If it were that easy...
"I'm afraid that she's still here only because she doesn't want me to be alone. Almost like a pity date, I guess. I don't want pity, I want actual affection. I want her to love me, not watch over me like it's her job..."

Michi sniffled.
"Why can't she love me?"

"You're afraid that she thinks that of you. Question: Are you your cousin?" He looked Michi in the eye. "No, seriously, are you? Because it's Nagashima and everyone looks the same half the time." He grinned, waving his hand in a dismissive gesture. "Jokes aside, though, really, are you your cousin? Are you completely and utterly sure that's what's happening?"

Roushi sighed. "At this age, a lot of girls tend to read way too much into things. Your cousin probably likes you just fine. Just chill. And if, somehow, you're completely and utterly sure of what's going on, then just tell your cousin what you just told me." He shrugged. "It might be a bit awkward, but it'll be better for both of you to know what's up in the long run."

Michi giggled a little. She liked this therapist.
I know... I just hate being lied to. I know that she thinks it's to avoid hurting me, but I don't want to hurt her either."
Michi looked up at the ceiling, blushing a little.
"I love her."

Considering he lived in Nagashima, Roushi briefly entertained the possibility that little Michi liked her cousin in that way. He shrugged the thought off. It was none of his business, and didn't make much difference in the long run, at least for him. "She's your family. Of course you love her."

He sighed. "And besides, if she lies because she doesn't want to hurt you, then she's gotten at least like you, if not love. Just relax. You're in high school. You've got other things to worry about."

Michi sighed.

"Family, yeah... I guess so... I don't know. I just want to be happy, you know? If she doesn't want to be with me, we can both move on to a better life."

She squeezed the stuffed seal [haha alliteration] again.

"I hate myself sometimes."

The seal was soft and fuzzy and adorable. Roushi shrugged. "You're not gonna be happy if you keep worrying about this." He tilted his head. "Come on, why would you hate yourself? You're a spry young woman of... something years old with your whole life ahead of you, and you seem reasonably kind to me. What's there to hate?"

"Everything, sadly."

Michi shook her head.

"I don't care about anything other than my cousins and my three friends. How's that for what's to hate? I know that I'm messed up, but my parents didn't want to accept it. I know I'm messed up, and I don't care, but I know that Midori does. And she should."

Roushi shrugged. "You seem perfectly normal to me, Hargrave-chan. If you keep thinking that you hate yourself, then you really will become someone worth hating." He bit his lip. "Really though, you're not jumping out as me as 'messed up.' Can you tell me what you mean by that?"

"Well, I'm dating my cousin. We aren't blood relatives, but I'm still having sex with a family member."
Wow, that was blunt. Perhaps a bit too blunt.
"And I know that I'm going off the deep end. Not that I care, but my cousin will. I talk to my dolls because they talk back. And that isn't normal to most people, I think. I don't care what most people think, but I do care what Micchan thinks."

Roushi snorted. "So is half the town, probably."

Then, he shook his head. "Nah. Doesn't seem like you're going off the deep end. I'm not exactly qualified, but there are a lot of things that could explain your talking dolls, and not to mention?" Giving a warm smile, he leaned back in his chair and crossed his arms. "You're talking to me in the first place. You're informing me about this. Someone really off the 'deep end,' as it's used in popular culture, would just hide it all inside and snap and go kill a bunch of people."

He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the desk. "And you seem perfectly nice to me, Michi-kun. Quite eccentric, but you're not too far off from the rest of the school from that regard." Roushi paused. "I do have several people I could recommend you to regarding your mental status, though. Would you like me to help you with that?"
