Block XI - Group Therapy [Visual]
Yo.
[Minato appears on the scrolls, as neutral as ever, greeting everypony as if the past two weeks hadn't been absolutely hectic.]
Now that we've got a moment. I want to suggest something.
[...Maybe he should have rehearsed first. Oh well.]
It's been some year so far. Lot of stuff happened, lot of stuff went wrong, either from Calice, or somepony else, or us... especially us. I don't need to give examples. I'm sure a lot of you are thinking of something right now, something you're blaming yourself for. We've been doing that a lot lately, taking all the blame for something to save our friends' face. It's admirable, yeah, but it's not always the best thing to do. Or the most healthy.
[He pauses to give a look of slight exasperation to the camera. There's gonna be a friendship speech next, and he knows it's probably getting old by now, but bear with him; he'll make it short.]
Sure, you can get those friends to support you and dig you out of that hole later, but I think that sometimes you just have to let them sit there in that hole with you. Share in your sorrow instead of just watching you from above.
I have a story to tell about that, back from home. I was going to just talk about it with a couple people, but I figure some of you might want to hear it, too, or need to hear it. Or maybe you've got one of your own you want to share. Call it therapy, if you want. Or just a party. I was told to bring games and food.
[It was an odd conversation.]
Long story short, I'm holding this thing Saturday afternoon. Found a nice open spot outside the Night Market to set things up. Anypony's welcome to come, but I'm expecting to see a certain few of you there.
That's all for now. Later.
[The scroll closes for most people, but he's got a few more people to contact directly.]
[Private to Yu and Luna:]
There's the details, Luna. Should be a few hours long. Yu, I'm expecting you there. Might help. Your leave's been cleared already.
[Private to Yukiko:]
After what happened with Tirek, I want to see you there. You don't have to talk or anything, but at least come to listen.
[Private to Shinjiro:]
I'm gonna be talking about what happened during and after October 5th. I won't mention you by name if you don't want me to, but it needs to be said.
[Private to Jappleack:]
After what happened with Calice, this might be good for you, too.
