#danny gets poisoned by the lazarus pits which does all kinds of funky things to his core and to him

[hypewinter]

Something had corrupted him. He knew that. Something had twisted his obsession into something similar yet very foreign. He had become more aggressive and off-kilter. He knew he shouldn't be ok with doing these things. His old self would be horrified. But Danny couldn't remember why. He didn't remember why it was wrong to kill. Why it was wrong to follow this man's orders. And he most definitely didn't understand why his body seemed to scream at him to get away from the sickly looking green. Especially because the sickly green was one of the few things he remembered.

He remembered getting curious, getting too close, and getting dragged in. That was all. He didn't remember what happened before nor what happened after. By the time he started remembering things again, he was already under the influence of the weird man. It is for this reason it was so comforting to be close to the sickly green and yet the very fibers of his body seemed repulsed by it.

Danny didn't understand what was so wrong about the sickly green. He didn't remember why he was supposed to avoid it. So he kept as close to the sickly green as possible. He also kept to the strange man and followed what he said. There was a deep gut feeling that told him not to. And the funnily dressed people continued to say stay away too. But he couldn't. Because what if he distanced himself only to never find something familiar again? What if he left only to be surrounded by things he couldn't understand?

He was lost in a sea of unknown, desperately clinging onto his little island of familiarity. He dared not let go and risk sinking into the depths.
