More than distraught, I'm just confused! What you're saying and what I see don't align.

[ He's also just trying to figure things out!! ]

[affligere]

What is so confusing about this? I do not understand.

[cloudalike]

I don't either. It appears we are both lost in this maze of opposing logic. But let's move on for now.

[ He has more questions to ask! ]

Hmm. Do you ever look up at the stars at night?

[affligere]

[Ah?]

No, it is not something I usually do. Is it something I should be doing?

[cloudalike]

Should? Hmm… Hmm. Yes. It is something you should be doing. Look at the stars tonight and then tell me what thoughts passed through your mind as you did.

[affligere]

Okay. I will do this and report to you, as requested.

[cloudalike]

[ Oh, wow... that's... some pretty quick compliance? Well, alright. Good? ]

And, uh, let me know... what you think about loneliness. For example... if we were all to disappear, what would you think? How would you feel, if anything?

[affligere]

[They exist to serve, or something like that.]

...It would be very quiet if all of you left.

[Is that a good thing or a bad thing, though...?]

[cloudalike]

You don't think a break from us would be nice?

[ Asked in as much of a neutral tone as possible. ]

[affligere]

I would need to provide less emergency treatments, which I suppose could be considered "nice".

[But that's a very objective thing, isn't it?

...

Are they dodging the question?? Perhaps.]

[cloudalike]

[ Ducks away from his tablet. ]

I-I'm working on getting stronger! So that won't happen again!

[ He's sorry!! ]

[affligere]

It is not something you are in trouble for, Chongyun. It is simply something that would have preferably been avoided, but it is not like you got harmed intentionally.
