I'm not shutting them out. Completely, at least. I don't want to feel nothing, just to get through a day. And hey, don't talk so badly about yourself. While it hasn't been too long, you seem......happy, in a way. I'm glad you have Darcy, and that she has you.

Not........entirely. Just, shelving them somewhat. For now. Not forever. I'm tired of always crying, Adam. Tired of people asking if I'm okay, when I want to be so badly. So, if this is what it takes, to get through a day, I'll do it.

Don't make me pick you up and carry you around. I will do it, if I have to.

See, you would be frightening. If I hadn't already dealt with things more terrifying than a hug attack. You're more......silly, than scary.

.........yea, I feel we need to get you somewhere you cannot do yourself harm at this point.

It's a little hard not to. I've been trying to focus on any little thing besides what I'm feeling, and while that may not be for the best, I've been more calm since.

I........I don't know how to respond to that.

And that, is where you are wrong. I haven't forgotten. I have all my memories in a databank, and unless I erase them, they're always there. It's still weird, calling it that

Heh, so, anything new with you lovebirds? Last I saw, the two of you had been spending quite alot of time together 😏 Gonna put a ring on her finger yet?

Well, who knows, you might just actually give this place some life. Besides the people there, that is

Oh, no, more than used to it. Just, it's been a month since I spoke to anyone. It feels kinda......weird. But, I needed it more than I knew. Honestly. I need a break to learn what it is to be me

First of all, I don't know how to do that. Second of all, I figured as much considering how you act sometimes. Still weird that it's been a month.....

A botanist who can truly talk to plants......well, not the oddest thing to see in Metropia

.......maybe. don't you dare laugh, sir, or I'll come find you at the bakery

I feel I should be a bit concerned considering I didn't tell anyone I'd be out and about in TX

......okay, I have to ask, how did you find me that quickly?

From the back.......wait, where are you??

Heh, well, I've been living here for awhile, just.......dealing with some things. Not to worry about, I've been taking some time to myself. You'll be surprised, though, we don't have as much flora here in TX
