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.

Probably the first one.

Oh
I'm sorry to hear that
It's rough when that kind of shit happens

[grapeeater]

It is. But life goes on, right?

[callbacks]

Somehow
Well at least there's a lot of other people here so you're not stuck in a total dead end companionship-wise
Obviously it's not the same as having the friend you had back but
You know
It could always be worse

[grapeeater]

Yeah, that's true. And people keep coming and going all the time.

[callbacks]

Yeah
So there's always gonna be someone to talk to even if you just gripe anonymously into the Pokécyber void
So it doesn't look like there's really any reason to ever be alone if you don't want to be

[grapeeater]

I guess. And there's always your Pokemon to keep you company, even if some of them can be difficult.
