Just a short PSA: starting any rumors about murders is messed up. Don't do it. 0/10, do not recommend.

Other than that, a few things:

1) I'm a part of the student council now, and while I might be new to the job, if there's any assistance that I can help with, please don't hesitate to let me know.
2) I've finished up a guide draft for most subjects -- if anybody wants to take a look at it for any edits or additions, feel free to give me a heads up.

And with that aside, I suppose I have a personal and admittedly selfish inquiry of my own.

If anybody is willing to hear a girl out on a personal matter regarding relationships, I'd appreciate it. It's something that I'd rather do in person, but I just wanted to put feelers out there.

Anyway, that's it from me!

[ There is a rather lengthy pause. ]

It's complicated?

[decrypter]

Communication may help make it less so.

[so she did...how ruthless, Inaba...]

[dereban]

I'm not so sure about that?!

[decrypter]

What is there to be unsure about? Refusing to communicate leaves you unable to actually move forward. Doing so allows you to know where you actually stand. It's very simple, Miss Inaba.

[dereban]

My answer to your first question isn't something that I'd want to talk about on a public network.

While it is true that communication is important in resolving things, the situation itself is a bit more complex than what communication can entirely handle...

There is only so much that talking can do, after all.

[decrypter]

With all due respect, him replying means that the issue was brought into the public eye. One doesn't need to be a genius to understand what happened.

And you seem to misunderstand what communication is, if you think it's talking alone. Actions are folded in under the same umbrella, as part of someone's interactions with another. We act and react on and to others. Hopefully, I'll be able to demonstrate that to you, now that we'll be working together.

[dereban]

People are more likely to make assumptions than truly understand what happened because of his response.

Nevertheless, it isn't as if I'm unaware of actions being just as important. But specifically in this case... conveying things through words is more important.

Besides. If I knew what to do properly, I wouldn't have asked for advice in the first place.

[decrypter]

First you say that words can't resolve it. Then you say words are more important than actions in this case. It seems as though you don't know your own mind, or that you're uncertain of how to commit to it.

Have you ever tried journaling? Not to show it or for a class, but for your own sake? It helps to organize your thoughts without the fear of others' judgement. Some find it a form of release, and you can even destroy the pages afterwards.

[dereban]

My mind is very much a mess right now, as much as I loathe to admit it.

I have been journaling ever since I've gotten here. I basically have a diary for what happens on a day to day basis, so I hopefully won't forget.

[ What good did it do for her last month, though. ]

[decrypter]

Try writing down your feelings instead of facts. No editing, no worrying about things being correct. Just let it flow onto the page, your pen the conduit for emotion.

It will help you breathe, after.

[dereban]

I can try stream of consciousness writing. I'll probably also put a timer on so I don't overdo it.

Here's hoping.

I don't usually write about my feelings often since it tends to be messy. Lately it's just been messier.

But-

Thanks.

[decrypter]

You're welcome.

For the record, it's okay to be messy. I think we all are, inside.
