I need something else to concentrate on.

What do you do when you think you like someone?

How can you be sure?

And if you are sure, how do you proceed?

[she wondered what had compelled people to go back into the sea. surely life as a living, breathing human had to be better than that of a squid, no matter how peaceful being a squid supposedly was. she planning to cling to this life with every bit of strength she had.

and she was so lucky to have a friend like Luz!]

No, no, we do. I read Freud in the original German. It's simply that...going to such was seen as a terrible stigma. Better to commit one's family member to an asylum and pretend as though they never existed.

I'm so glad. You know you can turn to me whenever you need to.

[Rose hugged tightly back. she loved hugs, they were so comfortable]

We can probably end here, we're gonna have so many other threads!

[Luz would get back to you on that one Rose, later on in the month of July. She was going to have a very close encounter with being one to swim as a squid and not exactly know what brought her there.

Especially WHEN she had as good a friend as Rose].

There can still be a little bit of a stigma now, but it's much better now, because there's so much that happens to people these days.

Ugh, that's AWFUL, and very scary.

I know! You're the best, have I told you that?

Sure, sure! Works for me!

[noooo. no squids. even if she'd come dangerously close to becoming one again herself.

Rose would blush scarlet at that]

I can only imagine. I've been...spoiled as such about the future. I can't imagine the pain it will all bring, fear that my children may fight at war. But...the war in question is a righteous one. That helps.

[she wants to only have daughters, but even daughters wouldn't be safe in the decades to come]

No, you haven't. [she says with a chuckle] But feel free to tell me again.
