[Scoffing sound.]

From:

fuhrinkaed

You scoff now, but it's totally true.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

H....h...ow?

From:

fuhrinkaed

Someday in the future, you're going to hang out with friends. Really close friends, who you'll like a lot.

Also, eventually, we'll hang out and get to be super good... friends. So you'll have a close friend who's a wizard, too.

So, even if it's bad, there's something to look forward to. There always is.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Silence from the telescope.]

From:

fuhrinkaed

You don't have to believe me... but 'this too shall pass' is a really great set of magic words for whenever you're feeling overwhelmed or upset.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

W.....when...?

From:

fuhrinkaed

I don't think I made my first real friend until high school, and my thing was being lonely all the time... so...

I can't really say.

But I can say it'll definitely pass eventually.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

...

[She peaks out again.]

[Moves, motions. If it doesn't?]

From:

fuhrinkaed

It already has. The current you never has to go starving.

I just don't know when.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[And everyone else?]

[Gesturing to the walls, outside.]

From:

fuhrinkaed

They're not starving right now, either.

[To be honest he has no clue what happened to them outside of being 90% certain they died at some point. But this is a child so we're going to be nice.]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[It gets better?]

[SO HOPEFUL LOOKING.]

[Yeah, he's basically right.]

From:

fuhrinkaed

It absolutely gets better.

Just keep going, and don't ever give up. No matter how hard it gets... I'm sure you're strong enough to get through it.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

....

[There is....a sad look at that.]

[I am.]

From:

fuhrinkaed

You totally are.

And a wizard said it--we know what we're talking about, y'know?

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

...

[Nods.]

From:

fuhrinkaed

Alright then.

Even though it's had, please keep right on giving it your all.

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[Nodding again and]

[There's an imbalance.]

From:

fuhrinkaed

[...dammit.]

[where.]

From:

thevoidsdarkhorse

[In her.]

[Too much needing to depend on herself, too much loneliness, too much having to be STRONG.]

From:

fuhrinkaed

[...but... that's...]

[Ugh. this. heartttt.]

Um. But don't forget to hang out with your friends either, right? You have them, so... you should rely on them some too.
