*Ryoji is obviously upset. He hasn't been sleeping well, if at all. He's just...incredibly glum-looking, not at all his cheery self.*

I...

I have a question.

*he shifts uncomfortably, not looking at the screen anymore.* I know there's some of you in Somarium that aren't human. I need your advice. I'm...well. I'll go into detail later.

I'm not exactly human myself, and did find it conflicting for a long time.

I'd be happy to help you if I can.

Really?

...How did you manage? Have you always known?

[caprice_of_song]

Yes. I was born as a replacement for someone else, so I always felt that my only purpose was to live as him and that my own life was meaningless because I was replaceable, too.

That's not true, though! Every person's life has meaning, whether or not they're the same as a conventional human being or not. No one can be replaced. When I realized that, being a replica no longer made me feel expendable.

I don't know what sort of conflict you've been having with yourself, but... I'm sure it doesn't matter to your friends if you're exactly the same as they are, does it?
