"I'm not worried about him yelling at me. He can yell at me all he wants... I'm just more worried about his mental state."

[ Mister empathy.... tokinaga must be protected. ]

[voring]

[He is too good for this world... HE IS GENUINELY TOO GOOD.]

Yelling at you would probably make it worse. Any time I've seen him do something like that, he makes a face after like he wants to go curl up under a rock and die.

[selfconcept]

"It makes a lot more sense now about how he reacted when I ate the keys..."

[ Because his best friend was in there!! Or something!! Secret third thing.</small? ] "Empathy is great, but too much is..."

[voring]

Oh, yeah. He probably didn't know what to do. His face was pretty funny!

[JUST GOING INTO SHOCK. He loves Tokinaga's fucking expressions my god. There's a curious little cant of his head at that, though.]

Too much is what?

[selfconcept]

"It burns you down fast."

[ my HTML!!!! ]

"You really are that kind of friend..."

[voring]

[me looking at it being dead and cruelly tagging you back anyway

Anyway, he frowns a little at the first statement but he's also DISTRACTED BY THE SECOND.]

What kind of friend?

[selfconcept]

"The kind of friend that's annoying so you'd be gruff about it, but when they're gone, you can feel the emptiness very clearly and miss them."

[voring]

[THE ENERGY OF JUST (POINTS AT SELF) MOI? Dahut's spirit is in here.]

You think? Mostly I just take his soy sauce.

[selfconcept]

[ dahut just going peekaboo ]

"That's not what he told me... and I doubt he was lying."

[ You take his exasperation and eat it. ]

[voring]

[LE BAGUETTE HON HON oh my god im finally not fantasy french (ignores scaramouche)

He is a depression-eater despite also having depression.]

What'd he tell you?

[selfconcept]

[ grabs that grape and eats him ]

"Ask him yourself. I'm not gonna tell you."

[ He says this despite being fully aware that Tokinaga might not tell Obikawa. ]

[voring]

[as is deserved]

Fine, fineee, if you're gonna make things a pain for me.

[There is a very high chance he's just gonna fuckin forget about this in all of the chaos that follows. But also:] Feels like there's a door there now that wasn't there before.

[The adhd of looping back around to a conversation point from a million years ago.]

[selfconcept]

"What door?"

[ The conversation point that Hien fuckin forgot. He can't even use Memory's powers as a memory aide because THEY'RE GONE. ]

[voring]

[CAN YOU STOP SHEDDING PIECES OF YOURSELF.]

Inside. [Tapping the side of his head. There's a little beat, and then:]

Before the cage, I spent an entire week in a hallway. It had more doors than there are in an entire world! And I walked into a lot of them, every hour for every day I was there, and found all kinds of different places on the other side with the same people. It feels kind of like that.

[selfconcept]

[ That is what Self does.................. or no, it's just me. i am the problem. taps my discord role name ]

"So kinda like... alternate universes?"

[ If it is, then that's easy for Hien to understand. That's his entire thing. ]

[voring]

[me going to look at it to see what yaywon assigned you and nodding]

Like that, but smaller! Less, I think. [Only him instead of entire WORLDS and DOORS and BILLIONS EVERYTHING WILD OUT THERE.]

[selfconcept]

"Oh, like highlighting important scenarios?"

[ AU where Obikawa chose not to eat Fia... ]

[voring]

[AU WHERE HE JUST BIT HER LIKE HE WANTED TO INSTEAD OF ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWING HER.]

A little, yeah! [i have no idea how this power he fucking absorbed from hien works but that's okay because his ass doesn't either.] Maybe it's from the river.

[selfconcept]

[ Obikawa is just aware of his AU selves more! Yippee! The AU where he was never "Obikawa" is one. I hope he has fun with that. All these possibilities... ]

"The river?"

[ .............................................................

Hien's single brain cell finally gets to work-- ]

"... Oh, you have..."

[ He can't bring himself to finish that sentence and just covers his eyes with his arm. He's so done with today. ]

[voring]

[HE'S GOING TO LEARN SO MUCH ABOUT HIMSELF...

But he's also just sort of blinking at that, watching as Hien just dies about things all over again.]

You're really going through it all the time, huh.

[selfconcept]

[ ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

When Obikawa says that, Hien just lies down on his side. Maybe if he decides to drown in the river, the Oblivion can take him. ]

[voring]

[WHAPS HIS SHOULDER.]

You got a gloomy sort of look when you do that!

[selfconcept]

[ man, shut yo ass up

... is what Hien would have said, but he just grumbles when his shoulder is whapped. ]

"Unfortunately, I'm a gloomy guy."

[voring]

You should get some pizza!

[Who doesn't pizza fix... But also, since he's reached status of eldritch curiosity, with a little cant of his head:] What's your name?

[selfconcept]

"Hien."

[ Just that. Don't add his last name. Don't call him anything else, but he doesn't mind insults because they'll just roll off. Mostly. ]

"You like pizza?"
