Theater Kid's March Comes in Like a Lion

[thestarknows]

⭐ Who: Junna Hoshimi... and you!
⭐ When: Throughout March!
⭐ Where: In Yumemigaoka!
⭐ What: March catch-all!
⭐ Warnings: Junna's grappling with some heavy stuff, so... threads could get into parents not being great, some homophobia, and other things. There's also some implicit sleeping together (nothing NSFW though) in the Lisa and Junna thread, if that's a thing you prefer to avoid!

[He'll leave the further questioning about Nene's involvement in her Boss Fight for another time (despite his growing curiosity), opting to focus on the here and now. Quietly, he pulls back an arm from their embrace, rummaging in his jacket pocket for just a moment until he fishes out a tissue packet from within to pass along to her. It's nothing special-- probably one of the freebies passed along to him on the streets of Kihada-- but it should help with the tears more than just her hand, at least.]

It's fine, I don't mind. You can let it all out if you want to.

[She deserves a luxury of a good cry after everything she'd been through, honestly. He'd certainly shed his own tears during this whole ordeal, though he wasn't so secure in his vulnerabilities to let anyone see it, unfortunately.]

... I get it, though. Sometimes you just wind up so stuck in your own head that you can't really see what's around you. Or... talk to others around you, I guess. It's a hard thing to break.

[Lord knows he can't, anyway--]

This is probably the part where I tell you to "always remember that there's people around who care about you", but I know that's easier said than done, too. I wish there was some simple solution I could offer you, but... [He snorts, a little ruefully:] we probably wouldn't be dealing with all of these Disturbances if there was one, right?

[Somewhere, Zeke and Nikki are just screaming "IT'S THERAPY YOU BOZOS!!!!"]

[She takes a tissue from the offered packet, dabbing at her eyes. It's only kind of helping, but the thought is what counts. She sniffles again, before she looks at him.] I-I've had a couple of times I have. Probably... probably a few more, too.

[She laughs again, even if... it's a little weak.]

...yeah. That was it. And I didn't want to bother you all with it, even if.. if that's stupid. I just worried everyone more. [She looks at him for a second, then there's a ghost of a smile at the remark about Disturbances.]

...no, probably not. It was... [He'd know. She looks at him for a second.] I didn't... didn't really understand how bad it was, until I went through it. Being trapped in there, surrounded by... everything, like that.

I guess the solution is complicated. [She looks down.] Talk to people more, remember to share things, and... and maybe stop overworking myself all of the time.
