda nice to feel like I can fix something for once, instead of just breaking it.

			'''MADNESS TALENT'''
			:'''Charge:''' There's lightning under my skin. When I let the skin split open and fall away, the lightning gets out. Let out just a little, and I can shock someone enough to stun them with a touch, jump-start a car, blow out a lightbulb. A little more, and I can taze someone unconscious, blow up a car, fry all the lights in a room. Give it free reign, and it'll electrocute a whole crowd, or power on or short out a whole city block.

	*'''MADNESS TALENT''' That thing you do that shouldn't EVEN be possible . . .		:Thing is, every time I let the lightning out, it gets a little harder to rein it in again, and my skin heals a little bit less...
