This is a dreamy one

Thanks to my critters: HarryBlank, Calibold, and Aftokrator

ALSO huge shoutout to Harry and AnAnomalousWriter for some pointers on the image manipulation on the stained glass.

Spoilers

Müller was amnesticized multiple times (as it didn't take), having a significant effect on her mental health because she could feel that memories were missing. She was silenced by the Foundation, and so she silences them in return. The anomalous effects initially targeted the teenagers and the cops in order to gain the Foundation's attention, as Müller has regained her voice in death… even if she cannot directly communicate her ire.

The choice to tell the story without dialogue, focusing on images and imagery, works super well for this piece. Love the pics, love the implications, love the ending, love the skip.

This is so good, I'm stealing your credit from it.

In all seriousness, very enjoyable, the images especially were a nice touch +1

I'm here for that ending. The middle is good, but the way it comes together at the end is very good. It's a great leadup for the final line, and it retroactively justifies a lot of the imagery (obviously, that's the point). I think being sick is making me have trouble coming up with more words for this comment, but I will say that I spotted just a couple SPaG errors, which I would go back and fix if I remembered what they were (yet again, not fully here right now), so you could probably do a once-over, I remember specifically a sentence missing a word or something like that.

I'm always here for more thematic development around amnesticization and portraying the Foundation as "angelic," like, contrasting what they are doing with how they are viewing themselves (that's sorta the vibe I got, "we're helping you" while they spill the memory-water out of the bucket), it's neat. I approve. +1 obviously.

Those stained glass imagines look really pretty. Really made the scip for me.

I love it when something happens that retroactively makes everything else make sense, and this does that really well. I also found the choice to do it without dialogue to be very refreshing, and well done!

The images are awesome, and the actual content had some pretty impactful implications that made me go "oh shit" when I realized what was going on. +1!

Started reading this a while ago and only now finished. Really enjoyed it! The stained glass is great.

I love that there's a point at which everything just clicks. 'Oh, that's what the angels mean!' and so forth. Really liked the way you told the story for this one. Also, really good imagery, both in text and, well, in the stained glass.

Easy upvote~

I really like the religious imagery in this one, it help give a consistent theme to the log and also serves the core message (the Foundation thinks of themselves as gods, able to remove the memories of innocents at will, which lead to the girl's depression and suicide). The images certainly help with the overall "dreamy" aesthetic in this one.

Great spin on the idea of the affects of amnestics. +1. The Foundation can be very immoral, which this exemplifies.

Love the while thing. That log really took you on a journey that got neatly wrapped up in the end.
