[One big fluffy dog lies in front of his scroll, his big dog eyes appearing a tad lost, like they're searching for something.]

It is good to see the people of this world returning to themselves. I know losing control is not a good thing to live through...

[He shifts, letting his head rest on one paw.]

I am sorry I was not as much help as I could have been...I honestly do not remember where I have been...it does not matter.

[The diamond dog didn't come here just to make small talk anyhow.]

But I must be true...I did not call only for this. I have a question...how does one forget? How does one forget someone you know you cannot see?

I don't know the answer myself. Maybe someone knows it...

Time heals all wounds, don't you worry. You'll get past the pain of it by and by.

Here's a thought that might help you get started: Whatever the pain is, you're never alone. There will always, always be someone out there who's feeling what you're feeling, or who'll have a shoulder to cry on if you need it. You don't need to be soldiering on by yourself, shouldering all the torment, when there's someone else who'd help you carry the weight, eh?

...hmm, if you had spoken to me a year or so ago, I would not have believed you. But...I met many people after that...and there is truth to what you have said.

It has been so long I had forgotten that.

Well, there you go!

Now, I imagine you've met plenty of people in this world too, eh? Plenty more friends to help bear any more burdens in your life, hm?

[bigsoftie]

Yes...and I am ashamed that I have forgotten them.

Thank you, for reminding me.

Re: [Visual]

Oh, that's quite all right. Just stick by them, and if they're your friends indeed, then they'll stand by you whenever you're in need.

Oh, and, er, confidentially, my good man... I think you're going to do just fine.

[bigsoftie]

And I will defend them with my life.

[You can count on that.]

Thank you...whoever you are.

Are you someone that gives advice for a living?

Re: [Visual]

[hockety_pockety]

...er, well, no... Most often I'm someone who gives education for a living- a tutor, rather. Still, a bit of good advice costs nothing, so I thought I'd give a bit to someone who looked in need of a cheering up.

[bigsoftie]

Oh...thank you.

Is there any way I can repay you?
