ᯓ⭐ WEEK THREE MINGLE

Happy third week, lovebirds! Here's to hoping you're riding high on the wave of success of one whole pair being correct! Surely you must have an idea by now how to win this thing!

Probably?

The good news is that you're not going to have to find yourselves in any weird clothes this time around, except maybe that just leads to a strange sense of foreboding for a future scenario...? Who knows. You can't quite brace yourself for it this time.

But don't worry, it's not like there's nothing happening. On the contrary!

For the entirety of this week, you'll find yourself feeling... clingy. It's going to start feeling very strange if you're not leaning on someone, holding their hand, cuddling with them, sitting in their lap, stealing a kiss, or engaging in some other form of affectionate physical contact. And if it's someone you're already feeling fond of OR someone you actually can't stand, guess what?

That feeling is doubled!

You may realize this is an unusual feeling, but so what? Trying to ignore it is only going to make it feel stronger and do you really want to make yourselves feel miserable?

Shut up, masochists.

[


hey, twinsies. kind of. enough for oz to pause over, anyway. ]

... I assume that did not go how you expected it to.

[psychs]

No, it didn't. In the end, that reality was shattered, and for the better.

[ He harbors no delusions that he was in the right, at least. ]

[voxnozzz]

[ yes, at least there's that. not that oz finds any particular emotion besides slight surprise that someone like maruki began on a path like that.

... or, hm. perhaps something else, too, that he isn't sure how to process. ]

For the better.

[ he repeats, slowly, as if reminiscing. yes, he supposes it was for the better. ]

... That sort of journey is not taken without purpose. Did you find an answer to what you were seeking in that ambition?

[ in the end, the root is always in the self. ]

[psychs]

[ An answer? That's a peculiar way to put it, though he did find an answer, even if it meant shattering his life's work in the process. What he thought he was, and what he actually was were two different things. ]

I found my answer only once I stopped running away from my own pain and grief. I thought that by resolving the suffering of others, I could relieve myself of my own, but that isn't how healing works. Life is messy, but there's meaning in the joy without the sorrow.

...So that was my answer. I found it in my ambition, I suppose, even if by so doing, I had to leave it behind.

[ So now he has to find a new purpose in life, a new ambition to live for. ]

[voxnozzz]

[ it's a question that comes out of nowhere, he knows. he's not certain if he'll voice the reason for it in this instance, for several reasons.

oz only listens to the answer. it's different, and yet he can find some shred of understanding within it, resting beside the parts he could never hope to comprehend. ]

I see. [ ... ] Be cautious with the burden you have traded for another.

[ "may it be lighter."

he isn't certain how to express that, specifically, so he does not. ]
