no i do feel better. i mean it's not an instant fix but i was sort of doing the reverse of this the other day so i'm trying not to be a hypocrite and trying to tell the guilt to shut up and be logical about it. which is a work in progress but what you said helped, hearing it from someone who gets it instead of someone just trying to make me stop feeling bad
[which isn't to say that Isaac isn't trying to stop her from feeling bad, but the fact he can empathize makes it easier to believe.]
noted. and that makes sense. thanks for the honesty i guess
i mean im pretty sure its okay to feel what youre going to feel. getting mad at yourself because you cant stop feeling guilty is just going to make things worse. stuff like this takes awhile to go away, i think its okay if it's not magically better overnight
Speaking of which, she honestly isn't sure what to do with his words. She stares at them for a long, long moment, because he's right, again, but she stil can't quite help feeling that way. Again.
All her friends want her to be okay, and she gets that, she wants the same for them, but it's hard. She's working on it, she's trying, but it's such a relief for someone to say that it's okay for things to take time, that he's not expecting her to be magically better.]
thank you. i didn't even realize i needed to hear that but i really fucking did.
[Yeeeah, probably the best idea. Still, Isaac should probably go look up Madoka at some point, she was pretty nice to him.... well, this is as good of a reminder as any.]

[No, Isaac. You're not. You just got lucky and you know exactly how this feels and how to sort of get through it.]
