Hi all,

We're posting from a throwaway account as we have concerns about connecting us to our public identity.

To give context, we believe our system is made up of three main interconnected parts at the moment: the part that expresses things externally, the part that might be the original host, and the part that continually beats him down. The first one is me, the one currently typing all of this out. For the sake of simplification, I've been ordered to refer to myself as A, the possible host as B, and the remaining one as C.

As of late, B discovered that we're here and that we're doing things for him. We don't mind, of course, none of us really cared that much about trying to draw too much attention to ourselves, but he gave C a voice nonetheless. At first, I just forwarded what B and C says at a given time if there was no disagreement between them, but I started airing both of them out when a conflict comes up. Some time later, B thought it'd be good to give me a spotlight as well, and here I am.

We've always been a part of B, none of us really see ourselves as different from him, but he doesn't really think that we are the same as him.

I noticed that C has been really abusing B a lot ever since she arrived but remained unnamed until now. However, my job is to express things via his body, so I didn't have much of a stake in trying to interfere. I can make remarks and leave comments, but C is mostly working in her own league berating B hard. Both of them relay orders to me on what to express at any given time.

However, I feel that I should at least try to explain what is going on and try to figure out if a solution is needed for this. Lately, B has been in a constant state of emotional meltdown, but C has continuously overridden his orders to express emotions. C is essentially the "straight" one that keeps us from falling apart, but I believe she is too strict at times and is very trigger-happy with censoring B. I am afraid that C might eventually push B too far and cause him to go dormant, but I cannot interfere.

If B ever goes dormant, we will likely still continue survival as usual with me and C. Our body won't wither and die, but we are likely to lack much of the emotional nuance that B provides. C says she will keep B around no matter what, but I theorize that B will go quiet and essentially be dormant while technically not being dormant.

I would like to ask what we could do in this case to potentially prevent B from doing so.
