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.

Then maybe you should think of what she would think of a situation more often.
It might give you the answers you need.

maybe
then again she did try to steal a suicide mission from me because some giant space lobsters told her to so maybe ill stick to exercising my own moral judgment

[Well then.]

I'm the one who tasked my sister with the mission that wound up killing her.
We all have our reasons for things like that, even if someone else winds up paying the price.
All you can do is live with it, and hope your own judgment doesn't end in heartbreak.

It's alright.
Right now, in my world, I'm doing everything I can for her soul to be saved so she can have a good life when she's reborn.
If you can make it up to them, take that chance.

I'd say you can talk to me about things anytime, but that would defeat the purpose of anonymity.

I hope you can find you peace with whatever you choose.
