Therapy Session Take #1

[perfecttune]

WHO: Mari and you (OTA, characters are free to interact with others as well)
WHAT: Mari is hosting a therapy session! Come if you would like, or if you want to argue against it feel free to show up as well! This is more informal than it seems although she did invite some guest speakers.
WHERE: One of the large buildings that was most likely a common area for everyone, or just a super large bedroom.
WHEN: After First Crossing
WARNINGS Talk about death and violence, specific CWs will be in the text.

A message goes out on the server from Mari: Sorry for the delay everyone! I thought it best to wait a bit till after the meeting Kel thoughtfully put together for all of us! If you would like to come for the Therapy Session, please come to building X. If you would like to bring anyone or anything along please do! Special guest speakers/appearances include Makoto Naegi, Daniil Dankovsky, and Soo Won.

Mari put her tablet down and went back to straightening the chairs she was able to gather in a circle. Surely this would be welcoming? This way they could all see each other and seek comfort if needed... but just in case, she had set up private areas using curtains as a makeshift divider in case others felt the need for a one on one talk...

It still felt strange to her to not have refreshments so she had cups filled with water just in case, surely even if they didn't need to drink it still helped to make the session feel welcoming?

As people filtered in she would call out a greeting. "Welcome and thank you for coming! If you feel comfortable taking a seat please do so! There are also refreshments over there."

Re: YAY <3 More Shepard threads!

She doesn't miss the change in his demeanor, nor the way he cuts himself off - but it's not really her expertise to do more than listen, and Hanako doesn't seem ready to reveal the rest of his thoughts. At least, not yet.

So she meets him where he is and arches a brow at the mention of his friend's...interests.

"I don't think there's going to be much opportunity for that."

“Clearly you haven’t met Yashiro then! My assistant can have her head in the clouds, caught in her fantasies, during most dangerous situations. It’s how she ends up in trouble so often~!”

There’s something fond about the way he says it. “-And then that means I have to get her out of trouble again!”

[callsignhornet]

"Well, it seems like the only real trouble so far is the Crossing."

She wonders to herself about the nature of their relationship (and the nature of this girl) if Hanako is saying she gets in trouble a lot.

"How long have you two been friends?"

Not me actually having to tally this XD

“The less dangers we have to worry about, the better.” He could at least admit that.

Her question has him pausing. Blinking, as he thought, almost like the word ‘friend’ had ground his mind to a halt. Yashiro had called him ‘friend’ many times but…

“A few months? I met her near the beginning of the semester, and it was summer when…” He paused, like trying to verify that. When he had died a second time and been sent here. But… “Yashiro apparently came from before that moment though so… a few months sounds about right.”

Strange, that he was so attached to her despite the short time…

She doesn't miss the mental stutter and waits patiently as he begins his explanation. The amount of time he admits feels short though his wording makes her pause. The commander assumed they'd all come from different worlds, but the idea of coming from different points of time from the same world...

"What do you mean 'before that moment'?"

[toilet_bound]

“Just that - apparently Yashiro arrived here at a point that I remember happening earlier. So, in a way, we’re out of sync. I have more memories than her, but that isn’t an accident.” He thinks, wondering now though the truth of that. It wasn’t simply that Yashiro had lost those memories; it was just that they hadn’t happened yet. “But she’s still herself, and that’s what matters to me.”
