( Jingyi anchored, and thus he's still tired. Very tired. Flopping between areas and people to nap with kind of tired. It hasn't resolved yet, and he hates that, but he can't let him not get around to important questions.

Which is why he's on camera as crossed legs only, laying down on the bench with the ICP swiveled his direction. It's almost like he's shy... but no, he's not, he's just exhausted. )

Everything was a mess and all of us there had strange illusion things to deal with before things went really bad, but I have a question. About my friend.

( A pause. He does, in fact, literally mean this about a friend. )

Say he was in a situation where... certain boundaries were willingly crossed, but what it meant in the illusion was different from what it means outside of the illusion. And explaining what that means and how it's different is kind of important to the one they were crossed with.

( For both sides, but he's more worried about his friend than he is the other guy, for various biased reasons he has no regrets over. )

How do you handle when people here do casual things with 'dating,' but I'm from—he's from—a place where you definitely don't?

[ Jin Ling puts this off for a while, because, he doesn't really know what he wants to say or if he wants to say anything. The last time he tried to get advice from the train it ended up not particularly a grand idea. ]

So I won't ask about how to erase memories again because I don't need more lectures and offers of brain surgery.

But, people say you just move on and get over stuff.

What if you just can't seem to?

[ And you end up isolating yourself off and not knowing how to get out of it and maybe you don't want to get out of it...

But you kind of do. ]

Also, does anyone want to share some wine with me?

[ He is perfectly old enough for it. ]
