Well, um. When Marcoh and I went out looking around the other day, we found some things... One of them could make someone hate something? And we thought, we can make them hate breaking things so they might finally stop!

... But then it turned to that...

[holyspirits]

[ they are simply staring... ]

I wasn't sure if that was normal behavior for them or not. But if that's true... [ wild. ] Where did you find these things?

[cupidsammo]

[ internally going aaaaa ]

In was in the arcade.

[holyspirits]

Do they know it may have been you guys?

[cupidsammo]

...... No...

S- should I say something...?!

[holyspirits]

[ they open their mouth, and then they pause. not that koharu can see it, but the vibe is there. ]

I think that's up to you. Do you feel all that bad for doing it?

[cupidsammo]

Well. Um. If it weren't for the fight that broke out, it would have been okay. But it did and I talked to– [ wait what the fuck is his name anyway ] –errr that... one guy... and he seemed really miserable afterwards, so actually I do feel super bad.....

[holyspirits]

That... one guy. [ it takes a few moments, but it does click. ] The one prone to throwing tantrums. I always thought him acting out was a cover for misery, but pointing it out to those kinds of people never works well.

[ anyway. ]

... I don't know if telling him you were responsible would actually make him any happier. But there are other ways to apologize without using words.

[cupidsammo]

Maybe so... I'll have to think of something that might work.

[holyspirits]

How do you usually apologize to someone you've wronged? Is it always verbally?

[ koharu, are you one of those sincere types... ]

[cupidsammo]

Well...





Yes?

[holyspirits]

[ oh boy. ]

Koharu... maybe that should be another thing we work on while you're here. It might help.

[cupidsammo]

[ ?! ]

Isn't that the best way to say you're sorry?

[holyspirits]

It's the most upfront, but there are plenty of situations where people won't hear the words, nor will they want to. How do you apologize then?

[cupidsammo]

I—don't know? I don't think I've really gotten into that bad of an argument with someone.

[holyspirits]

[ oh. that actually makes sense and it gives them pause. ]

... well. I hope that continues to be the case, actually.

[cupidsammo]

Maybe. I'm no good at confrontation.

[holyspirits]

Not everyone is. I might be a little too good at them... I guess I have to remember it isn't for everyone.

[cupidsammo]

I could stand to do better at them, though.

[holyspirits]

[ well. they agree because they're confrontational, as stated, but. ]

One step at a time. I don't think anyone would expect you to jump into it immediately. But I do think it's worth it if only for yourself. I would hate to see someone treat you badly and think they could get away with it.

[cupidsammo]

Hah... I've been told that before. There was always someone there standing up for me, instead.

[holyspirits]

[ hm... ]

A friend of yours?

[cupidsammo]

That's right. She knew I'm kind of a pushover, so...

[holyspirits]

How long were you guys friends?

[cupidsammo]

Since we were really little—way back to elementary school.
