After the unusual ordeal between Luna and Kieran, the party's atmosphere became quite strained, but not for the reasons one may think. Rather than resenting Kieran, Luna felt ashamed of herself since she had shown an unsightly weakness to others. However, the touch of a man had triggered some repressed resentments that she tried to sever from herself.
Sadly, one couldn't sever themselves from their subconscious, at least not at this level. That was a practice of mental prowess not exhibited by humans. Even in Kieran's past, he found it difficult to separate himself from subconscious actions. Naturally, this meant he was never in complete control of himself.
Complete control also included control of the subconscious, as that was just another part of an individual that truly defined them. Certain stimuli could trigger the subconscious in the most severe of situations, leading to the emergence of an individual's most primal form.
