My dear Citizens of Hadriel,

I'm glad to see that our circumstances haven't prohibited you from forming bonds with each other. On the other hand, aren't those same bonds difficult to navigate at times? I'm not only speaking of romantic bonds, either. Sexual, familial, bonds of camaraderie...

And I've no doubt our predicament is a unique stressor that can strain those bonds as well. And so many of you are suffering in silence. And it isn't just the present bonds, either, is it? Many of you are shadowed by your pasts, as well.

I want to offer myself as a supportive shoulder. If you've been seeking a second opinion, or advice, or anything of the sort, please, consider this an open invitation.

I care not to find out about your secrets; if you'd prefer to speak privately or anonymously, I will not begrudge you, nor doubt the sincerity of your claim.

I only seek to provide succor to those who have been needing it. Love can be...rather difficult to talk about it, can't it?

Is this better?

[Ianchus isn't overly concerned with his 'secret identity', so speaking is no problem--he did it for the lad who couldn't read, he'll do it for this man.]

I prefer to stay anonymous as long as I can, but I suppose it's not the end of the world, if it means I can help.

[ Oh, that helps this part!!! DiMA switches over as well, considering how much to ask of this kind stranger. ]

This is far easier for me, yes. I'd also prefer to speak privately, if you're truly offering to listen to a troubled old synth... are these devices capable of both privacy and anonymity at once?

[ He also doesn't know... how to ask... for things for himself. It feels strange and he's not certain he likes it. ]

Hmmm.
Can you keep a secret?

Indeed I can, young man.
