[ dion's eyebrows lift and shoma's shoulders slouch. ]
It's...been hard. [ he won't deny that. ] Most people at home don't really know, and it gets difficult dealing with them. But they do know something's weird.
[ and it's hard to deal with when people pick on you relentlessly for something that isn't even your fault. ]
It was a little weird here, too, since my profile lists my age as 12 so nobody had a reason to think differently. People were a lot nicer though. For a while, Mizuki was the only one who knew the truth. But I did tell Dahut and Scien. I was...hoping to learn more from them, to see if maybe there was a way to fix myself.
Yes, but not about that. I know what caused me to be this way. I just wasn't sure what I could even do to try reversing it. But...given the things Scien and Dahut study and the experiments they've done on their own, it's given me some things to think about and research myself to try and understand what my options could be. If I chose to pursue all of them, that is.
Scien asked me what my true age was the first time we spoke, and when I learned a little more about what it is they do at their institute, it felt a little more okay to explain and ask further questions.
[ nodding to the comment about the french...they were in fact brilliant and it's part of why he misses their companionship even though they're both the way they are.
but to the rest. it is a regrettable thing to share. ]
Believe me, I wish it wasn't something we shared either. I don't think that's an easy thing to live through no matter how it happens or how old you are. [ it sucks! ] But we just...figure out a way to keep going. Even if it feels impossible sometimes.

Were they able to offer any advice? What has caused you to become this way...?

[ sighs ]
Still, it was a terrible way to lose a parent. I... regret that this is something we share.

That is true. I hope you find a way to keep going, my friend. Remembering that you may rely on others to do so.

That...feels like a lesson a lot of people have been trying to teach me lately. Does it really seem like I might not? [ yes. it does. ]
no subject
I have full faith in you, my friend. 'Twas merely a reminder.
no subject
Well, thank you. Think it's a reminder we can all use. [ ... ] ...Dion, where is this tram going?
