Shinji:
I know she cares about me, even if only a little. Its more than Ive had in a long time.

@souleaterfan320

That's not what I'm talking about, Shinji. I'll even spare the manipulation talk completely.

[souleaterfan320]

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Good point.

@Stabby

Shinji:
Im sorry you got drug into the never ending pain and drama that is my life.

*Looks at you unamused.*
It's not ok.
Not only would that leave the chance that one of you would be chosen with a bias, but it also renders the whole point of you both leaving mute.
So instead, I can send you both to a place where it would be near impossible for you to harm one another.

@Stabby

*Looks confusedly at you*
When it comes to mental health, wouldn't bias be better? Allowing the one who makes him the most comfortable to stay would be much better for him.

*Smiles.*Please.
If I hadn't, I wouldn't have ever expected to end up saving someone else's life with my skills.

@Techspert

According to mental health, just because someone or something can comfort him doesn't mean it will be good for him in every situation. Kids have to discard their security blankets and some point, and alcoholics either die or put down the bottle. I'm not saying that if he asks for us to let him see you that I'll stop him, but at the same time you can't always be there every step of the way.

@Stabby

No, but this isn't the time or place to do that. Shinji is an adult and I'm his therapist. I have a duty to help him, and he clearly needs it right now.

@Meta

Look. She cares about me and my mind state. I helped secure her freedom, and in exchange, shes helping me with my freedom with my mental hell.

[souleaterfan320]

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

I don't blame you.
*Turns to Hawk.*
So what does this plan of yours entail?

@Stabby

Hawk:
That is something I cannot talk about with the man of interest here. Though he did just ruin half of it by showing up, just now.

@Techspert

This is exactly the time and place to do that. An adult is just a teenager with years of experience behind them who knows how to handle responsibility. That makes him no different from anyone else, especially right now. As a therapist you also have the duty to not get involved in your patent's life and to make sure they can stand on their own again. If he asks for your help I will let him, but that's his choice to make.

@souleaterfan320

*Sighs*
Can you at least accept her going away for now?

@Meta

No. Either get along or it WILL get ugly. Shes my only stable support at the moment, considering ive been on a steady decline ever since dead girl over there died the first time.

Kirina:
*tears up*

Why are you being so mean?

Shinji: oh, fuck you.

@Stabby

That's like asking a patient with broken legs to walk on his own. As his therapist, my duty is to be completely involved in his life until he's ready for me to not be there. He's not yet at that point.

@souleaterfan320

Then when we get the chance to speak privately, I would wish to do so.
Before then though, I would like that you refrain from carrying it out until I can understand the risks.

This is worse than I thought.

... sorry about that, by the way.

It's really not a big deal.

@Techspert

If that was as you claim, he would not be able to speak, decide, or even function without your support. But as it stands he is still himself and can still make some choices on his own. So although you are indeed supposed to be a support and safety net for him, it does not mean that he should have to rely on you completely.
After all, I am not asking you to leave him or stop caring for him. I'm asking you to take a chance that might help him make another step forward without losing what he cares for.
