Where's Dear Abby when you need advice?]

Have you ever been in a situation
Where you knew something somebody else didn't
And you weren't sure if you should tell them or not
Like you knew that if they found out they'd be really upset but there's also nothing they could do about it
And you don't want them to blame themselves
Or
Get mad at you
But pretending it didn't happen feels
I don't know
A lot like lying I guess
What would you do in those circumstances?

I'm asking for a friend.

Yeah.

I do.

[faintwaves]

Chances are she loves you as a friend, too. And both of you will find it in your hearts to do the right thing, whatever it happens to be in your case.

I know it's weird, what kind of advice is relying on your heart? But I know too that your heart is one of the strongest things you've got for deciding right and wrong. Small or big, it's a light that guides you through dark times.

[Ummmmmmm.]

I'll
Keep that in mind?
Have a real uh
Tete a tete with my bloodpusher

Thanks though
I mean it

[faintwaves]

[Remember. Disney Princess.

Or at least a clone of one.]

You say weird stuff.

[Kinda like someone familiar to her.]

Your "bloodpusher" has some good morals is what I'm saying, kind of like Jiminy Cricket.

[...Where does she remember that name--dammit Sora and your stupid memories.]

I guess it can't hurt to at least try to listen to it in lieu of a crickety advisor

[faintwaves]

Yeah, the only crickets I've seen here are Kricketot and Kricketune, and they're more into making music than talking.

Just try to trust it a little bit and I think you'll be okay.

Ok
Thanks again

[faintwaves]

Hey, it's all right. You're doing the best you can for your friend right now, I understand that. So, again: good luck to you.
