// hi. what should management do about the simulation? [ this WILL affect the future... or not! ]

@TRUTHANDJUST1CE We can discuss the latter after you feel better , I prepared a couple of flasks with water and soup . [ They gestured , ]

@TRUTHANDJUST1CE Okay , then I'll trust you to not run off . I trust you to calm down , and ... [ Carefully they unwrapped — ( it's going to take a whole good bit to untie the Guard ) — them, an obvious sign of high expectation and respect for them. ] And trust me too. +

@TRUTHANDJUST1CE [ No seriously , as poor and done this bait is , it was still somewhat of a truth they made to lead them to Medbay . That being trails, trails of precious coffee beans delectably left to reach Medbay . ] +

@TRUTHANDJUST1CE Will you trust me , even for this day ?

@TRUTHANDJUST1CE I swear to you , in the name of Truth and Justice , [ They pressed their hand on their cheek, the touch feeling like the warmth of home. ] There is no pity, but the empathy I feel of your situation. And even if it varies , I know the taste of despair . So please , +

@_coralishdoctor // can you lock in

//not now sweetie doc's gotta play deltarune chapter 5

@HelpfulMatey ... So be it , Matey .

@gold__memory [VIRUS.THREAT: DETECTED ?]

Oh no.

@TRUTHANDJUST1CE I care , not because this is my job and that I'm supposed to do this. I care because ... [ Gods, what can they say? For how familiar this pit of despair was . It might as well be /them/. ] Because, crewmates suffer alone, and I don't want you to share this fate like the rest .

@TRUTHANDJUST1CE But Guard, it isn't mentally nor physically possible for you to create this distance before the crewmates you care for . [ That empathetic expression that they shared with the rest — an expression distant from what pity looked like for the Guard. ] +

@HelpfulMatey A grave mistake in your part , Matey .

@gold__memory You . . . You will be dealt with soon .

@TRUTHANDJUST1CE Who wanted to bring Justice . Who wanted to bring Truth . For those who had fallen .... But , they can't do it alone . We can't do it alone , can we ?

@TRUTHANDJUST1CE But , [ Quickly , they lifted themselves up again facing them from visor to visor. ] You , [ No. ] We , We can't give up , we can't let ourselves sink with the ship , let addiction consume us , feeding into our powerlessness ... Justice ... I rrmember someone +

@TRUTHANDJUST1CE to keep yourself alive in this ship with the struggles you faced throughout your life , even if I don't know myself . It's your choice to open up .

@TRUTHANDJUST1CE [ They lifted up a hand, gently so , swiping a tear off their visor . Once full of justice , but what could push them to their limit ? ] [ Therapist chose their words carefully . ] But just so you know , I think that you're strong , very . Very strong . That you've managed +

@I_like_axolotls perchance , perchance, but how could i ? perhaps excessing out anger is the greatest form of relief . that is , if it is not targetted !
