"... It's way too much for a single person to go through."

[ Like, damn bro. For real. ]

"It has a strong grip on you. I think it was trying to attack me, but I couldn't tell if it was the bird thing or something else... Fairly possessive."

[vacuous]

[ ... ]

I meant... well, nevermind.

[ He decides not to ask. Hien already promised he wouldn't judge, and it should be gone now anyway. ]

Thanks.

[selfconcept]

[ Hopefully, Tokinaga will just take Hien's reaction at face value, because that's pretty much it, even if his expressions aren't there half the time.

So he just gives Tokinaga a hug. ]

[vacuous]

[ Oh? ]

Hien-k... Hien?

[selfconcept]

[ He briefly squeezes Tokinaga in the hug and sways him a little side to side. ]

"You're warm..."

[ So is Hien, but. ]

[vacuous]

[ This is



honestly just a tad embarrassing, because he doesn't think he's had this type of interaction since he was a kid, from his sisters, from his parents. It's awfully sweet. He wonders if he came off really so in need of comfort in the eyes of an eldritch being like Hien who's seen so much more and felt so much worse.

But he hugs back lightly to not leave Hien hanging, but also in gratitude. ]

So are you, you know.

[ looks at his emeto moment

Yeah?? He's not going to hold anyone to his own standards. That's crazy. ]

"I really admire your persistence and will."

[vacuous]

[ Yeah speaking of that sorry if he's a bit gross. He's probably clean he's done this too much but still, crying does a bitch in. ]

It's not much to praise. You have to keep going sometimes, so you do.

[selfconcept]

[ Tokinaga can be covered in the most disgusting substances in the world from head to toe and Hien would still hug him. ]

"I've seen too many people give up for less. Give yourself some credit."

[vacuous]

It's not like I don't think about it at all. Sometimes.

[selfconcept]

"Obviously, but you didn't. There's no way that you wouldn't have thought about it at least once. I think that makes you look even stronger."

[ He gently rubs Tokinaga's back. ]

[vacuous]

You don't need to praise me. You really don't. I spent enough time being the one running away.

I think it'll be easier now.

[selfconcept]

[ ://////

Hien just sighs and ruffles Tokinaga's hair. ]

"You'll always be supported by someone, one way or another. As long as you're here, many of us will help you out."

[ Just a little reminder. Tokinaga is free to go if he wants to. ]

[vacuous]

[ He won't just leave Hien alone after being done a favour maybe he can take you out for IHOP snackies and chill out. ]

[selfconcept]

[ hell yeah this is the real date ]

[vacuous]

[ YIPPEE ]
