No? If I can't reason with them, then I'm not going to throw my life away. And I think all I'd feel is disappointment, honestly. I think this is more about... purpose. And theirs is self sacrifice for whatever good there is at the time, and there's nothing wrong with that when it's just them. You can't expect everybody to throw themselves on the proverbial blade. Like you, for instance, you have to reunite with your sister back home, so what is dying and getting corrupted going to do, ..? Nothing.
...that's the nature of this place and it sucks. You can't win. You can only find ways to cope with the bullshit you'll inevitably face. It's either you dying and them feeling bad or them dying and you feeling bad.
…that’s not true. Maybe they’ll come around, or play a bit safer during certain games when their lives aren’t the only ones on the line. Heart has been trying more, yeah, so it’s not a hopeless situation.
It seems like it... but fair isn't the right word. The games are made to force hard decisions and usually only a small handful of people can win by design.
You bet. My door's always open if you need a place and don't know where to go. Sorry for kitnapping you in the first place. [ kit because you are a fox. ]
Honesty about the realities is needed. I don't need to be told it's okay or not my fault or whatever. I don't need snuggles and cuddles and stuff. [ not that he doesn't like them. but he doesn't need them, and they won't help survive the next game. ]
Yeah, I believe it... but I'm not sure I'm ready for it, I don't think. Maybe soon.
Affection is great, everyone in HSS is cozy with each other, but when it's affection in response to things like dying in a game... I don't feel anything. It seems better or on others for now.
[ Fire silent and send like that's the end of it, but Aether sits up suddenly on the bed now. ] Actually, I'm going to go out, I don't think I can just relax here right now, and I don't want to be uptight around the others in the soft room.
[ Putting his socks and shoes back on. ] Need anything while I'm out?
[ shrugs. ] I'm just waiting for Xiansheng to stop coddling everybody so we can go to bed, so in the meantime I'm free as a bird. [ he'll change into a fox and climb onto aether's shoulder. ]

Re: day 400, late evening
[ He doesn't like it any better, though. ] So I can't do anything for them.

Re: day 400, late evening
Hah. I wouldn't knock *all* the affection... because sometimes it can be better than a bandaid.

It'll hit eventually, I guess.

How about we go get the tiny dot ice cream treats? They look fun.
