Do androids dream of electric sheep?

Michi stopped before the door of the school therapist's office. She sighed softly. Am I really doing this? Too late to back out now, she figured. Pushing open the door, Michi poked her head in. "Hello?" |

Roushi was currently in the process of taking one of his stuffed seal dolls and tossing it up into the air, catching it as it fell and repeating the process. Fiddling with the stuffy, fluffed thing was a source of great joy. And then Michi walked in. He froze up, catching the seal toy, before moving only his arm as he quickly put it back underneath his desk. As if nothing had happened, he swiveled his chair and turned towards Michi with a smile, somehow knowing her name off the top of his head. "Hargrave-chan! How're you doing? Need anything?" |

Michi smiled politely at the therapist, wondering how he knew her name. Then again, he might have been required to memorize every student's name to take the job. Taiyotono tended to have bizzare rules. "Hello sensei. I thought I might talk to you, since I've had some things weighing on my mind... Do you have time now?" |

He shrugged. "Time? I always have time. I'll have time until I die! Whether or not I choose to use it on my job, however, is technically up to me." Roushi grinned. "But yes, I'll listen to your problems. Take a seat." Roushi stretched his neck a bit, waiting for Michi to sit down. When she did, or if she didn't but things went on too long and got awkward, he looked over at her. "So, what's the problem?" |

Michi nodded and sat down. "Well, I've been having some trouble with my family life... I don't see my parents much, but I really don't mind that." She suddenly became very fascinated with her hands. "I don't get to see much of my two cousins though, and that bothers me. Micchan is gone a lot because of her job and Marcus-kun just goes missing for months at a time. I try to talk to my other friends so that I don't get lonely, but it doesn't help. I miss both of them, but Midori I miss the most. I... I sometimes wonder if she resents this life we share..." |

Oh. No attempted murder or anything. Roushi was vaguely disappointed. Just family stuff... So her parents were gone, but she didn't care about them. She was more concerned about her cousins, who are apparently gone most of the time. Roushi wasn't entirely sure what to say. He had a couple ideas, but he'd need to know mroe. He frowned. "... The life you share? What do you mean?" |

This was thin ice, Michi thought. Better to approach it carefully. "Well, we live together, but we have a... different relationship than just as cousins and roommates. I think that she resents that, even though she denies it..." Her eyes started to well up. |

Roushi blinked. Oh, well shit, she was crying. That was always awkward. "Hey, hey, relax." He reached back and gently tossed a stuffed seal at her. "Hug a seal. It always helps." He knew that it'd be a bad idea to press further, but what was going on?... Were they fucking? Roushi mentally shrugged. Knowing Nagashima, probably. He didn't inquire further. Sighing, he leaned back in his chair a bit. "Well, why not just ask her? Talking's the best way to solve any problem." He paused, thinking. "And if you've already tried that, then what do you think is best? You probably know your cousin better than I do. If you think she resents the relationship, then do you want to change it?" |

Michi caught the stuffed seal and squeezed it. It said hello to her, and she replied back with a soft hello. "If it were as easy as talking to her... I've asked her before several times, but with her job the ability to lie and be believed is necessary... I don't know if she's lying to me..." Michi shook her head. "If she doesn't want this, then I want to know." |

Roushi continued thinking about it. "Hmm... Well, have you considered just not caring?" He blinked. "Okay, that was worded terribly. But really, think about it. If she really dislikes the life you share, why would she lie? Only reasons I can think of is that telling you would have no purpose, in which you couldn't do anything anyway, or she doesn't want you to worry. If it's the latter, then just follow her wishes and don't worry. If she really cares about you, then that'll make her a lot happier than changing your entire lifestyles around." |
