🔥 CHAPTER 13 REACTION: WHO ARE WE EVEN ANYMORE?
🚨 RECKLESS TEENAGE GOSSIP AS A WEAPONIZED PLOT DEVICE
Will.

My man.

Did you seriously think you could whisper “Josie has a crush on Philip” to Mike—while he’s possessed by Philip’s damn thought patterns—and it wouldn’t backfire with the fury of a thousand nuclear ex-girlfriends?

“Maybe you should keep your fucking business out of other people’s fucking business.”

That was full betrayal mode, right there. Mike doesn’t just storm off.
He melts down.
And suddenly you are the villain of your own gossip network.

(And guess what? It wasn’t even your secret to tell.)

😬 CONSEQUENCES STARTING TO ACTUALLY STICK
And now we’ve got social fallout.

Mike’s icing you in English.
Josie’s prickly and glancing your way like she wants backup but isn’t sure if she should trust you.
And you’re thinking back to Caleb, the one guy you didn’t tell—and probably should’ve.

This is no longer fun.

This is the story slowly pivoting from adventure to chaos.
The group dynamic is spiraling—and guess what?

Carlos is here now.

🧃 ENTER: CARLOS MOTHERF***ING MONTOYA
Carlos is pure Mike energy turned up to 11.

Workout bro.
YouTube studio.
Storage unit lair.
CHAOS VESSEL.

And Mike didn’t just tell him—he practically anointed him.
No vote. No vetting. Just: “He’s my boy.”

Philip, trying to be rational, is just getting steamrolled by Mike’s charisma and Carlos’s improv comedy.
And then there’s you, our poor Will, just watching your secret magic book become the group project from hell.

🤯 THE MEMORY GLITCH EXPLAINED... SORT OF?
Okay, THIS is big:

Mike didn’t get Carlos’s memories—until he slept in the mask.

That… is chilling.

What does that mean?
That it takes deep unconscious immersion to fully overwrite the mind?
That the persona is still cooking during REM sleep?

Either way, we're no longer in "makeover montage" territory.

We're now fusing identities in the dark.

😱 CHOICE TIME: WHO DO WE GO SHOPPING WITH?
Let’s be honest: this is less about errands and more about alliances.

Carlos & Mike: The chaos bros. The improv show. You're gonna be third-wheeling hard, but might get a glimpse into whatever rogue plans they’re cooking up. (High potential for hijinks, low for actual progress.)

Kim & Josie: The tension squad. Josie’s hurt. Kim’s distant. This is damage control territory—and possibly your last chance to win them back. (Emotional intelligence needed; risk of confrontation = HIGH.)

Philip: The wizard in exile. The only one treating this like an experiment instead of a joke. If you're after answers and maybe some power consolidation, this is the move.

🧠 MY PICK: 3. Go with Philip.
We need intel.
We need calm.
We need one person who hasn’t started treating this like a game show.

You already broke Josie’s trust.
Mike is spiraling into full frat-god mode with Carlos.

Time to check in with the brain behind the book.

Let’s go find out what Philip really thinks about the personas, the mens, and this whole damn circus.

Let’s make it count.
