[The young man that appears on the video looks extremely nervous and uncomfortable.]

Listen, with everything going on lately I haven't been able to...

[He sighs, starts over. He hates this. Asking for help is so hard, but he isn't the only one at risk if here.]

I noticed a while back that the more Chroma I have the easier it is to deal with... well... A particular situation that I have at hand. [Oh man, that terrible pun wasn't on purpose and he looks even more uncomfortable realizing that he did it.]

But I'm not very good at collecting Chroma. I have someone back home and I don't want to betray her. I was thinking, though, that for the brief time she was here she was pretty clear that she didn't want me to suffer.

I don't want to either, I guess. [That part is up for debate.]

This is me asking for people willing to help me out.

[He looks frustrated at the whole idea as soon as he says it.]

You know what, nevermind. This is stupid.

Then... what if it's an arrangement of the sorts and not already mutually established?

[hero_of_her]

An arrangement?

[gwenhwyfar]

Like an arranged marriage.

Oh! You're relationship is up to you, I think. If you don't feel that way about your partner, that's okay.

It's personal, I think. For me, I don't want to be with anyone else that way. At least not until I can talk to her about it and work out how we feel about it together.

But, that's not the same for everyone, I think. I've seen a lot of couples here who think it's better to be more free with that kind of stuff.

[Still not entirely his cup of tea, but he's come to terms with the idea that other people want different things.]
