Getting Retrospect.

[liberal_arts]

That will do it, I suppose. Do you have a preferred poison?

[totallynotanoni]

I don't discriminate when I intend to get drunk, though beer is usually when I drink.
I'll usually buy something different for special occasions.

[ Beer was the easiest to get ahold of as a teenager. Mom never noticed a few missing cans after she'd opened a pack. ]

[flowrite]

[Fai wants to protest that he'd thought they were working on becoming friends again, so why wouldn't he have Kasen's number still? But maybe he's wrong, maybe he's misreading the situation. Like usual.

It's a bad brain month already.]

I'm glad you're ok, by the way. After everything that happened last month.

[liberal_arts]

Do you have preferences when it comes to beer? I've heard from friends there's quite a lot of variety. There's an art to it.

I don't know Beer!

[totallynotanoni]

I'm definitely not an expo beer if thats what your asking.
Though I do have a few perusal favorites.

[ She rattles off a few names, most of them very affordable, one of them is known to be awful, one is the every person's beer, and the third is evidently better stuff for special occasions. ]

I just realized that I'm texting a complete stranger.

[ Wow, Retrospect has really done wonders for how held back one is with talking about this stuff with random people. ]

s'all good!

[liberal_arts]

We don't have to remain strangers. That's why I'm making an attempt at engaging you in conversation.

[liberal_arts]

-They're both terrible at this.-

I owe my good fortune in coming out relatively unscathed to a young man that is unfortunately no longer with us.

[flowrite]

[They really, really are.]

no longer with us? did he...??

[Die?]

[totallynotanoni]

I guess.

Its sort of interesting, how people who are generally complete strangers to one another are pulled together by this app.

[liberal_arts]

Yes.

-Fai didn't really need to say it. It wasn't as if it could mean anything else.-

[liberal_arts]

It is probably the only truly positive thing it has accomplished.

[totallynotanoni]

I guess it is.

Is it okay if I ask who I'm texting with right now?
I honestly have no clue who you are.

[flowrite]

shit, I hadn't heard that someone



I'm sorry. How are you holding up, after all of this?

[liberal_arts]

Kasen Kaneda, at your service.

[liberal_arts]

Not well, to be honest. But at this point, my therapist is useless. They're not part of our 'network'.

[flowrite]

[Yep, definitely a problem. Hence why Fai has been offering his own services, however meager. But he's 95% sure that Kasen wouldn't want to talk to him about this kind of stuff. Talk about awkward.]

If you're interested, there's a counselor at the university who might be able to help? I've never worked with her, but I've spoken with her a bit and she seems very nice. Do you know a Katherine Takada at all?

[totallynotanoni]

[ Why does that name ring familiar? ]

Odd.
Your name sounds familiar.

[liberal_arts]

-... Huh.-

Funny you should mention her. Is she a friend of yours?

[liberal_arts]

Ah, well, not to brag but it is a fairly known name in this city's artistic community.

-Plus having a building named after him.-

Wait he seriously has a building named after him?

[totallynotanoni]

[ Okay...can you spell "Ego"? ]

I'm not that familiar with the arts, really.
My main focus is in psychology.

[ Though reading is also a small liking of hers. ]

I swear I've heard a name like that somewhere else.

yup. check the locations page

[liberal_arts]

-Hey, he's doing his best to downplay it!-

You may just have heard it in passing? Or perhaps you know another Kasen? It's not a completely uncommon name, I'm told.

[flowrite]

Hm?

[Funny how?]

I've spoken with her a bit on the app, but that's about it. Why?

[liberal_arts]

I'm speaking to her right now.

[flowrite]

Oh! Well in that case I suppose I'll just wish you luck!

Although if that doesn't work out for whatever reason let me know? I know you probably wouldn't want to talk to me but I'll see what I can do to help anyway. I might be able to suggest something, even if it's just something to help you sleep better.
