The Church of the Cleansing Soul brought to life a child, meant to be bear the weight of the world's pain to offer purifying of the mind and soul for any who stepped into the cleansing fire the child emerged from. As it turns out, a child's mind cannot hold the horror of eternity without venting that horror like a pressure pot waiting to explode.

They did not provide a big enough pressure valve. And they suffered for it.

Now, the Weeping Soul shares this agony with others, trying to find catharsis in seeing others burdened with their pain - not out of malice, but necessity and tantrum rage. It simply isn't FAIR.

In the tapestry of Alice's extraordinary abilities, her power to invade minds and evoke profound trauma weaves a thread of dark enchantment. Rooted in the whimsical yet unsettling realm of "Alice in Wonderland," this Gift transcends mere fantasy, delving deep into the metaphysical underpinnings of consciousness and fear.

At its core lies a duality akin to the looking glass itself—a reflection of both wonder and terror. Alice, a paradoxical figure of innocence and manipulation, harnesses this power with a grace that belies its chilling implications. Her ability to traverse the boundaries of sanity and perception speaks to an intimate understanding of the human psyche's fragile architecture.

Metaphysically, this Gift taps into the uncharted territories of psychic intrusion, where reality bends at the whim of a singular will. It hints at a realm where dreams and nightmares converge, where memories bleed into manifestations of dread. Alice, as the wielder, becomes a conduit between the tangible and the intangible, navigating through mental landscapes fraught with symbolism and subconscious echoes.

The origins of such a power are shrouded in mystery, perhaps stemming from the peculiar alchemy of Wonderland itself—a place where logic twists into riddles and reality fades into whimsy. It mirrors the transformative journey of Alice, from a curious child exploring a fantastical realm to a spectral presence capable of haunting minds.

In essence, this Gift embodies the timeless allure of darkness within enchantment, where innocence and malevolence dance in an eternal waltz. It invites contemplation on the depths of human fear and the fragility of perception, urging us to confront the shadows that lurk beneath our conscious selves. Alice's power is not just a narrative device but a philosophical exploration—a haunting reminder that even in wonderlands, there are depths where fears take shape and nightmares come alive.
