ain't no turning back from your point of no return

[maidofmistakes]

So does anyone else get really sick when they're around those glowy green gems, or is it just me? I basically couldn't do anything all last month.

Uh, just in case the answer's no, is there anything else we should be worried about in town? Or in the winter town? Considering we're headed out there sooner or later, we should probably all be on the same page preparedness-wise instead of guessing.

It's not your fault. Just, the last time we had to deal with those things, a friend of mine got seriously sick and refused to talk about it, even knowing how bad it could get.

[maidofmistakes]

Thanks. I'll do what i can to make sure nothing goes wrong.

[thesettingsun]

You can ask me for help if you need to. Please.

[maidofmistakes]

I don't want to mess things up for you, but thanks a lot. I owe you.

[thesettingsun]

Mess things up for me by being safe instead of doing everything on your own?

[maidofmistakes]

More like be someone you have to worry about.

[thesettingsun]

We call those people 'friends'.

[maidofmistakes]

...thanks, Mr. Tsushima. I guess I need to work on that.

[thesettingsun]

As long as you know.

And it's Shuji, remember?

[maidofmistakes]

Sorry... It's still kinda awkward.

[thesettingsun]

It's not a big deal, it's just... weird for me. Mr. Tsushima is my father.

[maidofmistakes]

I guess. It's weird calling an adult by their first name like that.

[thesettingsun]

It's weird being a real adult...

[maidofmistakes]

Is there such a thing as a fake one?

[thesettingsun]

When you're 25 and still in college.

[maidofmistakes]

Plenty of people are that old in college or university, right? I mean, doctors, lawyers, people who just really like academia, aren't there disability exemptions that mean you can take longer to get your degree?

[thesettingsun]

Law school/medical school are different from just regular college. So is graduate school.

[maidofmistakes]

So lawyers are real adults, but people who had a quarter-life crisis and changed their major are fake adults? That seems a little harsh.

[thesettingsun]

Only if it's me judging myself, not if it's anyone else.

[maidofmistakes]

Now it's just kinda depressing.

[thesettingsun]

That's me, Shuji "Kinda Depressing" Tsushima.

[maidofmistakes]

I don't think that's a good thing...

[thesettingsun]

It's not. Don't be like me.

[maidofmistakes]

Is there any way I can help?

[thesettingsun]

You're fine. I should stop making jokes at my own expense.
