[You are greeted with the sound of randomly disrupted static, at the end of which three melodic beeping signals are heard. Yep, that's your cue to leave a message!]
[Good, he's out here unintentionally charming people three sentences into a convo. He takes the box with a smile before gesturing in the direction of the welcome room.]
That sounds lovely! Do come in, and we can share them. I would feel bad eating by myself, after all...
[Keeps Respectful Distance(TM) though....... Alas :( ]
Ah, I would be happy to show you around later, then. Maybe after we get our upgrades - we are planning to install some soon, and I think you would enjoy them.
That would be lovely. In that case, you should visit ours as well some time! There’s a room there that I’m particularly fond of that I’d love to show you.
I'm certain Hope would be... and there are certain things I would ask of her, I think.
[He smiles softly, taking a cream puff.]
But how are you faring? I do not know what the experience is like for those whose souls others wander into, but I know it can be hard on the wanderers themselves.
Oh? Well I’m sure that if she can she would do it gladly. But that’s true of most of our unit. If there’s ever anything you need please don’t hesitate to ask.
As for me... I am doing much better these days, thanks to everyone who helped me.
If these "heart games" do have a positive effect... I am glad. You're a good person, miss Serenity. You deserve to feel better.
[Oof, the topic of what he needs, though.]
...I... may have need of one of BAD END abilities. Are you familiar with Jason? He used to be on BAD END too, but now he's with us... He suggested it to me first, but I know little and less about how your abilities work.
[Oh no, that’s what she was worried about. WHO HURT THIS SWEET MAN??? How dare.
She nods.]
...mmm, we’re able to identify and manipulate dissonance... something troubling... in a person’s memory or perception—- whether that’s to block it out or change it in some way.
...I know it is difficult. I myself have had others offer to help me in that regard, because I’ve had specific traumatic experiences come up again here.
Know that... no matter how bad it is, you don’t have to face it alone here. And... if there’s something I can do to help, I would gladly, no questions asked.
...Thank you. It's simply just... the matter is very cruel and ugly. I would... fear for you, if you were to witness it... What good is me accepting help if it hurts you instead?
It's... definitely not a feeling I'd want to experience a third time.
I know I'd be able to overcome it now, but... well, I'm more useful to everyone else if I take care of myself too anyway.
The same goes for you. The idea of sharing something that was so hurtful to you can't be easy... but I'm sure there are a lot of people who are worried about you and want you to feel better. You'll have times when you'll have the opportunity to support others in the future too. But you can only do that if you take care of yourself first.
[Third time? What the fuck. Levity looks down at the floor, processing both that information and the thought of... well, letting Serenity witness the No Good Very Bad thing.]
I... I do want to get better. I haven't been able to sleep, and I keep...
[He trails off, staring at nothing for a few moments, then seems to wake up again.]
Just... p-please promise you won't think less of me.

But she takes the invitation, following his motion to the welcome room.]
Well that I can do. I brought tea too.
Re: day 328
Have you been to our dorm before?
Re: day 328
No, this is my first time, actually.

Re: day 328
[Although... if it’s a skill of theirs that he needs... hmm.]
Fortunately I have them all now, so... maybe I can help? If you can tell me what you’re looking for, I should be able to tell you if it’s possible.
Re: day 328
I... He told me one of your abilities allows you to change memories. Is that true?
Re: day 328
She nods.]
...mmm, we’re able to identify and manipulate dissonance... something troubling... in a person’s memory or perception—- whether that’s to block it out or change it in some way.
Re: day 328
Is it possible to--change the way something made one feel?
Re: day 328
Re: day 328
And... if you are to use this ability, you need to witness the memory itself?
Re: day 328
Re: day 328
...Oh. I will... think on it then. It is not something I wish to expose others to...

Re: day 328
There's a big difference between enduring something and seeing a glimpse of it.
As long as it's not being buried alive, I'll be fine.
I THOUGHT I REPLIED TO THIS
...Oh. I'm... I'm so sorry. That sounds horrible.
