Not at all. The syndrome basically causes you to become extremely paranoid. The hallucinations start small but may grow to alter reality completely, but from the very beginning they feed paranoia. Like... Hearing an extra set of footsteps right behind you, like someone following you and taking an extra step when you stop, constantly, even in places where footsteps shouldn't be heard, not even your own. And the feeling of having someone watching you the whole time, right behind you, menacingly...
As the syndrome gets on higher levels... You can get to see someone where there's no one at all. The hallucinations even go to make a mere pen appear as a dangerous syringe full of poison... Even what people say gets altered, the tone, their expressions, everything until you feel you can't trust even yourself. That everyone is against you, out for you.
[He takes a deep breath, that world is one he remembers the most clearly. Specially the emotions he felt, and how his eyes deceived him. How he saw Rena's smile turn crazy, or talked to thin air thinking a psycho Rena was there...]
But this time, it didn't make me paranoid or anything. It didn't even scare me, on the contrary, it was nostalgic and peaceful...
