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."

[Hearing those words means the world to Frieda, and she beams.]

That makes me so happy, Mari. You can rely on me with anything, I promise you that!

[Mari must be around the age Frieda was when she inherited the power of the titans and the memories of the world, and she really couldn't say whether they were more alike before or afterwards. Frieda was a child with big ambitions, wanting to overcome the curse her uncle and grandfather hadn't been able to and to lead her people outside the Walls... it was only after she realised the truth of the world that she became calmer and more withdrawn, focusing on the only thing she could do: Instill the values of people, love and compassion in her people.

Mari is just a normal person, without millennia of memories in her head, and yet she sometimes seems to have realised that same truth: That only goodness and kindness make life beautiful and worthwhile in a world full of cruelty. Of course, they've both left their worlds behind now, but aren't those virtues still needed even here in the afterlife? Mari's gentle presence shines like a star in their small community.]
