I need some advice.

How do you get over losing someone? Whether it's from home or here.

[After finding out Ophilia is gone, he's once again reminded of other lost connections. Gwendolyn, Ravage, Laserbeak, and Mainframe. And like those other times, he's no idea how to deal with his feelings. Part of him hated himself wanting to ask that.]

Also. This is a more peculiar problem. But is there anyone sensitive to their surrounding? Those who can hear the thoughts or emotions of the people around you.

How do you deal with how... loud it gets during the moon cycle? Avoiding people doesn't seem like an option due to the moon's urges.

It's a unique problem fo empath. At least in my case, I do not have full control over my powers, hence why others thoughts can invade mine. I wish I could hear only my own.

[His powers suck and he hates it, even when they are useful.]

I see. I have a few I can rely on, but even then... I'm tired of feeling this way.

I have a friend who has really good regular hearing. She's blind, so her ears overcompensate, I guess. She usually just yells at everyone to shut up... but that might not be your best option!

Option two is do what my sister did. Find the person who's responsible and kill them-- only not, because that changes literally nothing.

I might be able to send a mass telepathic message telling everyone to be silent... But I do not think that would get anyone to stop thinking.

The one responsible for killing my friends is dead, not by my hand.

Still, I do not kill anymore.

Would not work on me. I'm always thinking.

[Is, in fact, thinking about the 'do not kill anyone' thing, along the lines of 'Well, it works for Aang, and I don't say kill indiscriminately, but I hope you don't regret that vow.']

And it doesn't change how you feel. She figured that out before she did something she couldn't take back.

[He's gone through several years with that vow before coming here and is still doing good with that. It would take a lot to break the vow he made.]

I see. Good on her. The taking of life doesn't change much and isn't a choice to be taken lightly.

[But if you're a soldier, it's probably easier... He doesn't write that down. Instead, there's a delay before another reply comes in.]

The ones who killed my friends were already defeated. I still have no clue about who killed my first friend. And... I do not know who to be angry at for taking my friends here. It's not as if they died, they were just sent back to their respective worlds.

[At least he hopes they returned.]
