Hey. I need to apologize. When we were under attack, I was too scared to do anything. All I wanted to do was hole myself up in my apartment.

I should be better than that. I'm a pilot. Fear shouldn't stop me from doing what I need to do. And to make matters worse, I took a job with the police. I could have put people in danger by not doing my job.

I understand if you don't want to trust me. All I'll say is that it won't happen twice. Not if I can help it.

You shouldn't apologize for something you couldn't help.

[second_destiny]

What do you mean, I couldn't help it? I should have fought against it harder.

[sky_child]

You were sick, right? That's what it seemed like to me... Not everyone can "get over" a sickness.

[voice]

[greatseal]

No one can blame you for that. It wasn't as though anyone chose to be affected.

[second_destiny]

Wait. Hold on. What do you mean by "affected?"

[voice]

[greatseal]

You didn't notice? There were lots of people acting the same way. My - someone I know was, too.

[voice]

[trulyworthit]

It seems like it happened to a lot of people.

I should apologize, too... I was holed up in the apartments, trying to help one person, when I should have been doing my best for everyone.

[second_destiny]

Was it someone extremely important to you? Because if it was, then it's all right. We all have to protect the people we care about.

[trulyworthit]

Yeah, but- I get the feeling, if she was acting normally, she would have scolded me for not thinking of others...

[fracta_anima]

It's fine. You just need to trust everyone here to have your back when things like that come up. Things turned out all right in the end, Asem, and it's not like you were the only one whose head got messed with.

Don't worry about it. If there's a next time we'll give whatever is causing trouble a butt kicking they won't forget!

[second_destiny]

...I guess. If there's a next time.

How many people were affected? I heard that from somebody else, too.

[fracta_anima]

A lot. From what I saw on the Network it had to do with people's birthdays. Specifically their zodiac signs. Like, everyone who went crazy and attacked people were Scorpios and then the people who were afraid were Aquarius and Taurus and something else. I forget what. It likely had to do with the monster who showed up and wrecked everything casting something over the city.

The same thing happened to me. I don't think anyone will blame you.

[second_destiny]

You too, huh? You shouldn't have had to go through that.

[all_wound_up]

No one should have to.

[ He may not have been in an official position to protect people, but knowing he could have helped in even a small way made Taiyou feel just as guilty as Asem. This video... sounded a lot like himself. Ba-dum-tsh. So, Taiyou feels it's only right to express it, in a gesture of reassurance. ]

Don't worry, I trust you. I'll do my best, too!

[second_destiny]

Thanks. That's great to hear from someone.

[ineedthemforanalyzing]

[Oh right.]

You did more than that, Asem.

Or...you tried to, anyway. Besides, I don't think the fear people were feeling then was natural. As far as I can tell 10-20% of the whole city had some kind of anxiety reaction to the event.

[second_destiny]

Yeah. Once. Kind of a token effort.

That's what I'm hearing. They think the monster that appeared was responsible.

[destinedwaters]

Mm... I could say the same, too. [She pauses, before continuing.] I was the same way. Only a few people found themselves magically flung out a window...

[orz]

[second_destiny]

Wait. Flung out a window? What?

[otakuro]

Since you've gotten the flood of 'don't worry about it's - and it's true, listen to them - I'm gonna go ahead and ask.

What's your sign?

That's........ not a pick-up line, really.

[second_destiny]

[That got a chuckle.]

Yeah, I know. It's Leo.

[cowardlyjustice]

Never fear! For we always have yours truly, a great hero who fended off his homepeeps from the Snow Bitch and saved the school! Mwuahahahaha!!

[His eyes then soften.]

But yeah, seriously, dude- it's fine. Everyone's get afraid, I mean, you know there's a saying that courage is being afraid 'cept you still go on. Plus, you're willing to learn from mistake, right? That's the shit that matters, trust'll 'ventually happen.

[second_destiny]

[You have a stare for that first part.]

Yeah, I...know that already. I've been through that kind of thing back home. That makes it all the weirder.
