[ a beat, then a nod ]

I haven't... gone through that myself, but it doesn't seem like it's easy when something goes wrong in your family. But I do understand wanting to help when you see someone in trouble, especially when it's those you love.

[holyspirits]

It wasn't all selfless. I wanted things to be able to go back to the way they were, but that was never going to happen.

[cupidsammo]

... Yeah. I think everyone feels that way at some point, though.

[holyspirits]

Have you?

[cupidsammo]

I do lately, sometimes.

[holyspirits]

[ well she did die... ]

Anything you want to talk about? Or we can change the subject.

[cupidsammo]

Oh. I don't really need to—I mean, I'm okay. It's just something I think about, that's all.

[holyspirits]

Like you said, most people do. Sometimes it helps to talk about the changes. Sometimes you just need to stand beside someone and let them deal with them.

[cupidsammo]

[ well they're not wrong, but, ]

Mm... But really, I'm all right. You don't need to worry about me.

[holyspirits]

It's sort of my job?

[ they say this lightly like they don't mind, though ]

[cupidsammo]

[ no one (that wasn't aki) has ever pressed her like this before..... what does she do............. ]







It's okay.

[holyspirits]

I can't tell if you want me to drop it or if no one's ever tried to get an answer out of you before that wasn't "I'm fine".

[cupidsammo]

[ help ]

But we've only just met, so it'd be super rude of me to start spilling things like that on you!

[holyspirits]

It's part of the job description to listen to your problems, you know.

[cupidsammo]

That sounds like a lot to take on...
