Soujackapoo Catsuki 4/7 near Birch Hills, Recollé

okay, I wanted to ask people about something (⊃д⊂) what if one of the things you "remember" is something really bad??? I mean like... criminal bad? …φ(。。*) how do you get that out of your head? honestly I get queasy when someone draws my blood, and these memories are way worse. in relates news I guess I'd like to talk to anyone who has been getting memories of like... fighting and stuff, you know? or I guess memories of old-timey stuff too (ㆆᴗㆆ)

Pomesada Yamato That makes sense

[And it wouldn't stop the memories from kicking back in the minute Soujirou's alone, either.

Normally he'd recommend something like vigorous exercise, since exhaustion is a good distraction, but since that's not really an option...]

Pomesada Yamato Is there some kind of project you can start? Something else to focus on might help

[spes_phthisica]

Soujackapoo Catsuki well I've been trying to distract myself with studying
Soujackapoo Catsuki and I cleaned the apartment
Soujackapoo Catsuki but I'm all out of things to write and clean now and I'm not sure what else to try

[okitactless]

Pomesada Yamato well, you could try making something

[He's seen Kashuu throw himself into design projects out of irritation plenty of times. Surely something like that would help?]

Pomesada Yamato Or... if it's bothering you because it was, you know... [lots of murder] is there a way to do... the opposite? Like to counterattack it

[He wrote counteract, and it autocorrected to that... WHOOPS.]

Pomesada Yamato you know,
like doing a lot of good things that make you and other people really happy? Volunteering or helping or something

[It seems logical enough, though he has no idea if it would actually work or not. But hey, when all else fails, there's always food.]

Pomesada Yamato And there's always my mom's place if you want to come over

[spes_phthisica]

Soujackapoo Catsuki the animal shelter definitely helps too yes
it's hard to think about bad things when taking care of animals (^･ｪ･^)
Soujackapoo Catsuki maybe that's a really good idea actually
just try to do more nice things so I'll remember I'm not like that

[And incidentally take on even MORE work, because that's just what his body needs. But shhh...]

Soujackapoo Catsuki that sounds nice though
so you're staying at your mom's place right now

[He'd wondered if Yasusada would still be at home of Kiyomitsu was avoiding it, but apparently not.]

[okitactless]

Pomesada Yamato right right!
if you start feeling down, just cuddle with puppies ▼・ᴥ・▼

[And look... look... sometimes the best thing to do is bury yourself in distractions, right? That's what people say? Or something.

But, ah... he hadn't intended to put that out there... oops. Well, whatever. It's not like he doesn't know Soujirou and Kashuu talk by now, so if Kashuu's mentioned anything about their fight, then denying it would not only be a blatant lie, but it would also make it seem like he thinks he's in the wrong.]

Pomesada Yamato yeah I am
Pomesada Yamato so if you want a nice meal you can come and visit, I'll make sure we have dessert

[spes_phthisica]

Soujackapoo Catsuki best medicine there is

[So they're still fighting, then? He's not going to push any harder than that, not in public messages, not where everyone can see. Even face to face he's going to try to be gentle. A falling out like that must really be draining on Yasusada, and what he probably needs more than anything is support.
And maybe it's always a bit easier for him to deal with other people's problems.]

Soujackapoo Catsuki I think I will come over then (•ө•)♥
when would be a good time for you?

[okitactless]

Pomesada Yamato And if it doesn't work, you can just keep getting more puppies until it does

[OR SOMETHING, sounds like a good solution to him tbh.]

Pomesada Yamato Whenever you like, I'm not busy ▽・ω・▽ ♥

[Which he would've said no matter what, for the sake of cheering up Soujirou... but in this case, it's true--aside from errands from his mother, he hasn't really done much but lay around and be a sad pompom.]
