[ It's your usually Lamb video, transmitted live from the psychiatrist's desk. ]

The knowledge of being influenced by an event's whims does little to alleviate its effects, as I can only assume many of you have already noticed.

[Nagi appears on the feed looking like he has a headache, with at least one very obvious bite mark on his neck.]

I'll admit that this whole situation is very unnerving.

[echo_of_utopia]

It has become more difficult to direct my emotions as I see fit.

[notursalvation]

Is it causing you much trouble?

[echo_of_utopia]

Hardly, but it is not the most desirable of situations. [ Ah, but enough about her. ] What about you, Owl? You look... exhausted.

[paper_knight]

What for?

[His tone is a little clipped. He's already had one bizarre emotional encounter this weekend, and a heart-to-heart with Lamb is the last thing he wants right now.]

[echo_of_utopia]

You sound upset. [ And hostile. ♥ ]

[paper_knight]

I am. What do you need?

[echo_of_utopia]

I was merely hoping we could talk. In fact I was worried the last even might have upset you.

...Though it seems I am wrong about the source of your trouble at the moment.

Hi! [After he conversation with the trolls, Elaine's trying her best to not let the event get to her. In other words, she's trying to fake being cheerful.]

[echo_of_utopia]

Good to see you, Elaine. [ Lamb's smile is as genuine as always. ] How have you been? Most of us are quite strained at the moment.

[demiurgos_girl]

I guess that's the right way to put it. Just strained.

And you?

[echo_of_utopia]

Merely relieved that the clinic is empty at the moment. Several transmissions appeared quite tense and I admit I found myself imagining worse.

The fortunate lack of patients has given me time to wonder about this event's origin. Should such a way to organise one's emotional connections be a social norm rather than personal experience then I would be quite interested in speaking to a member of that world.
