Thanks a lot, Rogue-san. You sound like you have a lot of experience in the matter, so I appreciate it.

My friends alluded to something like that once. I...had a bad time before, and I thought the best way to deal with it was to avoid everyone. They got mad at me for it. (//▽//) And that's when I realized I should take care of myself too. But that's different from actually liking myself, I guess.

How about you, Rogue-san? What do you like about yourself?

Well darlin, I gotta agree with your friends, never isolate yourself entirely. It'll only make them worry about ya, and cause more harm than good on most things.

But I am a strong believer in safe spaces. I reckon every single one of us oughta have that lil area where we can take a minute to gather our thoughts and feelings. Have a space where we don't gotta worry about judgement and doin what we love for a short while.

Me? I do fancy my hair. Not a lotta girls got a head full of it like I do!

[luneminary]

A safe space, huh? I never had one of those before. When I'm not interacting with anybody I just...disappear. Yeah - I'd like to have one of those instead.

Oh! I'd love to see your hair sometime. There's this friend I have who has the prettiest blue hair. I got to braid it once, and it surprisingly feels soft to the touch, too.

Disappear? What do ya mean by that?

Sometimes I call my hair a skunk cuz of the different colors, but when we met, I'll let ya play with it. I don't mind at all! Sometimes it be a mess and I can't do a thing with it!

[luneminary]

It's hard to explain, but it's all about cognition. I used to only exist whenever someone is perceiving me. By myself...I'm not Ryoji at all. Just something else entirely.

But that's all in the past now, so you don't need to worry about it!

Sounds like your hair is real special, Rouge-san. Do you want me to braid it for you, too?

[southernchere]

I... think I might get what ya mean. [and it sounds a little sad.] But if ya say it's in the past, Sugar, then it is. Ain't no sense dwellin on it cuz it'll stop ya payin mind to the present.

I'd love that, Darlin! I just hope my hair isn't too big for ya.
