[text sn: healerprincess] Rumors keep falling on my head

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ Lately, especially in the wake of transformations and people getting wounded, you might have heard some of the Prismals start talking about a particularly strong rumor as the floods settle down.

"Have you heard of the Healing Monster? They say she comes in a red dress, and snatches up anyone who's wounded out in the streets."

"She's terrifyingly adorable! I heard her warn someone about being reckless because she couldn't heal them if they turned into tomato paste!"

"I saw her trip up a petty robber and then heal his wounds while the Moon Knights dragged him away!"

"I want the Healing Monster to terrorize me!"

It sounds so stupid, and yet someone, absolutely clueless that she fits the description perfectly, shows up on the network one day and asks, ]

Lately, I've been helping out Prismals who got wounded due to the violent floods and other accidents but they keep giving me these weird looks. Anyone know why that is?

If it gets bad enough, just make sure they're too scared to ever bother you again. Not saying you need to actually hurt anyone or anything, it's fine if they just think it. Well, in my case my reputation made people plenty willing to believe I could do just about anything...

Come to think of it, that probably wouldn't really help you all that much anyway.

[ Thinking about it, being so scary that no one would come to her to get healed was... a problem. Too much of one, really. ]

Yeah, you're right.

So far, no one outside a person I know has really turned away my healing abilities.

Gotta be pretty stubborn to turn down medical care, honestly.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

I know someone who has. It made me wonder if I was being too forceful.

[resenting]

This probably sounds pretty obvious coming from me, but you can't force somebody to trust you.

[im_gonna_heal_u]

You're right. Which is why I've been giving that person space.

Still, the fact that I might have actually broken someone's trust in the first place feels awful.
