Third ☂ Text

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.

[Yukari feels like he's being pinned in a corner and he doesn't like it. He could, could mention he has a lover. But, given that he's been recognised by his -chan suffix before, he's not about to admit that he has one openly. He stubbornly takes a moment to gather his thoughts before replying.]

So what if I don't? That doesn't make one's existence lonely.

It would be for me. To not have anyone around. Even if I enjoy killing and doing what I do in my world it would be for nothing if I didn't at least have someone around me that I enjoy having around because of their company. If I pushed everyone away because they simply judged me I would have this very problem.

I wouldn't call it that I push away, I just don't care. If people get close, that's up to them, but people don't generally like me. I'm just not bending over backwards to change that. I haven't found anyone worth changing for, if I ever ridiculously thought I should do so. [Namely that Curufin condones Yukari's behaviour. So that's not encouraging him to change any time soon.] I'm okay with being hated. You're just more apt to be social.

I guess what is keeping me up at night is that I do care in some way about this person even if I barely know them. The choices we make and the people we meet shape us. If I didn't care at all things would be far different.

Make no mistake. I doubt I'll change but I can suppress. To change completely would mean my entire drive would have to disappear all together and that isn't possible. Someone has tried in the past and from I was told it didn't end well.

But you're right. I am rather social. I've been made to be social. It is what I am.

So it's an act of nature versus nurture.

If you'll allow me to look at this another way, if you're trying so hard, why aren't they trying back? I may not be social, but even I know that any form of relationship is a two way street. There has to be a carrot, as well as a stick. Will you just keep trying no matter how bad it gets?

It's all fine if you try, but isn't there a point where it's just beating a dead horse?

Yes. The effort may not be worth it at times even when things like this are just optional but I rather like this person. I'm not going to let them go just yet. Not without trying all that I can.

Again, yes there is. Yet I haven't been told I can't pursue them so there is still an option of becoming friends.

Hmm. Sounds like he's rather lucky, then. I've found such devotion to be rare in all my years. Humanity tends to be fickle. I've seen people come and go over the smallest of things, so it's rather interesting to see anyone who strives to keep it.

Good luck in all of your dedication. Nothing is more beautiful than obtaining what you work so hard for.

I like to treat my friends well. Bitter arguments and fights won't stop something so easily. I enjoy their company.

Thank you.
