✯ Seventh Session ✯ [Voice]

[Through the weeks Paprika has been noticing more people coming through, signalling another cycle. It seems that most of the arrivals have already come and still no Atsuko. Well, that's probably for the best anyway. She can't say she would be happy to see the woman stuck here. For some reason she's been thinking about it. Probably because of the rain. The cold, dim demeanor reminded her of her creator. Kind of sad actually.

In the morning, she flips open the journal and begins. She has something she wants to address and given the rain, more people will probably be inside reading to see it.]


So, I see we got some new arrivals in the village. I'm sorry that you all got stuck here. ...Well, only half-sorry. If you actually want to be here, that's fine too. [A small smile.]

My name is Paprika and I'm a psychotherapist. For anyone who doesn't have 'people doctors' in their world, psychotherapists help people cope with certain issues they feel they can't resolve on their own. Like mental stress or the like. Specifically, my specialty is dream therapy. Psychotherapists are known for having interpersonal relationships, so it's like getting to know the person inside and out and not just talking to them for an hour a week.

I'll get to the point: if any of you have things you want to talk about, but don't feel like you have anyone who will listen or want to keep a matter private from others, I'm willing to lend an ear. Everything we speak about is confidential between us and I won't force it on you. I already learned to make unhackable filters on this system. Or, if you prefer, we can talk in person.

It's just an offer I'm willing to give to anyone who needs it. We have plenty of medical doctors, but sometimes the deepest wounds come from within the psyche. This goes for current residents too. Luceti can be a stressing environment and no one would blame you for getting stressed to a point where you need help, if you can acknowledge you need it. I'll be here all day to answer in.

[ooc: replies come when I wake up.]

I can see how that can become distressing or awkward even. Love is such a strong emotion psychologically and having it clicked on and off like a switch is just asking for something bad.

...Ah, not that I want to worry you about it.

Ah... I suppose? [Love in beyond him.]

I do know it had a negative effect on him...

[She figures that much and chuckles.]

I would be more surprised if he didn't have a negative effect, if it was with someone he didn't actually love. Do you think he would be willing to talk with me about it?

...I doubt it would be willingly. He's not the sort to discuss his feelings with others, especially strangers.

It's not surprising. Back in my world people would only talk to a psychologist if they had appropriate credentials. Maybe you can convince him though? I keep everything private and don't discuss anything I see with anyone but him.

I'll try to convince him... I'll be sure to contact you in the future, then.

No problem! I take my journal just about everywhere I go, so give me a message any time you need to.

Thank you, Miss Paprika.

...Ah, and my name's Asbel Lhant.

It's a pleasure, Asbel. Don't worry about talking to your friend about this either. He needs to know people support him as well.
