My Mom's back in my home country, but I've also heard that nobody outside of Recolle knows anything about this.

Not that most of the people *in* the city know about it...

Everyone's been nicer than I expected though. And it's easier to talk through text than in person.

[strawberrypunch]

Its just recolle i think

Text is alot easier though

I didnt use it much before but now i do alot

[It helps that he actually has friends to text now.]

[sunnyspot]

Yeah...

Actually, my hearing isn't very good, so it's simpler this way.

But I'm not great at talking to people in general, so this is still challenging.

[strawberrypunch]

Oh

[He wasn't expecting that answer. Huh.]

Im not used to talking to people either

So i had to learn a lot too

[sunnyspot]

Sorry, was that too personal?

If it's something that can be learned, I'll get better with practice, but...

Having to practice at all is a challenge. Did it take you long?

[strawberrypunch]

Its not

I didnt have many friends before i came to recolle so thats why

Im still learning but im getting better

[sunnyspot]

So you're like me.

...I don't really have any friends either. I try not to get close to other people.

But everyone on Retrospec has been kind to me, and cared about what I have to say. I'm not used to it.

Maybe I'll learn with time too. Maybe.

[strawberrypunch]

I made a lot of friends through retrospec

Its a good place to start

Plus everyone gets it when weird things happen

[If nothing else, it does foster a sense of solidarity...?]

[sunnyspot]

I guess it won't hurt to try.

Since we all have something in common.

...Thanks.

[strawberrypunch]

For what?

[sunnyspot]

For giving me advice. I feel better about this now.

[strawberrypunch]

Oh

Youre welcome
