[ Noah felt bad on his own, that had nothing to do with her. ]

Yes, it's weird. Does weird make it impossible?

[closewithnewintown]

[SHE MADE HIM FEEL WORSE THE EASE OF IT DOES NOT MAKE IT BETTER]

Impossible things happen all the time. Most of my daily life back home was impossible things! And that's why I know they don't just happen for no reason.

... Did you know that me? The me I'm supposedly forgetting. Because she's gone. Just like whoever Noah was. Those people don't exist anymore.

[adsum]

Okay.

[ What is she supposed to be feeling here, Stephanie, what is she supposed to be caring about, because she's finding that she doesn't. ]

You won't find your reasons from me. You and me, we weren't ever friends.

[closewithnewintown]

Kinda been working off the assumption that you've never had friends. That doesn't mean you didn't know people.

I woke up here in March. A lot of us did. [less and less...] What happened in February? Because I'm starting to think the answer was, "I was in Lazytown, like always," and you guys are the ones whose memories got messed with. It's not like it would be the first time, right?

[adsum]

[ Hm. It's not like she can claim to never have noticed miss bright pink hair. But there's a difference between knowing of somebody, and knowing them, and Maya makes a point not to do the latter. ]

Each person's reality is their own, made of their own experiences. Arguing the validity of my memories versus yours is a waste of my time. You're better off talking with the counselor about this stuff.

[closewithnewintown]

Him? He's even scarier than you are. And he only sees you if you get caught murdering somebody.

[glances at door]

Which is another weird thing, because that's usually something you go to jail for. Murder. But, here, you just get a visit to the counselor's office, or a presidential office.

[adsum]

[ She also glances at the door, where sounds of sobbing can be heard, and she looks away again. ]

That's how it is here.

[ Weird, huh? Who is she to fight it, when it gets her brother help and herself presidential office. ]

[closewithnewintown]

It shouldn't be. And it won't be.

[she pauses, giving the door another long glance.]

If I give you this [holds up melonpan], will you give it to him when he comes out?

[adsum]

[ It shouldn't be, but it is. As for whether it won't be in the future... ]

I would. [ not that she holds her hand out to take it, though ] But why not give it to him yourself? His session is almost over, and it's not like you have anywhere to be.

[closewithnewintown]

... Um. I don't... like seeing him. Like that.

[it hurts.]

[adsum]

Neither do I.

[ But she's still here. She still waits for him every day and walks him home, because she is his sister. So friends don't go that far, it seems. ]

[closewithnewintown]

[not if the friend wants to sleep more than two hours tonight.]

... Please? [holds out the bread.] I don't know how to help him the way he needs helping. I'll still keep trying.

[the preternatural ability to know exactly how to help someone hasn't been passed on to her yet. she's never wanted it more than here.]

[adsum]

[ ...She takes the bread off Stephanie's hands, and holds it in front of her lap. She'll give it to Hiro, who will likely be happy to hear that it's from Stephanie, but is this the way he needs helping?... ]

If you want to help him, don't give up on him. It doesn't matter if you don't know what you're doing, or if you mess up and hurt him in the process. As long as you're trying, he will know, and that will help.

[closewithnewintown]

I won't, not ever. Friends don't ever give up on their friends.

... That makes them pretty useful. [because y'know while she's here why doesn't she just nudge her brain a bit towards bomb-oniichan.] Something to think about.

[and then she's off, twirling her hoop, why is she playing, it hasn't been playing this entire time this is just how she deals with anxiety.]
