Manifest: A Shattered Future  Episode Ten – Phantom Pain (part 1)   “We think we should give a press release soon, but… it just seems so daunting! I hate to say it like this, since you guys know I don’t tolerate self-deprecation, but sometimes I feel like I don’t actually know how to do anything other than this,” Annabelle admitted to her friends. Ockham held Annabelle’s hand for support, but Silvia laughed and said, “I think it’s the same for me!
