[Through the weeks Paprika has been noticing more people coming through, signalling another cycle. It seems that most of the arrivals have already come and still no Atsuko. Well, that's probably for the best anyway. She can't say she would be happy to see the woman stuck here. For some reason she's been thinking about it. Probably because of the

"Dream therapy"? Does that mean you help people when they have problems with their dreams?

[voice]

[byakkoyagirl]

Basically yes. Dreams are doors into the mind. They can be very perplexing, but can show tell-tale signs of a person's inner thoughts.

[voice]

[realityanchor]

Really? I always thought they were kind of random. I always get the stuff like walking around on one day, then some crazy adventure the next.

[voice]

[byakkoyagirl]

Oh, they are random, but normally for a reason. If everything was so clear-cut, we wouldn't be such complicated beings.

Thank you for such a kind offer. I don't have experience with mental health treatment, but as a medical doctor, I'll be sure to recommend you to any patients with symptoms related to stress and the like.

[Voice]

[byakkoyagirl]

Thanks, I appreciate it! I'm not sure how many other therapists there are in Luceti right now, but if I find out there's another one I'll make sure to tell you about them as well.

Thank you very much. [Professionals have to stick together. Or something.]

I know I shouldn't ask details, because of confidentiality, and I won't; but have many people come to you so far?

[Voice]

[byakkoyagirl]

Some people have asked me for some help before this. I'm not going to specify who, but some people know about it. I just wanted to get this out so others know too.

[Blah, blah, blah. Lots of complicated stuff being said here. Goku sticks to a few things.]

Why would anyone not want to be here? I don't understand, this place is great and you get to see people who you would have never seen again!

Your name's funny, mine's Goku! Nice to meet you!

[The kid has no mental issues to need a doctor... At least not that he's aware of.]

[Voice]

[byakkoyagirl]

[A small smile.]

I wish I could explain it to you, but some people really would prefer to be home. It's a matter of choice really. [And the experimentations, among other things, don't make it easy.]

It's nice to meet you too, Goku.

[Voice]

[justonename]

I prefer to be here, is that something bad? It really wasn't nice back there, we were trying to get out of there to begin with. Is it bad if I say that I want to stay?

[Voice]

[byakkoyagirl]

It's not bad at all. I know a few people who would probably like being here than back home. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

[Voice]

[flamesofanger]

So basically you listen to people talk about their dreams and help them with that. Is it really needed?

[Here's a guy with many wounds inside him but who doesn't acknowledge them as being something he needs help with. He's pretty fine having those scars there.]

[Voice]

[flamesofanger]

Normal lives are overrated, some of us would never have a chance at them before we die in combat anyway.

[If Shun was here he probably would be saying that Ikki needs treatment, maybe not directly but... Anyway, Ikki doesn't acknowledge his scars as anything else but old and forgotten wounds.]

This place offers a relative peace but I wouldn't say it's enough to have a normal life.

[hippocraticly]

Got any bites?

[ voice ]

[byakkoyagirl]

Not quite yet, but I do have curious people asking me more about it. You never know what will come from it though. Patience is needed in this field.

[ voice ]

[hippocraticly]

[ there's a smile in his voice. ] Yeah, I can imagine.

[ voice ]

[byakkoyagirl]

You don't really need to imagine, do you though? You're a medical doctor and even being patient in that field is needed sometimes.
