Not quite. It worked because I was facing everything, at all. I stopped burying the feelings, and let them come to the surface.
[He lets out a sigh.]
I can make some snacks, as well. Shared food is one of the best relievers of stress I know.
[Quietly:]
As for my final thoughts on the matter... If it had been me, I would have called for someone experienced with counseling, as well as a doctor. Someone with... compromised emotions towards Sweeney should not have been involved, in any way. In Azul's case, he has his rough history.
But, on the opposite end of that - someone who cares deeply about him... Would they even be able to see past their personal feelings, to give the kind of help needed? Or would they focus more on trying to comfort, entirely?
Neither of those things seem they would be helpful, in a case like this, where he was... instantly a mess from the start of the Flood. The injuries came from within - from bottled feelings. If comfort and reassurances could have been enough to help with a case like this, I feel the abrupt injuries would not have been quite so severe...
[But he's said a lot, and Azul is recovering from shock... so he fades into quiet for a moment.]
