Not one without some risks, but if Tav's being honest about how he feels, I think he'd probably give informed consent if it has a chance of working. Maybe one of the native mages might have some ideas about the approach, too. I know part of their training is lucid dreaming so they don't get sucker-punched by demons in the Fade while they're asleep.
Exactly. And to a lesser extent, I guess there’s meditation, breathing exercises, calming teas, anything I could teach him in the meantime to try to keep this shit on lock. He says it’s only been happening for three months, so that’s still early enough I hope he might be able to learn to control it.
But I do think we have to try something. Hoping and praying that he’s always going to be near the Gallows and that someone’s always going to be there with a handy piece of rope— We can’t do that forever. We’ll get complacent and something will go wrong.
Agreed. It's a risk we probably wouldn't even take with a non-rifter, to be honest, but it's not like he asked to be stuck here. We're going to need a long term solution that's not "lock him in every night," especially if he can do magic.

I know your hands are full, so I hate to kick this your way. But I also feel like until the decision comes out to tell the whole organization, I'm worried about the precedent of pulling more people in one at a time. Do you think you've got the capacity for us to tag-team pursuing this?
Yeah, it's not something I've encountered either. But thank you. I think we've got some good ideas, and everyone will feel better if we can get this under control. Not least Tav, I assume.

It’s maybe one of the weirder… conditions… I’ve ever had to manage, but it makes sense for us to work on it. A cure’s a cure is a cure.
