[ she isn't expecting a smile, not from daan.

it's not as if i expect you to bare your heart. i only want a little honesty. ]

I don't know what you want to convince me of.

[recession]

You doubted me when I said I was fine.

[ Therefore. ]

[sonorant]

I believe I have reason to doubt. You came back in a state.

[ ergo. ]

[recession]

Physical wounds heal.

[ It's not worth anything. ]

You can tell me where I come off as concerning. I'll do what I can to change it.

[sonorant]

... I'm sorry. That's not... That's not how I meant it.

[ she closes her eyes. what do you think is worth it? ]

I don't need you to change. Physical wounds heal, but what else...? What else needs to heal?

[recession]

[ He tilts his head just a little bit, looking at her. ]

What do you see that needs healing?

[sonorant]

... Everyone here needs some kind of healing.

[recession]

Sure, but if you don't know what's the problem, then you can hardly figure out the cure, can you?

[sonorant]

Do you know what the problem is?

[recession]

Theories.

Ideas.

Suspicions.

[sonorant]

[ she tilts her head. i typoed an s and almost gave robin extra heads ]

That's a little vague and broad.

[recession]

[ Your multiple heads!!! ]

It's hard to draw it down to one specific cause when it feels like your entire life's been a constant curse, doesn't it?

[sonorant]

[ no, that helps a lot actually. it makes things slot into place. ]

And you don't think it's a curse that can be broken.

[recession]

Maybe it's a bit of an overdramatic way to put it. Cursed has the implication of someone casting it on me with malicious intentions.

No, they only ever loved me.

[sonorant]

[ it is a bit dramatic.... those are my, ara's, thoughts.... but we love dramatic and tired souls in this house.

robin is thoughtful and saddened. ]

Not all love is kind, and not all love helps. Suffering has a way of finding those who don't deserve it, but you needn't suffer alone.

[recession]

[ And drag another person down?
We wouldn't want that now, would we? Consent is important. ]

No, it's not. But regardless, while you are so sweet, Miss Robin... some things are just too past.

[sonorant]

[ what....? what is happening? what kind of effect did she just unlock? she folds her hands in front of her. ]

I understand you would like to rebuff help, but please accept my company, at the very least. If you don't want to provide any details, I'd at least like to stay until we are forced to unconsciousness.

[recession]

...

I don't think you could leave even if you wanted to, could you?

[ Bird in a cage with a cat. This could have played out differently on another day. ]

I don't really mind. You've been consistently pleasant.

[sonorant]

[ a cat...? ]

I can't leave the cabin, but I could give you more space.

[ i have been caged with worse. ]

But if you are all right with me, I will stay. I'll be here, as long as I can.

[recession]

I did say I didn't mind.

[ Closing his eye, tired. ]

Well... at least you're not alone.

[sonorant]

[ ... ]

... if I weren't here, would you be left alone in your thoughts?

[recession]

Wouldn't we all?

If nothing else, you typically have yourself.

[sonorant]

Today, especially, your thoughts seem a bit different. A bit more separate than usual.

That's not how it usually is, is it?

[recession]

...?

I feel... well, it's not exactly the same as I always do, but emotions fluctuate. But I don't feel so different.

[sonorant]

... I won't skirt around it. Your thoughts almost seem like separate people, the ones that filter through because of the week.

If you don't notice it...

[ i'm not sure how much i should worry. ]
