    1. I can't believe some strawberry shortcake is calling me a dork when he needs to get better.

    2. I mean, you know. Thought it'd be a good thing to use some humor...?

      ...

      Anyway, I appreciate your friendship. -D. Shard

    3. It's okay Rider. It's more like how he was when we first met, so I'm used to it. -D. Shard

    4. When you first. Uh...So this is closer to who he originally was? I see. I'm not sure what to think of that.

    5. I mean... it's not like this is 100% accurate to how he is now, er, rather, what we would be like now. People change, ya know?

      ... Most of 'em. -D. Shard

    6. I suppose...Well, in any case, it's odd to see someone who was so meek turn into something so...playful.

    8. Mental health and wellness.

      ... it's not like I was never "playful," though. I kinda forgot about that at some point. -D. Shard

    9. That's...not good. Being able to enjoy life is what makes it so great.

    10. I understand that on a factual level. It's just
      ... Aahh, you have bigger matters than listening to some nerd ramble about depression. -D. Shard

    11. You should probably start by not insulting yourself.

      I've seen a lot of familiar faces that I would rather not have. My matters have been depressing. So, talking with somebody has been rather stress relieving. Don't worry so much about being a nuisance.

    12. Bah, if I don't do it someone else will. Probably my daughter, heheh.

      ... Thank you for the kind words, though. I ... can't say I fully empathize with your situation, but I'm confident that I understand it. And I'm glad you've found a good way of relieving that kind of stress. -D. Shard

    13. Better her than you. You shouldn't believe it just because someone says it.

      That's worrying if you can understand it at all.

    14. Mmm, I hadn't considered that, honestly...

      Things... happen, though. -D. Shard

    15. Well, find someone to confide in someone about it or confront it in some way. That's not something you want to carry by yourself.

      Thanks. -D. Shard

    17. You can thank me by being mentally well.

    18. I hope I'll be able to repay you, then! (please don't be disappointed if I can't.) -D. Shard

      Delete
    19. I'm not holding my breath. But the only way you can disappoint me is by being Agamemnon.

    20. Well, that's good news for both of us. -D. Shard

    21. Good, you're already doing well.
