[It appears Ardyn is dipping his feet into some proverbial insecurities.

Naturally, this sparks something that others might find surprising in the man; sympathy, in its most sincere form. A propensity to actually care about the well-being of his students, never mind the excess of snark he's received from this particular one in the past. It barely mattered.]

There's an entire community of individuals who undoubtedly feel the same as you. Remember that there's always an ear willing to listen, Dante. You needn't carry this sort of burden alone. What's the saying, after all? Misery loves company.

[darkinferno]

misery can go take a long walk off a short pier

[Who said he was miserable? He sure didn't say he was miserable! He's got everything going for him, right? Unfortunately, Ardyn's attempt to reach out here will only be met by Dante retreating like a hermit crab back into his own shell.]

i'm not carrying any sort of burden

i just don't like these fake memories. that's all

[There's only so much that Ardyn can do or say -- most especially over text. If the boy wants to retreat and deny, he won't stop him. He's already planted the idea of reaching out to talk to others if things get too heavy, or at least, he can only hope he has.

But he does feel the need to clarify something, regardless.]

These "fake" memories /are/ burdensome. Confusing and disorienting. No one would blame you for commiserating.

[darkinferno]

i can deal with it

[Guess who's steadfastly ignoring the fact that that doesn't align at all with what he'd been admitting to Ardyn just a little bit earlier?

And yet, after a pause...]

thanks

[daemonized]

[After the first text, he doesn't expect another. It's a pleasant sort of surprise, and he won't push any further. Not today, at least.]

You're welcome. See you in class?

[darkinferno]

yeah

i'll be there

[After all, the last thing he wants to do is let anybody else know that something's wrong. The only thing he really can do is keep pushing on, right? Right.]
