I'm not saying this to Isabel because like hell I'm going to belittle her with something obvious, but I think this should be noted to those not picking up on it:

Touki and anyone is potentially feeding him that people are monsters, are playing a game of chicken and brinksmanship. Some of us are stronger, faster, smarter than normal humans, but smashing him up blindly just feeds his narrative and justifies what he's saying.

If he's killed or severely harmed by a spirit, that makes him a martyr and feeds the narrative.

So everyone, let's breathe.

And have a potato salad party. Or something.

Or aggressively shop.

Re: Private to Noriko

Before, I never stopped running. I was always running away from my fears in some way or another with dueling, fighting, throwing myself at bad guys. It was all just...using adrenaline to avoid dealing with it. And when it got to be too much, I ran away for real.

I'm trying. To just stay put, right now. But I'm still really scared.

Medically curious here.

Do you ever have anxiety attacks?

Nervous breakdowns?

Low self-esteem?

Do you feel inadequate, inferior, and want to avoid dealing with others despite wanting to be close to them?

Loss of interest? Feels of depression?

Feelings of suicide?

Intrusive thoughts? Flash backs? Vivid dreams related to past trauma and problems?

I'm mostly asking because considering the amount of crap you've gone through, you probably have developed some sort of anxiety disorder, depression, trauma or so such.

And considering you've been abused by your suicidal nihilistic manager, obviously mind raped by the original Da Eiza, what you did as the Black Rose Witch, and the Z-One incident.

You. Probably should talk to a psychologist.

Being terrified and anxious and scared shitless after all that is normal and I'd like to make sure you don't have another breakdown. Or try to manage it.

(Though going to the Naturia Forest obviously did you a world of good.)
