Fanmail the Fourth

[idolpro]

Who: you and your adoring fan(mail)s ♥
Where: Hotel lobby
When: Day 55, evening

[ It's been pretty quiet lately, huh? Well . . . no. Every day is busy in Imeeji! You just want to relax and go home, right? Especially after going for a fun swim!

Well . . . Going home might be difficult for you. Press open on the elevators and you'll find that they open up to actual mountains of fanmail, haphazardly shoved in like jenga - if you're unlucky, you might even be literally buried in it. You can't even press the button from upstairs to go down to the lobby because the elevators are filled at max capacity. Surely they couldn't be that heavy though, right!?

Is this . . . the weight of love. . . . ?

The staircases are blocked with a couple boxes too, but nothing so obstructive that you can't push them away with a little elbow grease.

There's just . . . so much . . . . ]

[ Sighs and rubs at the back of his head ]

I'm not going to waste away. And I'm not going to give up. It's just been... difficult, you know. And now, Oni's gone...

I guess I don't know how to talk about this stuff. So it's easier not to most of the time.

[Oni's gone...? shit]


Yeah... that was an awful experience, and I'm sure it hasn't been easy to deal with. I sympathize.

And that's... fair. If you don't want to talk about it, I shouldn't push you. I'm sorry.

Thank you for telling me, though.

[malignstar]

I'm... I'm not trying to not talk about it... I just, I don't know what to say. Eating people sucks, I guess. It's... hard to get out of your head when you see food. I was hoping maybe it would be different if I made it. It's not.

[we_meet_again]

I see. I'm sorry. I can only imagine how hard that must be.

Still, you did that for our sakes, so it doesn't seem right that you should have to struggle with this alone. I don't really know how else to help except to show you support and encourage you not to starve, though.

[malignstar]

If it makes you feel better, I'm not actively trying to starve.

I guess I could try eating with others. Maybe that will be distracting too.

[we_meet_again]

That's a good thought! I'd be happy to eat with you if that could help!

[malignstar]

Can't hurt, right?

[we_meet_again]

I hope not!

[malignstar]

I guess I'll give a go the next time you feel like eating.

[we_meet_again]

Sounds good!
