[Rolo has not been having a good time since everyone's memories came back. He's mostly dealt with this by staying home curled up in bed and ignoring the network completely, but after a few days he's finally desperate enough to pull the network device thing back out.]

Is there anything like a therapist in this city?

[He's not even thinking about shit like going anon right now. That would probably be a bad sign, if his standard preference for anonymity didn't necessarily preclude people knowing about said preference.]

I'm surprised not everyone is, if the same thing's happening for everyone else.

[conflictresolution]

Many are struggling, yes. Each has their own coping mechanisms. Is asking for help yours?

[heartstopping]

Coping with an issue and trying to fix the problem aren't the same thing.

[conflictresolution]

Often times you require both methods.

[heartstopping]

There won't be anything to cope with if someone can just fix whatever's wrong with me.

[conflictresolution]

You understand that's not how therapy works. They provide tools for you to fix whatever is wrong with yourself.

There are other methods, but they also won't fix your issue just make it easier to push to the background.

[Or make it worse.]

[heartstopping]

I'll do what I have to. You don't have to nitpick my wording.

[conflictresolution]

So you're willing to do whatever it takes then?

[heartstopping]

Haven't I said that already?

[conflictresolution]

Well then, let me know what I can do to assist you.

[heartstopping]

If I think of something, I'll let you know.

[He won't.]

[conflictresolution]

Of course you won't. There's no need to put up a front of a lie, boy. I've seen what you are in the rubble.

[heartstopping]

[Yeah, he does not love that. Nor is "what he is" something he really wants to think about right now, let alone argue with this guy about.

So he simply doesn't respond.]
