So. What do you do when you want to talk to a shrink. But the one best likely to deal with you is you. And the attitude of any others makes you want to make the shrink quit their job and vanish and show up three towns away.

Yeah. One Shrink ended up being Freudian and said I had some complex with my mother and doing her.

Another struck me as being a pretentious windbag, so I suggested she find work in a more physically active and challenging field. Which she's doing very well for herself now.

And they all start looking at me with this disapproving look when I tell them I deal in loans and business.

Why do they get all disapproving??

Apparently they or their families took out big loans.

And forgot to consider interest on late payments.

Which ain't my problem if they're a bunch of mooching deadbeats who didn't work out or plan out the fact they might have hiccups.

Well.

That's fair, I think.

Point is.

All these shrinks are no help, and the only one that probably would make sense is objectively useless since she and me are like oil and water.

And.

Fuck everything. Just fuck. Everything.

It's. Just. Like.

What am I supposed to objectively do. When nothing seems to want to work!?

Well...

I dunno really. Maybe shrinks themselves aren't a good idea??

Is there someone else you could talk to, that you'd probably trust the word of?

... Dunno.

No one besides you and Adam really is willing to give me the time of day. Well. The other me is to a degree. But. That's business.

I dunno who talk to.

And they'd have to be willing to be a chew toy. Since messing with people is kind of a stress squeeze ball for me.

Maybe you should get to know more people!

Or, I dunno, talk to Shikou?? He's pretty straight-forward about stuff.

People think I'm ass.

... That's a good suggestion.

If Shikou didn't terrify me and make me want to hide under my bed.

Yeah, but.

At least he'd probably not give you disapproving looks or be insufferable about things?

But he's ULTRA SCARY and "Kneel before Zod!". I mean he doesn't act like that.

But he's got this. Atmosphere weighing down on you.

Really?? I never noticed.

... Oh right. You're still a relative normie.

Basically. I can "see" him.

And Shikou is fucking terrifying when you can "see" him.

Though as far as talking to people. Making friends. How do I even do that.

I don't even know people who would bother being around me.

Besides you, of course.

Well... there's a lot of people around! It might be hard to really get to know anyone, but if you see someone new on the community-- why not talk to them?

...

"Hey, you want a cheap loan with a 500% interest rate, I know a guy".

Yeah, no.

Umm, I mean more like... introducing yourself and trying to make friends, Noriko-chan.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO INTRODUCE MYSELF OR BE PERSONABLE, Setsuo.

And while I don't think our relationship at this point is fake, Shikou and the Impostor had to basically force us at shotgun to be with each other.

I mean.

Yeah, that's true. Hnmm...

I could introduce you to people??

What is there even nice to say about me:

"Hi hello, this is my girlfriend, she's got envy inducing clevage and she's an all-consuming black hole loan shark with a hobby of turning people into worse versions of themselves and a hair trigger temper."

Can you lemme try it, at least?

Sure.

Not like I have much left to lose.

Though maybe I'll. Try go and talk to Shikou.

Alright!

Um... Good luck. I might not be able to see what's scary about him, but I think he'll listen, at least!
