[TEXT :: LOCKED TO CLOSE CR -- except for GUNMAX, POWER JOE and SHADOWMARU]
I need ... I need advice. About caring for someone. Emotions. It's... There's a complicated situation. I don't know what to do.

[Thanks to this mess, his feelings for someone else are suddenly rushing into the spotlight and HOW DOES HE HANDLE THIS.]

((ooc: if your character is on reasonably good terms with Kagerou, feel free to answer.))

Expert... It's -- it's complicated.

[Birdbrain, you said that already.]

Were you friends? Before you were partners?

Of course. You have to get to know someone before you take a step like that. It helps if your significant other is also your best friend.

... so how did you know? How did you know it was all right to... do other things?

[Like Not-Kissing, wow this would be easier if you had a mouth, bro.]

[He pauses for a minute before answering.]

You mean when you should make that jump? It's all about communication.

Yes. You mean you have to ask. Don't you?

You got it, pal. The key to good relationships is communication. If you can't be open with your feelings, things aren't going to get done. And Kagerou? Don't be afraid to take chances. Spread your wings.

Communication. Talk to him. That's... that's really hard to do. It's never been difficult to talk to him about anything before this. Take chances. Even if that chance could ruin things...?

Communication's important, Kagerou. But the most important thing with a friend OR a partner is honesty. If you can't tell them how you feel, then your pillar is going to collapse.

I believe you... I don't have a choice, do I? I have to... tell him.

That'd be for the best. Trust me, it's the only way to do it where both of you are happy.

If I lose his friendship... I doubt I'll be able to be happy, Rewind.

If your relationship is anything like what I'm summing it up as. Kagerou, please tell him. You're only hurting yourself by keeping it to yourself.

[He doesn't answer for a while, just staring at the message. Rewind always made sense before. He's always been smart, and Kagerou trusts him.]

[So why is this so much harder.]

I'll try.

Good luck, bud. I know you've got this.

Thank you, Rewind. ... For everything.

Anytime buddy. This isn't something you're born with. We all learn.

You're still very patient. There aren't many here who take that time. They assume I should know these things already. So thank you.
