Third ☂ Text

[thirdreturned]

Many of you seem to be unhappy.

We don't all necessarily want you to be happy, but acceptance and adaptation to your situation would be a start. The only question that remains is: how?

It is clear to us that your species resolves many issues through communication. Unfortunately, none of us understand the human psyche as clearly as others of your species, and so I leave it to you to communicate with and to help one another.

You may consider this post an open forum in which you can discuss what's been bothering you. In turn, I will conceal your identities, so that you may help one another without preconceived biases. If you'd like to reveal yourselves to one another, the option is there, but unnecessary.

Heal. Recover.

I'll leave you to it.

I think they want to kill themself.

Can someone help them?

[anon]

[somuchlove]

[What.]

How do you know this?

[anon]

[skelebro]

It's pretty obvious if you know what to look for.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

I do not.

What is there to look for?

[It's a lie, they know exactly what to look for. There's another reason behind these questions.]

[anon]

[skelebro]

Just keep an eye out for them and you'll see what I mean.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

I will try.

Do you think they have the means?

[anon]

[skelebro]

Yes.

[anon]

[somuchlove]

I will keep a close eye on them then.

Thank you for telling us this.

[anon]

[skelebro]

As long as it helps.

[anon]

[alltozero]

What...?

But they have so many people who really care about them. So many people who want to help them! How can we help them?

[anon]

[skelebro]

Help them know they matter.

That they're not just any other kid.

I don't know.



I just don't want them to leave

[anon]

[alltozero]

What do I do if I can't even tell them they matter right? The person who's definitely not Alphys already told me I'm just making it worse.

I'm scared that I can't do anything for them without hurting them more than I already have. I'm scared that nobody can handle being hurt that much that often.

[anon]

[skelebro]

Believe me, I know. I don't think anything I've done has helped. I've just pushed them away more and more and I can't fix it

[anon]

[alltozero]

They deserve so much better than what they got stuck with. It's not fair, is it?

Is life really just that unfair...?

[anon]

[skelebro]

They came away from their home thinking they weren't wanted.

I don't know how to fix it.

[anon]

[alltozero]

[Is this... someone else who knows more about why they climbed the mountain than he does?

He really was a bad friend. Just asking, without insisting they answer. Just asking, then mentioning Chara's unhappy reason like it's part of the reason they weren't the greatest.]

...I don't know, either.

I'd settle for making it just a little bit more okay, sometimes. Making it more bearable.

[He'd made it more bearable for Chara, once upon a time, even if there were still times when they couldn't trust his promises that they belonged, that they weren't a burden, that they really were part of the family.]

Even just a little bit, I want to make it hurt less for once.

[anon]

[skelebro]

That's about all I can think of to do for them.

No matter how many times someone tells them they're worth something, seems like they find a reason not to believe a word of it.

Feels like there's no way out.

[It takes them a really long time to respond, to this one. When they see it, something in their chest- caves in. It feels slightly sickly, uncomfortable.

Panic, maybe?]

That's not how it works. You can't just help people not want to die.

[anon]

[skelebro]

Then someone should figure out how.

[anon] cw: encouraging suicide?

[save_theworld]

Maybe you should just let them do it.

[anon]

[skelebro]

No.

Never.

[anon]

[save_theworld]

Why not?

[anon]

[skelebro]

Because they don't deserve it.

[anon]

[save_theworld]

They do.

[anon]

[skelebro]

No, actually.

And I think we both know that.

Kiddo.
