[His sense of guilt? That's definitely an interesting thing to lose.

And since he so willingly answered the question (look, Ouni, it's not that hard!), he will answer back.]

Sort of. I lost my ability to feel sad.
I wasn't too upset about it.

[That's a bad joke.]

[passio]

[ ...................that's a really bad joke, and he's not sure how to feel about it. akira, are you okay... ]

Your sadness... that's important too, though.

[theshowsover]

[Totally fine...]

Yeah. I guess it's similar to guilt.
I'm not sure I would call it important to me, though.

[He's interested in why Dextera feels it's so important to him.]

[passio]

Isn't it? Sadness, pain, fear... all those negative feelings are important. We don't know how to function without them. We can't.

[ his "guilt" is a special case, though the same principle applies! ]

[theshowsover]

I guess that's true.
I definitely felt weird without it.
And when someone was hurting... I couldn't really tell.

[It's hard to feel empathy when you can't feel any sadness.]

[passio]

I'm not glad that it happened, but I think I learned not to take that suffering for granted.

Don't you feel the same way?

[theshowsover]

Yeah, I guess you're right. That was the silver lining.
Still, I'd like to keep anyone else from stumbling into the same trap, if possible.

[passio]

Of course.

I didn't tell Izuku much about what happened, but maybe one of us should.

[theshowsover]

I told him the basics. I can tell him more about the aftereffects, if you're okay with that.

Sounds like everyone ran into something pretty nasty.

[passio]

I don't mind.

[ he just didn't want to be the one to worry izuku, selfishly. ]

The more information spread between us, the better. Even if it's uncomfortable. Do you know what happened to the other groups?

[theshowsover]

[And Akira didn't want people worrying about him. They're both being a bit selfish, perhaps.]

So far, I've heard of a group being put in a maze with a minotaur, a group whose limbs and extremities fell off their bodies, one person said they were attacked by plants, one person said they were attacked by old women that tried to eat them, and my roommate and his group ran into demons that tried to tempt them into taking a deal.

[passio]

That's a lot.

It almost feels like we got off lucky in comparison.

[theshowsover]

I agree.

[Which is why he wishes people would stop asking him if he's okay.]

[passio]

All I can say is that we probably shouldn't return to the forest unless we have to.

I'm sure this town won't let us stay away for long, but for now, please take care of yourself, Akira.

[theshowsover]

I agree with that.

You take care of yourself, too.
