Don't blame yourself.

[a_gentle_boy]

...Everyone's been saying so, but. Well. Someone has to be blamed, right?

[doudemoe]

Not always.

[Even if Mayfield brought them over, Minato eating them was his own choice.]

What do you have?

[a_gentle_boy]

It's... a bit like the opposite of the mushrooms. To make you feel... confident. Stronger. To build up your courage and your heart.

[doudemoe]

[So...it's more drugs. :| But good ones.]

Doesn't sound so bad.

[a_gentle_boy]

It shouldn't be. It made me feel a lot better when I was worried.

[doudemoe]

Ah...

[And because he's concerned.] But not too much, right?

[a_gentle_boy]

What do you mean?

[doudemoe]

Overdosing.

['Cause you shouldn't do drugs, kid. Didn't you pay attention to the 90s commercials?]

[a_gentle_boy]

[He's only vaguely familiar with the concept, drugs not really existing where he came from.]

Oh.

That shouldn't be a problem. This isn't... It's not like that, I don't think.

[doudemoe]

Hmmm...I'll stop by.

[Since now his curiosity is peaked.]

[a_gentle_boy]

Please do. There should be plenty for everyone.

[doudemoe]

Okay. See you soon.

[He hangs up. Eventually, he'll come by.]

[a_gentle_boy]

[And Lucas will be on the front porch, his head leaning against the wall. He'll rouse himself as Minato approaches, though, and gives a small wave.]
