✯ Third Session ✯ [Voice]

[The ordeal is finally over. Thank goodness too. But...Paprika knows well enough that trauma has a longer lasting effect. Being reminded of that trauma does not make it better. So she's going to address the public. Her tone is incredibly somber, a far cry from the usual cheeriness she expresses.]

tl;dr about talking out your problems and all that other psychological good stuff from your local dream therapist. )

That's...very kind of you to offer. Talking really does help in these cases.

I'm glad some people understand that. It isn't easy to get use to the idea of opening up.

Oh it certainly isn't, it's probably one of the hardest things anyone will ever have to do in their life, I'd imagine. Admitting to people your faults and past actions definately takes time.

It definitely does. I don't expect a lot of people to be open to the idea, but I really hope they at least consider it.

Were it another time I would definately be one of those people. But...I know now that keeping those feelings and thoughts to yourself will bring nothing but unneeded pain, and agony.

I'm glad you came to that realization. It's a good step in the right direction.

Ah! I'm glad to hear that from a professional. [ Because in all honesty he's never gone to anyone about his problems. ]

I think anyone could tell you that, professional or not. Going to therapy is nothing to be ashamed of and it certainly doesn't make you crazy.

But what if...the things we've done make us feel that way? I suppose it would affect our overall thoughts on it in general.

Of course the things we do in retrospect seem rather odd or make you feel different from when you thought about it prospectively. But regret is natural.

O-Of course, of course. We all regret doing things. I just wish--they wouldn't of reminded of us them last week. It was hard enough the first time. Ah I thought they might of actually been...real. Almost like a waking dream I suppose.

It is tough being reminded of them. Like a surprise 'face your fears' challenge. But, they aren't real. Not anymore. Past is the past.

Yes, yes you're right. I'll just have to remember that for next time. Still in this place you can't be too sure what's real and what isn't, I guess that's why--why it affected me so much. And now I know if I had to face her alive...I don't think I could. Which is why I feel so ashamed of evening saying that. [ He gives a small laugh. ]

I suppose that makes me a coward.

You're not a coward. Admitting that alone makes you brave.

Luceti is a very surreal place. Last week was difficult to distinguish reality from not, but if you can come to terms with it now then you should try to slowly let it go again. None of it is real and the past week won't change that.

[ There's a small chuckle from him. ] Ah, th-thank you miss.

Yes you're right--to let it go again. [ His voice sounds absentminded like he's not fully focused for a second. ] Nothing in the past will change despite as much as we want it to. [ A small sigh. ]

It's a hard process, but if you did it once you can do it again.
