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?

Their reasons weren't in self-defense, or else it wouldn't be so bad. It was delusions and selfishness that made them do it.

I have one of my friends here, but he's not exactly the best to talk to about this.

Oh...I see. I guess that might scare me too.

[Of course, it was hard to imagine being afraid of his group for long, even if some things he'd seen...probably walked the line, at times.]

I'm probably not the best either. I don't even have many friends that I can think this stuff about. Sorry.

It just reminds me of how someone really nice from back home wound up being a serial killer out of boredom... I'm that scared right now, because I don't want to someone trying to kill me again.

[WELL THAT'S...A THING.]

That's awful! I don't know how anyone could do something like that...

Your friend said they'd try to protect you though right? Do you think they'd lie about that?

[dangerousidol]

No, I don't think so. But I barely knew him when he made that promise. I don't know or want to think about what they'd do to other people to try and protect me.

[stonebones]

Oh. I wish I knew what to tell you...

I guess if you decide to talk to them again you could make a clear line? Ask if he still means it and what that all includes?

[dangerousidol]

Yeah, that might be best. I'll take my time to decide. Thank you.

Be safe, okay? I know I can't do a whole lot but...if you ever think I can help with something just let me know. My name's Emil.

Thanks. If you ever need to talk, I'll listen! And my name's Rise.

I wish it was under better circumstances, but it's nice to have met you, Rise.

It's okay! I meet people under all sorts of circumstances.
