[ empatheias ] message box

Alvin will have acquired his own little carrier pigeon to send messages, so he'll have one stationed at the main carrier pigeon place that will come and find him.

In the meanwhile, this is the entry for any private messages that are delivered via the carrier pigeon system.

A lot of self-esteem issues, apparently. [Another sigh, but this time it's less heavy and more... Kids.] It mostly related to how he was handling his own emotions and how they affected Peromei.

[young_oldman]

So he's melancholy because he's...feeling melancholy, and is worried about the effect that will have on Peromei?

[Alvin can't see it, but Lu Meng's shaking his head. Kids.]

What brought this on in the first place? We parted on awful terms, but before our relationship soured he didn't seem to be in such poor spirits.

[Alvin completely agrees.]

I'm honestly not sure. It might be because of what happened with Junko. He was afraid he'd have to get the same treatment as her, and I think he wants to actually help with what's going with the Arehtei. So he might be feeling useless right now, too.

[young_oldman]

Miss Enoshima's despair is completely different from his; she deliberately wants to feel nothing else but despair to destroy the island. And eitherway no one is going to be subject to that drug if they don't want to, and especially not for just having negative emotions. I thought this was cleared up at the townhall meeting.

[This is ridiculous. Lu Meng rubs his face on his side, Chinese curses floating in from his end of the line.]

...if he wants to help with the Arehtei, I'm sure he can contribute in some manner. Perhaps...you could suggest to him to collect well-wishes and cards for Peromei's health?

It didn't sink into his head, but I already told him all of that. But kids can be troublesome like that. Once they get an idea into their head, it sometimes takes a lot of convincing and proof otherwise. [Siiiiighhh.

But whoa, watch that language, Lu Meng.]

He actually turned in his crystal to Peromei earlier. Had me go along with him to make sure he didn't run away and things didn't get too hairy.

[young_oldman]

Then perhaps he should speak with a counselor as well. I've already advised Red to see one, but...well. I'm starting to understand how frustrating it was for you and Sanae to handle me back then.

I'll do what I can with Red. I believe he'll want to apologize with Emizel. Could you perhaps speak with him? At least to hear Red's side of the story.

[opportunitycosts]

Yeah, I think I might talk to him about going to see someone. Though his pride might not take to it well, so I'll have to be careful about it.

But don't worry. I already plan on talking with him. Helps that we're in the same house. Just sorry that you had to deal with his on your own.

[young_oldman]

There's nothing to apologize for. No one is to blame, it was just...bad luck.

[What a lame way to end. But it is true.]

I'll keep you informed on how Red is doing. Please let me know about Emizel as well.

[opportunitycosts]

Yeah, I'll let you know. Thanks for telling me, Lu Meng.
