The transfer is never painful, between Gloria and I. But I know when it happens because I can feel myself being shoved into the back of my (her?) mind. All I can do then is sleep. Sleep until she has done her duty (if she has one.) Sleep until she becomes tired. Gloria never stays long. An hour at the most. My fear of losing ME in US tugs me back up to the surface.

Gloria is not evil. Though some might think she is. Gloria takes over when she sees I am too weak. Gloria lets me rest. She did not make me do things to myself, I did them. She was the voice telling me to stop. I was the voice saying do it. Gloria is a good (person?) entity. She is what I can rely on when I'm not strong enough to face anything.
