[ Hello, Promenade. This is a short video, but you might notice the heavy bandaging along the right shoulder peeking out from behind Ichigo's hoodie. He's a little worse for wear after the madness of the past week, but then again, who isn't?
Actually, truth be told; he looks pissed. ]Yeah. So, here's the deal; I'm damn tired of hearing how "oh so

And telling us how to feel is okay then?

Not telling you how to feel. Telling you that being eaten up with guilt helps NOTHING.

[lunardancing]

That's what it sounds like you're doing.

And maybe it doesn't, but that still doesn't make dealing with it any easier.

[savior_n_black]

I get feeling bad about it, but getting stuck in guilt makes you stop going forward.
And ASKING people to hurt you to make up for something is dumber, still.

Deal with it by being a good person. Say you're sorry, sure, but don't wallow.

Asking to get hurt won't do any good for anyone, I understand that, but...

Maybe it's just me, but I can't move on that easily.

Then is it better to sit down, and just give up?

We don't have the luxury of wasting time on guilt, here. At least I don't.

[lunardancing]

No, but it's better to take however long someone needs to deal with it then to push them into getting over it.

Then you're lucky.

[savior_n_black]

If it's self-destructive, you're damn right I'm gonna push them to get over it. Preferably without hurting themselves.

And I'm not lucky. If I were lucky, I wouldn't be here, stuck, when people are counting on me back home.

Pushing people into something they aren't ready for isn't going to help them.

You might not think you're lucky, but you're alive and healthy and better off than you could be.

[savior_n_black]

It might stop them from hurting themselves, though.

text;

[lunardancing]

Or it'll make them feel worse for not dealing with it 'right'.

[savior_n_black]

That's dumb! There is no "right", there's just a big difference between feeling bad about something, and feeling bad enough to let other people HURT you because you think you deserve it!

Damnitt, what is with you people? Everyone is acting like I'm some sort of bastard for not wanting people to feel guilty!

[lunardancing]

[ she turns on her voice function, and she sounds pissed. ]

And after what happened, we've got a right to feel guilty! It might not have been us, but it was our hands and our bodies that did everything and killed people!

voice;

[savior_n_black]

Fine! Whatever!

Then how about this; ever occur to you that it's an awfully damned widespread problem? Being attacked, or possessed, it was an awful lot of people that got hurt! I have trouble believing that this was some sort of isolated accident, how about you?

voice;

[lunardancing]

I never said it was isolated.

For you, being upset over it as much as some of us are might not do any good, but we aren't you!

voice;

[savior_n_black]

And like I said; I'm saying this because letting people hurt you because you're guilty is not right!

In fact, I also said that I get it if people are still upset, but withdrawing, and going silent, and feeling sorry for yourself is a really bad idea!
People have gone missing recently, there's no telling when some kind of organized awful will happen again! You can't shut down every time a crisis passes! At least, not here.
