thecrossinglogs | Therapy Session Take #1

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."

It wasn't easy to have the things you dedicated your life to become obsolete was it? Soo Won could relate in a way. He dedicated his life to protecting his kingdom. Without that purpose he felt lost. Not that he would admit it though and he clung to the stubbornness he had in life and turned his focus towards the mysteries of this place instead.

He hid how Dankovsky's plight stirred his own feelings behind a grateful smile.

"You have my thanks and I will leave myself in your care should the need arise."

And Dankovsky stays ignorant of Soo Won's similar feelings, wrapped up in his own. It's so often that he doesn't observe what is right in front of him simply because he's too absorbed in his own turbulent emotions.

This happens more than the Bachelor even realizes.

"Please do." Dankovsky says, giving a slight nod at this, trying to calm himself down still, ground himself to the current conversation, not think about Nagito, "I should hope that it won't be horribly necessary given the circumstances, but, well, we never know."

In Dankovsky's defense Soo Won hid his true feelings behind a polite smile that few saw past. As king he always put his kingdom first and while he didn't have that same burden here, old habits die hard. Although this place was slowly chipping at those walls.

Soo Won nodded in agreement. "I hope it won't be necessary either but it's better to be prepared in case the need arises."

"One doctor is certainly better than none." Dankovsky is quick to agree.

He's seen what happens to places with very few medical resources during an emergency. He has been the person who had to step up and organize during a crisis. The Bachelor doesn't even want to think about what that situation would have been like with no doctors trapped in that forsaken little town.
