-Just a voice this time around, Lady Gardens. And one that sounds very, very unsure. But she's been turning this over in her head for awhile now, and she needs help.-

Um... H-hello... I don't usually use this thing for this sort of business, but...

Um...

What do you do when you have someone you care about... really and truly do... someone you are in love with, and... They can't return your feelings because of some conviction that has nothing to do with how their heart may or may not feel? We had a fight, and haven't talked in awhile, and... I want to see her again, but that argument still lingers in my heart...

I just need to know... that I can be loved...

[Parchment unrolls from the vine, the text singed into it, the smell of char floating around.]

Maybe you can find her and say you're sorry.

[imperial_ray]

But... I'm not sure what I did wrong.

[mother_of_god]

Sometimes people just get mad at you and you have to say you're sorry anyway.

[imperial_ray]

But it would be an empty apology. She deserves more than that.

[doc_holi]

[Ah. She knows that feeling.]

... Have you tried talking to her?

[imperial_ray]

I've no idea what to say...

[doc_holi]

You could always try to apologize about the argument? Even if you still stand by whatever side you were on, you can still apologize for it happening at all.

You obviously didn't want things to go this far after a fight.

[imperial_ray]

But I can't do that until I know how to continue from that point.

[gun_cata]

Ah jeez. I'm not very good at relationships, but what exactly is it about, if it's not too private to ask?

[imperial_ray]

I'm not sure if I should detail the specifics.

[gun_cata]

If it's too private, you don't have to tell me. So... do you think she loves you, and is just holding back because of this?

[imperial_ray]

... I... yes, I think she does. But I'm not certain. And I think I assumed too much about her feelings, too. But not so much that she would treat me in such a way.

Have some text

[tookupthesword]

I think you should first resolve whatever that fight was about.

[imperial_ray]

But how?

[tookupthesword]

I don't know what it was about, so I can't say.

[imperial_ray]

...

I don't mean to offend, but that's not very helpful.

[voice]

[mnementomori]

[she hasn't heard that voice in a while, but...]

Dizzy? Is that you? It's Xion.

Um--I'm sorry. That you're having trouble. [she's thinking of what it would be like if Sora were like that, how it would hurt.]

So, you're saying that...she's avoiding you? Do you know where she is? Maybe...maybe she's afraid she hurt you and doesn't know how to say it.

[imperial_ray]

Xion... I'm sorry we don't speak as often as we used to...

I was the one that left Ky, in this case. I couldn't... face her. After how she treated me. But now I wonder... if that was right.

[mnementomori]

It's okay...we can fix that. [she tries to sound encouraging. Dizzy seems to need it.]

Oh...so...maybe she thinks you're mad at her? But it sounds like maybe you both should apologize...if she said something that hurt you.

But...but you're definitely loved. I love you, Dizzy. You're my friend.

[not in the romantic sense, since Xion's idea of love is still perhaps a little too pure.]

[fionna_time]

You sound like you can be loved, man. I can hear that in your voice!

But if its a thing they're dealing with, you could maybe offer to help her along. I know these other gals were saying you should apologize, but maybe its not about that, but more about her, you know?

[imperial_ray]

She doesn't seem interested in even questioning her beliefs...

[fionna_time]

Try to make her see YOU dude. Beliefs are something that, like, people set up for themselves because they help you. So liking you, isn't that worth having a belief in?

-Ky thought about it for quite a while but no matter her opinion it isn't fair to leave Dizzy upset if she can do something about it. The problem isn't in Dizzy, after all, so much as the situation. She feels uncomfortable seeing some of the advice Dizzy is getting.

But she doesn't want to make Dizzy feel like she has to answer, so text it is.-

You absolutely don't owe me an apology.

[imperial_ray]

-Oh... dear. She wasn't expecting this, even if it was public and all.-

But... what should I do, then? I just want to know why... why it's so wrong for us to be us.

[reverentresistance]

-Ky already suspects she should have ignored this, that she'll only be making things worse.-

Because sometimes we need to be in control of our desires.
