[He know he's playing a dangerous game here. That's why he's on audio instead of video, in case he...slips up. Being an Avatar of the Stranger had both its benefits and its downsides, and sometimes he couldn't quite...help the way he looks, especially if he gets a whiff of fear. His voice is pleasant and perfectly normal, with a melodious Croatian accent.]
Hello everyone, this is Dr. Luka Kovač. If I haven't met you yet, I'm a doctor who specializes in emergency medicine.
Some things I still don't understand here, so maybe someone else might have some information or thoughts on it. I come from a world where you don't really see too much of the supernatural around, but here there are superpowers and superheros and terrifying things that happen all the time.
And I guess Avatars have the power to make those terrifying things happen, right? To feed the Entities? But what gives them that power?
I suppose what I was really wondering is that maybe some of the people we've encountered used to be good and then were corrupted, somehow. I'm a doctor, the first thing I look for is a way to treat the patient, maybe even so far as find a cure.
But is there a cure for an Avatar?

[He stops a moment before he gets too frustrated. He gets it, on one hand, but also it’s awful to think about—]
I’m a doctor. I do everything I can to save a patient.
[But he agrees with that.]
Exactly! Just think about all that knowledge about Entities and how Avatars work. Now it’s lost.
I mean corruption. It may feel like your choice—it may even be your choice, but it’s possible that exposure to the Entity erodes your will, erodes your morals.

[She doesn't understand, but she's past the point of demanding that people see things her way. At least he's not jumping down her throat like Keith and Ren did.]
The Avatars we don't attempt to reason with or get onside are just going to go seek someone who will shelter them, and foster them into getting worse. It's a vicious cycle. They compare it to addiction but this doesn't even work with addicts either.
Others have said the same. [She purses her lip.] I don't quite agree, honestly. I think the more contact you have with them, the better it feels to feed, and everything else feels comparatively so dull. Your morality isn't something that's inherent. It's not a limb, it can't be taken away like that. It's just a belief. If you lose faith in it, that's probably because an alternative popped up that you liked better.
