Eclipse (as you may remember,) Maki, Ruby, Yugi, and Camellia, and Lucifel... The last two decided we were friends shortly after meeting. It was a little surprising... but it does not match the definition of "friendship" that Silence seeks.

[arealeyeopener]

Nice. That's a good range.

[resonantblue]

This does not include the friends I have on future is now, of course.

[arealeyeopener]

Of course.

Who else do you want to be your friend? Name five people.

[resonantblue]

—?!

[arealeyeopener]

Five more friends, Silence! Go! No thinking!

[resonantblue]

I CANNOT DO THAT, I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK MY DIARY FOR THE BEST CANDIDATES?!

[arealeyeopener]

In five seconds! Better start!

Five....! Four....!

[resonantblue]

[not blushing anywhere near as much as the icon implies]

E-EVERYONE!?

[actually that's a lie she probably is blushing that much]

[arealeyeopener]

[oh no she's cute]

Everyone?

[resonantblue]

[huffs!]

W-well, actually, let us re-examine this, befriending everyone is impossible, you see, while a friendship does not require the friends to share the same exact interests Silence does believe they should share similar ideals and priorities, as per my recent observations and experiences, but if the ideals differ greatly and you are still friends with someone there is what I call a "tolerance threshold," which is the limit to which someone can irritate someone, take into consideration that I do not think I could tolerate someone who wanted to set fire to the hotel, but I could continue to tolerate someone like Ruby who seems to like explosions, but that is not bad either since it is making me realize that I do not want to meddle with life-threatening experiments as much, anyway, they should also have personality traits that do not annoy me (this ties into the tolerance threshold) for there are people out there with personalities that are simply annoying and others who have annoying personalities that take no effort to endure, an example of the former: someone who is uncertain and aimless, that is frustrating, they must stop saying "maybe" or "I guess," and start saying "yes" or "no," that spineless behavior makes dealing with people difficult, Silence admits to also becoming frustrated with anyone who questions everything, if I say "I am sure" then they should not ask me if I mean it, either take my word or do not, it really irritates me that someone can go through with such an indecisive weak-willed mindset, so...

So...

Ahem.

I got off track...? My point is that it is impossible to be on good terms with everyone. You put me on the spot... so I said what came to mind. And while I wish "everyone" could be the answer, that is not possible. I was wrong to say that.

[arealeyeopener]

Who has been irritating you?

[resonantblue]

People like Hurricane. Medusa, too, at times.

[arealeyeopener]

Maybe they have self esteem issues.

[resonantblue]

What?

[arealeyeopener]

...what part is confusing?

[resonantblue]

What is the correlation?

[arealeyeopener]

It's how you're like. I'm not worth it so I don't want to impose on others and what they want.

[resonantblue]

...oh. That feeling has crept its way into my thoughts before... but I can usually ignore it because I know it is not true.

[arealeyeopener]

Some people think it is true.

[resonantblue]

[quiet and pensive for a minute]

So they second-guess themselves and require reassurance...

[arealeyeopener]

I think everyone needs some reassurance sometimes.

We all kinda live in our own heads so sometimes you want someone else to let you know you're on the right track.

That's why you ask lots of questions, right?
