hey. looks like you're all busy right now and joanne is down with a cold, so this probably doesn't have to be fancy. r&d doesn't report anything major for the next month so don't be dumbasses and make a problem of your own. don't fuck with the liaison, we're not replacing him. looks like there's some weird fucking stone at city hall now. enjoy that, i guess. pretty sure zee warned you about the stones, but if you broke it, that sucks and we don't know how to fucking fix it yet so good job, idiot. you might need to be a little proactive. r&d probably has something in mind, but good fucking luck getting a straight answer out of any of them but the kid. maybe they'll at least tell zee what they need, though. or if you're chill with the loss, whatever. that's about it. wait, right. joanne wanted to thank two of you for letting her help with holiday shit last month. thanks for not being assholes. the kid likes having stuff to do, i guess. and that's really it. later.

Is that the state yours is in?

[nachetanya]

Hello to you as well, Clover!

There might be some superficial damage, yes.

Is yours in tact?

[servileness]

What does your stone make you feel?

Mine is perfectly fine.

[nachetanya]

I'm glad to hear that you've had no difficulties with it, Clover. That is genuinely surprising to me, given my own! But then, you can be direct with your emotions at times.

What the stone makes me feel is immaterial to my concerns I think...? But it does make me focus on my adoration of animals.

[servileness]

I see.

As far as I know, the stone reacts adversely when you try to ignore or reject the feelings it holds.

[ Clover has never felt so vindicated, but she soon feels awful for it. ]

[nachetanya]

It does not need to be the feelings it holds.

Or at least, that was not the problem with me. It was the denial of every other emotion, broadcasting my worries to the world.

It seems like a tall order, doesn't it?

[servileness]

Were you trying to pretend your worries could disappear?

Is that what you're saying?

[nachetanya]

I am saying I considered it absurd that I should be expected to get into them with everyone I pass on the street, merely because I had the stone on my person.

I took to leaving it in my apartment or car.

[servileness]

I see empathy isn't high on your list of wanted abilities.

[ But now Clover thinks Natalia's stone is cracked because of the distance. ]

[nachetanya]

Do you regularly talk about everything to people?

Very well, Clover. Please tell me the darkest things bothering you right now. Let's be empathetic.

[servileness]

You don't have to talk about everything. It's called tact. It shouldn't be a burden to know what other people are feeling. You don't have to call it out or address every little ting, but it helps in knowing when not to talk to someone or talk about something.

It's not necessary when you've already said you did not want to engage. Therefore, I won't bother.
