"All of the ones recently have! Even if they didn't all die at that moment, everyone who was down in the ruins that morning, they're all dead now!" Kaede cried desperately. She clenched her fists and looked away from Roushi. She looked close to tears.

"Then how do I... not let it get to me? Even if some of what it's said is wrong, most of what it's saying is right..."

Roushi just tilted his head. "Have all of them come true? Unless your persona's got a perfect batting average, the 'fate' stuff is complete bullshit." He tapped the side of his head. "You're going into this with the wrong mindset. The visions you get aren't things you should accept as what's going to happen: you have to accept them as things that could happen. More than likely? They're just the worst possible outcome out of many."

He smiled, trying to appear reassuring. The fluffy seals everywhere helped. Hopefully. "Instead of considering them as things that will happen, think of them as warnings; things you should try to prevent... Of course, this is all harder to do than I say."

Roushi put his hand on his chin. "Well, try and keep that in mind, at least. I don't want you holed up in your apartment sending out creepy messages anymore. You need to be more comfortable." He frowned. "Considering how... drastic this has become, I think it might be a good idea for you to have someone close to you at all times. Not only to make sure you don't do something drastic, but if you're with good friends, you'll be happier, which leads to optimism, which will hopefully help you not let your persona not get to you."

He paused. "... If you're ascended, there's a way you could simply get your persona out of your head for a week, but..." Roushi thought for a few more minutes. "... No, nevermind. Too dangerous."

"Someone... yeah..." she clenched her fists on her knees. Hadn't she tried that once before, with Kaji? And that had ended so well. Even now, she didn't think she could spend that much time around him. She hadn't quite forgiven him for what happened down in the ruins yet, even if he had changed.

Roushi mentioned something she could do to shut her Persona up for a week. She nodded. "I'm aware of what you mean. You forget, I used to be a so-called leader... even though my Persona wasn't ascended, a lot of my team was. But it's no use... too dangerous, like you said, and I can't even access that form anyways." She smiled wryly. "I would have taken it down in the ruins that time if I could have."

Roushi tilted his head. "Having trouble thinking of someone?" He put his hand on his chin, as if thinking. "Hmm... Lover boy out there? Family members? Painter friends? Other members of your 'team?'" He shrugged. "I'd totally offer myself, but that'd probably be illegal in some way."

He refrained from doing any eyebrow movements; it was probably one of the better choices he'd made in life.

"I'm not running around with someone being my guardian," Kaede said matter-of-factly. "I tried that shit with Kaji back when he was having issues, and it didn't do shit to stop him from descending and trying to murder everyone in the place."

She stood up out of the pile of seals, causing a series of squeaks to echo through the room. "I can handle my own damn self, alright? I don't need a babysitter!"

"Okawa had his entire family and his best friend butchered. Your problems, from what I can tell, are mainly personal." Roushi crossed his arms. "Even if you think you can handle yourself, I would recommend having someone at least watch you. Humans are social creatures; being with another can keep you sane."

His eyes narrowed. "If you're really going to be so stubborn, then think of the repercussions of the apparent 'leader' of the persona users going loco because she refused to let someone help her." His tone was significantly more serious; whether or not it had to do with Kaede squeaking his seals or if he was just actually being serious was unknown.

Kaede slammed her hands down on Roushi's desk, her expression twisted in anger. She bent over so that she was staring directly at Roushi.

"You've been talking with Sora, haven't you," she said in a low voice. "That's why you're suggesting all of this... shit." She gestured vaguely with one of her hands.

Roushi kept his ground, returning Kaede's glare with calm eyes. "You're ignoring my points and focusing on something arbitrary to avoid the subject. No, I haven't talked with Mori, but if he's been suggesting similar 'shit,'" he brought out the airquotes, "then that kid's smarter than I give him credit for."

He sighed. "If you don't want to listen to my advice, then please tell me how you plan on getting yourself out of this situation." Roushi allowed some worry, false or not, to slip into his expression. "You need help, whether you like it or not."

"Don't call him Mori," Kaede said under her breath, but she didn't cut in with any other objections as Roushi talked. She lowered her head, and tears dripped from her eyes.

"I don't know what to do..." she whispered.

Roushi offered another seal. It looked up into Kaede's teary eyes, silently telling her to cheer up. It looked as though it were asking for a hug, as well. Roushi squeezed the stuffed animal, and it let out a high-pitched squeak. This time, he gave her a small smile. "Then shouldn't you let us help you?"

Squeak squeak. "We only want what's best for you, you know." He put the seal down, still smiling. "From what I see on that forum and from what I saw from lover boy over there, you've got some good friends. And they all want to help."
