[She listens quietly, as if making an unnecessary noise to agree with her or appreciate her for understanding what so many people didn't would tip the girl back into a cacophony. When she's thanked, she nods. It makes her feel guilty. It makes her think about how she could have continued like that to Sonic, instead of seeing him in person. Would that have changed things? Or did she simply secure a chance to see him before he left?

Her squishy self is of course in hugging range, but since she can't to Doo much else for the time being, Ray is sending different sections of her hair to wrap around objects of comfort and bring them back so that she can make a nice little goblin nest.]

It's hard when even my own thoughts become too much.

[Sometimes you panic so hard or get so angry that you just pass the fuck out. Reira had to deal with so much, and didn't shut down in that way for her own security.]

...Do you ever forget which words are yours? I feel like you're pretty unique.

[Reira just nods- the motion small, trembling, and barely a motion at all. The goblin nest is absolutely appreciated- it's something tangible, something she can hold, while also thinking to herself that her friend is still right here.

It helps her to breathe, and focus a little more.]

...mine are....easy, [she eventually whispers, exhaling with a slow, shaky breath.] ...Ryslig was...always 'quieter'...I...

[She wonders- is this a good thing? A bad thing?] ...it doesn't hurt like...Zarc did...

...everyone's feelings... ...they're not words...but there were a lot, before...here...

[sweartoyou]

[Her patience stumbles when Reira says the name, the lesser part of her brain insisting Zack? Zack?? But she knows that isn't at all what Reira said, and she tries to mentally slap focus back into herself. Pay attention! Knowing about friend is good! Distracting friend is good! Calming friend before draining the life out of her is good. Probably. She assumes it would make it easier?]

There have been people in your head before? Someone named Zarc...?

[gobo_projection]

[Reira shakes her head.] No- ...'s not...

...I just felt...evereyones feelings...everyone around...if...if they were sad...it started to hurt....scared...hurt more...

...Angry...

...hateful... ...Zarc's hate was...biggest, [she says softly.]
