[vacuous]

I just heard from Yosuke-kun about what happened.
Are you okay?

[selfconcept]

im fine
im used to dying but i know everyone else isnt
and witnessing the horrors
so im giving people space
what about you
i heard you were also one of the returnees

[vacuous]

I'm sorry I wasn't able to help.
I came out almost unconscious I think.
Someone put me in the river though and my injuries have mostly healed. I guess it works just as advertised, huh?

[selfconcept]

its fine tokinaga
im glad i didnt even have a chance to eat you
the river is potent but it takes something from you in exchange...
i wonder what you lost

[vacuous]

That's not the most cheerful response I've ever gotten but I'll take it.
How many times have you been in the river already?

[selfconcept]

you know me
im not very cheerful
once when lemuen ran me over
twice when i got eaten
thrice when i got back from the "expedition"

[vacuous]

That's too many times.

[selfconcept]

comparatively speaking
its a lot less than i thought

[vacuous]

Comparatively doesn't make something like that better.

[selfconcept]

i think it does personally
but i get what you mean
i wouldnt have such a hard time if i could just regenerate

[vacuous]

That's not something you can do?

[selfconcept]

i usually can
but i cant here

[vacuous]

It's like Yosuke-kun then.
Apparently he should be able to heal, but can't really here.

[selfconcept]

yeah
i can "heal" too but
i need a lot of practice with it
so i'm a little glad that i cant use that ability here

[vacuous]

Why is that in quotation marks?

[selfconcept]

because theres a difference between healing and infusing life into people

[vacuous]

I don't know what that means.
Is that revival?

[selfconcept]

it can be
but youve heard of expressions where people say things like
"the room is really lively because of all the bright colors"
i can make them suddenly become ~*~full of life and energy~*~
its really vague but im also bad at it so it doesnt matter
anyway how are you holding up
you said injuries were healed but what about mentally

[vacuous]

So like a dopamine rush?

I'm shaken, although I don't think that's unexpected. I'll be alright after some rest.

[selfconcept]

yeah
and good
i'll hold you to that
also just checking in
did anything weird happen after our session

[vacuous]

Nothing weird has happened.
Thank you, by the way.
I think I would've been a lot worse off without your help.

[selfconcept]

im always here to help
٩(^ᗜ^ )و

[vacuous]

Cute. I didn't take you for a kaomoji user.
If there's anything you'd like in return, please let me know. Seriously.

[selfconcept]

i use it sometimes
and i just want to see people being happy
because its hard to see any of that nowadays
thats the best way to repay me for anything
because it means a lot more to me than anything else

[vacuous]

[ Happy is a hard bar... ]

I'm resting for now but do you want to do something later then?
