Well you are a sweet person. That part's not wrong. But you can still be nice and sweet while knowing what's most important to you. It isn't your job to be responsible for everyone else. The only people you should take care of are yourselves and the people you want to take care of.

...you can have empathy for everyone around you, but you don't have to be perfect. I know it probably doesn't help but that's just how I see it.

[applechemist]

... I guess.

[ It's hard to argue with that, but also very hard to just have another conversation that boils down to justifying herself to herself. So she tries to brush past it. ]

At the very least, I'm glad that I was of more use to people this time around.

[crashout]

I am, too. Not that I thought you were useless or anything but...I get it. Wanting to be helpful to everyone and people not always letting you.

[applechemist]

I definitely got more use out of my power this time around than last time.

... Even if the results were kind of a hassle.

[crashout]

It's great, isn't it? Even with all the problems. [results are good and that's all he cares about.] ...you did a great job. I hope you know that.

[applechemist]

[ ... she nods mostly just to be polite, but. her tail is wagging. ]

This place was miserable.

... But there were good things about it.

[crashout]

Are, Escha. There are still good things about it. Like the people you meet and the people you rely on. Right?

[applechemist]

That's true.

I feel really lucky to have met everyone, even if under these circumstances. It's hard to say that it's worth it... But it is.

[crashout]

I'm lucky, too. We're better people for it, I think, even if the situation hasn't been ideal. That alone makes it worth it to me.

[at least they're on the same page.]
