[Text Post 02]//Locked from Micchy

What do you do when one of your best friends here tells you something really scary and painful?

How are you supposed to deal with that?

How are you not supposed to be terrified of them?

Especially when they told you they'd protect you from any danger. When they've been nothing but nice to you, but what they did makes them a really bad person. When they still might be a bad person, but they're trying not to be.

I told them I can't talk to them until I figure things out. This feels worse than a breakup. Anyone have any advice?

Bad actions don't make a person bad. They simply make a person capable of bad acts. Sentient beings are more complex and many-faceted than to simply be wedged into categories of 'good' and 'bad'. If this person has never given you any reason to be frightened of them or assume they mean you harm, being aware of actions in their past has no bearing on that. It doesn't make them any different than who they were, you simply understand them better now. And if you turn your back on someone struggling to be better and overcome their failings, you're capable of bad acts, as well.

There have been a few things that worried me. Just things like being more overprotective than a friend should be sometimes. Telling me they'd protect me when they found out about my past even though I'm not afraid of getting hurt here.

What they told me first wasn't so bad. Just kind of scary. They sounded like a hero when they went on, and then not so much. There was so much delusion and selfishness that it got people killed because of them. They were in love with a girl that they wanted to claim as theirs even though she didn't feel the same, and it got her killed. I think they're afraid that'll happen to me, and that's what scares me. They got jealous when I told them about a girl I liked.

I know they're trying to be a better person, but I'm scared. Not just from the death they caused, the people they've hurt, but because I don't want to wind up like that girl.

They told me that they don't know if they can help people, even if they tried. I think there's something that they're not telling me, even now.

It's hard to trust them right now. I don't know what else to do.

I see. It's a different matter, if you have reason to be afraid beyond simply actions from the past in a different world. I have little advice. These are complicated matters. Do you share mutual acquaintances?

I don't think so. They don't actually talk about their friends. No one I talk to know of them. I'm with a friend right now in Ecruteak. But the person I'm talking about knows where I am. Should I change my plans and go to a different town?

If you fear this person, yes. There's no harm in changing your plans. If you have reason to fear, you're safe, if you have no reason you've done nothing wrong. A lack of mutual social ties makes for easier severing of a relationship, if you feel the need.

I think I'll go to Mahagony instead of Olivine then. For now. They knew I was going to Olivine, but not the other town. Goldenrod... I still have to go back there if I want to get my things. They live there.

Oh, I don't know what I'm going to do about that. I can't ask my boss or friends to just send me my things, can I?

Why couldn't you?

I don't want to seem like a burden to anyone.

That's hardly being a burden. For god's sake, I live in Goldenrod, I'm capable of getting your things.

You do?

[The things you learn.]

So when I find a place to stay, I could ask you to help?

I do. I own a home there and work as a performer in the circus. I've simply been on vacation. Yes, I suppose.

I don't have my own home yet. I've just been living in the Dojo. I think I'll change that now.

Thank you. I have a few other people I think I can ask. It's my Pokémon I'm worried about the most. None of them are boxed.

I can tend to your Pokemon. Are you capable of physically defending yourself if you have to?

[That's 17 Pokémon, Lust, and mostly Eeveelutions.]

Really? I'd appreciate that a lot. I'll send a message to Killua-san and Botan-san to let them know it's okay for them to go with you.

Not really. I've always had security at home when I was an idol. I never thought I'd need to learn.

They're with Killua and Botan? I know both of them. I see. Are you traveling alone or with others?

They're my bosses. I'm the idol for Honeyed Soul.

With Chihiro-kun right now. But I think Mr. P and Teddie will come with me, too. I try not to travel alone.

That's some sort of advertisement position, isn't it? Good, stay near people. If you need it, I know large and trustworthy men.

Yeah. I go around to towns and advertise for Honeyed Soul. I did it over the network once, but it's not like what I'm used to in my world. I was thinking of going to a TV station and shooting a commercial there, but I don't know the first ting about setting up something like that. Not having a manager is tough.

I don't think I could travel alone. I don't know how anyone can do it.

Couldn't you film one on your 'gear and send the file in to the television station? Some prefer it.

[................................................... that is a really, really good idea.]

I've been so busy, I never even thought of that!

Do they like being alone?

I was planning something similar for my radio show. I don't see why it wouldn't work for a video recording. You'd simply need a script, a private setting to film in without interruption, and someone to film and polish it. Some do. Or at least believe they do.

You'll have to let me know when your show comes on! I'm so excited you're doing it~! And I think I might know someone who's good with that kind of thing. I just have to ask if he has time.

That sounds like how my friend Naoto-kun was. She doesn't do it anymore now that we're friends with her.

We'll see if anything comes of it. Oftentimes a desire to be alone simply comes from being alone too long.

Hey, you've got a fan already.

I can't imagine being alone anymore. It was a horrible feeling when I was. Yeah, there was people there, but none of them were my friends.

I don't like to be alone, either. Not for very long, anyway. Sometimes I need my solitude, but only briefly.
