{5th Demon; Text} Backdated to Christmas Day

[dejerate]

Hope everyone else is enjoying the holidays. Mika and I are gonna go give out presents at the orphanage later on.

But ah, in light of that sort of thing. Regarding memories from this other life? How do you deal with those, when there are awful memories on happier times of the year like this? It's just such a difference in trying to juggle it? At least, for me with what I remember. Because it's kinda hard to get into things while remembering the apocalypse. Not that I'm not trying. But it doesn't make this easy.

[Okay. So he remembered that a while back now, but still. It's. Rough. Even if he's trying to do what he can to distract himself from dwelling on it, from joining in to try keep himself busy. Hence helping out at the orphanage. Even if he would be the least convincing Santa.]

You remembered your world ending, too?

To be honest, this time of year is no less an inconvenience for terrible memories than any others since Christmas isn't a holiday I celebrate, but... [ there's an awkward pause between this text and the next as he gathers the courage to finally admit it, for once (and for the time being) resisting the urge to make a snarky comment: ] having someone to talk to about them can make a surprisingly big difference, whether it's a public broadcast like this one, or a private conversation between friends...

Otherwise, it's going to feel like the weight of the world is on your shoulders.
