How does one determine what is Kizuna and what is authentic emotion?




[Someone is having a crisis. No biggie]

[ ...snugglemonster? Who the hell is this? ]

That's not helpful. I don't even feel like myself here. I don't...

[Doesn't even know who he is, anymore. ]

[gentledawn]

[Blame Zhou Zishu.]

The environment is startling, isn't it? Be patient with yourself. You'll find the answers you need.

[jc_superstar]

[FINALLY. Someone who understands! Thank the celestial heavens! ]

Startling is definitely putting it politely.
I have never had time to be patient with myself. Nor has anyone else. I don't see why that has to start now.

[gentledawn]

I believe in you, Sandu Shengshou. And if you need a place to rest and collect your thoughts, I can make you tea.

[That catches him. He doesn't use his title here and this one knows who he is? And even though he's just reading words, something nudges him.]

I know you? You know me, that much is certain.

[gentledawn]

This is Xiao Xingchen. [He flushes as he recalls his username and he adds, quickly:] My network name was a prank.

[jc_superstar]

Daozhang?

[Why is this place collecting so many he knows?]

How long have you been here? I...was wondering how the names change.

[Clearly he doesn't care enough to learn much about the place.]

[gentledawn]

Greetings. [Apparently their world is liked?]

Almost six months. As for that process...

I have yet to determine how that works. But I am determined.

[jc_superstar]

I am going to meet with someone to learn more about the devices. I will see what I can find.

[Another pause.]

Daozhang...have you met any others who look like us--or like you--and they were not you?

[gentledawn]

You have my gratitude for putting forth the effort. Anything I learn, I will gladly share in return.

[He would have anyway, but details.]

There is a man who resembles Xue Yang - his name is Yu Mingye. He is nothing like that criminal.

[jc_superstar]

If anything, he acts more like Wuxian.

[ Yes, he knows this man. ]

You have met Yu Mingye too, then. No one resembling us, though, correct? Not a double of Wuxian or me or yourself.

[gentledawn]

I did not know Wuxian well enough before to say so. If Mingye is like him, I hope our paths cross more often!

[He likes gremlins. Don't judge.]

He is a dear friend.

Not that I have seen, no.

[jc_superstar]

[ He gives a small hum. It seems as if Xingchen collects souls. ]

Very well. I hope we don't run into dopplegangers of ourselves. It seems... stressful.
