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."

Not as much as a couple of years ago! [Nagito says this cheerfully--see, things are improving!]

[perfecttune]

'A-a couple of years ago'?

[She repeated, still a bit in shock. And Nagito seemed so... cheerful about it? Or maybe just used to it?]

T-they aren't around here by chance?

[She hadn't seen anyone else a bit after their arrival but if a third person from their world perished...]

[blindluck]

Naegi-sama is the only person here I know from my world. If there was a therapist here, I'd definitely have let you know! [That's obviously what Mari's concern is, right? That Nagito was hiding someone qualified to lead a therapy session?]

[perfecttune]

[Despite what Nagito thought that wasn't her main reason for asking but thanks for caring!]

Ah... ok then...

[So it wasn't like with her, Sunny, and Kel... maybe that person had either come here already before they arrived... or might even come after they were gone... She wasn't sure she liked that thought.]

Regardless... I'm sorry! I didn't... I mean...

[Why was apologizing so hard sometimes? If anything... the session didn't have to go a certain way and she shouldn't have tried to take it out on Nagito. As long as it was able to help those here, that's all that mattered.]

[blindluck]

Eh? [Nagito tilts his head; it takes him a moment to even register she's trying to apologize to him, he's so unused to that sort of thing.] Oh, no, you don't need to apologize to someone as worthless as me!

[perfecttune]

No I do need to apologize... I shouldn't have snapped at you like that...

[Her mouth turns into a frown as she continues looking at him.]

And you aren't worthless. You opinions matter just as much as any of ours.

[blindluck]

Really, people have said a lot worse to me! [Mari really shouldn't have to worry about something like that!]

[perfecttune]

[At Nagito's 'reassurance', Mari's face set into something that looked a bit stormy. If those who had said such things to Nagito were here, then they would have something to fear indeed.]

That doesn't mean its true or right though...

[To completely disregard a person's worth... it was unthinkable to her. Nagito was a person, one who had their own existence and experiences. Of course others should listen to what he had to say. She wondered if this was the reason he had such little self-esteem... something she would have to get Makoto to help her- trying to get Nagito to see his own self-worth like they all did.]
