[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Hello again! Are you used to seeing my string of letters and numbers yet? I think I've spoken to you all often enough, or it feels like I have. It's Caramia!

This may feel a bit impersonal, as I am addressing all of you, but I hope you'll find comfort anyway. Even if you just needed it a little bit. Most of you have probably been victim to the constant proding and poking from the furniture, which is a sentence I never thought I'd write or say, but I'm sure I'll say stranger. Know that you're not alone, know that we realize it can be agonizing, and if you are tired or frustrated, know that above all else, we should understand. Obviously I can't speak for everyone, or even to everyone, but this is just for those who need it, I suppose?

We can get through this. If no one else, there's at least one person who believes in you.

Feel free to chatter with each other! Maybe give a compliment to someone? Say something nice? Counter all the negativity, if you will. If not, I'll be here for you. And if you'd rather not speak publically, I'm not hiding. I'll be in Ruga if you need an ear.

[ Dad... What are you doing, this is embarrassing... ]

That is truly an inspirational speech, Caramia-san. It is earnest and outstandingly thoughtful. However, I speak from experience when I say some people might troll you online for this...

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ LET HIM LIVE.... ]

I'm guessing troll means made fun of? Don't worry, I actually expect to hear something like that from my best friend-- I'm well prepared!

It's something I'm willing to endure if this helps at least someone who needed it.

[doublecrowss]

[ OKAY BUT..... ]

Precisely. Although I suppose it is easier to accomplish back where I come from. I don't think anyone has figured out a way to be anonymous in this network so far.

But I admire your initiative, and I can relate to it. Standing up for your beliefs even though you're opening yourself up to harsh criticism certainly takes courage.

You're an idiot.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Oi, I said "something nice".

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ He's doing his best. ]

Well, to those who have yet to reveal who they are around here are still technically anonymous in their own regards. There's probably even a good handful who don't care that they're known?

Thank you, though!! See, you're already getting the positive train going.

[ He's probably just saying that because he pitied walking in with things calling you a coward. ]

[crowsigliere]

Consider it praise, then.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

In what world is it praise to be called an idiot?

Hello, Caramia-san--it's Minato. It's good to see a message like this with everything that's going on.

Have you been doing okay yourself?

[doublecrowss]

That is true. However, there are not very many of us currently in this place; even those who have yet to reveal their identities could be easily tracked.

[ You know, for a detective and all. But what Caramia says next does surprise him a little-- that hadn't really been his intention, but: ]

Ah, I suppose I am. And since I truly do wish others will follow your advice, I promise you I will try my best to be as inspiring as you.

This is a very kind thing to post, Caramia. Right now what everyone needs is more positivity. Hopefully all of this stops soon.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Hopefully, everyone thinks the same? I know it's hard to appease everyone, though.

"Okay" might be relative. Considering our situation, I'm doing fine!

Re: #21AAAC

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

I'm sure it will! Most of us are working so hard, the town won't have anything to complain about soon enough.

[messianic]

I guess that's true, but... if you're ever not feeling fine, that's okay too I think. You can let other people support you too, just like you're supporting others.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Hey now, that's my line! Thanks, signore. That means a lot! However, I'm not exactly afraid of letting people know how I'm feeling.

[ Unless that feeling is "sick", of course. ]

[messianic]

That's good, then. You never know--a lot of people try to keep their feelings to themselves, but leaning on other people isn't necessarily a bad thing if you can trust them with it.

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

Don't I know it. If you see Kyrie around sometime, you should tell him that much.

[messianic]

[... Ooohhh. He shouldn't. Probably.

But he's gonna anyway, because he's so curious about Kyrie after all of this "WRITE ME A REPORT" nonsense.]

Does Kyrie-san have trouble expressing his feelings sometimes?

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

I don't think I should go talking about it too much in public. You should ask him.

[messianic]

[...Well, Caramia's right, and Minato won't deny that. Prying into someone else's business in public isn't a good idea either way.

It's not like Kyrie will tell him if he asks, but...]

You're right. I'll do my best to understand Kyrie-san on his own terms.

[He'll focus on less touchy subjects.]

Are you two friends, then?

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

He's my consigliere and best friend, actually! We go waaaay back!

[ "You should have seen him back in the day. He didn't have the best memory, but it didn't make him any less clever! He was so generous, too, and" ...

Caramia held the backspace key, quickly, trying again soon after. ]

He's got kind of a bad attitude, but he really means well in the end. He's never overly malicious and most of the things he does is for a reason of some kind. He always thinks he's right, but only because usually he is. He's kept me out of trouble more times than I can count and I wouldn't ask for someone better. We work together so well!

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

I guess so. I also only personally met about half the people here.

[ Inspiring...?! You can't see it, Akechi, but he's giving you the excited eyes. ]

I look forward to seeing what you accomplish!!

this is really nice of you caramia!

i think as long as we all try to support each other and work together, we will get through this.

[It's ok Caramia, Estelle is taking you 100% seriously, unlike some people here.]

[ifionlyhadthecourage]

[ That's because Estelle is a sweet sunshine child, unlike some people. ]

My thoughts exactly! Especially in a situation like this. It's a little like a temporary famiglia, isn't it?

[brightlyshines]

[A sweet sunshine child with a big stick and a temper, you mean--

Though that word gives Estelle pause.]

a famiglia?

is that like a family?

[it sounded like the word, anyway.]
