[Ken, wearing a blue apron, is standing in what appears to be the stockroom of Nectar.]

So...

[He hesitates for a moment, gazing around himself apprehensively, clearly worried he might be overheard. When he turns back to the screen, he closes his eyes briefly and takes a deep breath, as if steeling himself for something.]

What would it take to make you decide you couldn't be yourself any more?

Do you reckon it's any easier if you just don't have any other choice?

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

No. It isn't.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Guess not.

But I didn't think it'd be easy anyway.

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

I take it that this has happened to someone you know then.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

[... damn. Here he was kind of hoping it'd be less obvious than that.]

[2/2]

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

... kinda.

It's not all the time. But he's being weird and... and I kind of hoped someone would know how to make him stop.

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

[He notices things. This is one of them.]

That may depend on how necessary he believes this to be.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Even so, I gotta at least try. Maybe he's just too close to the problem.

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

That happens more often than people wish to admit to.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Just because he can't see another way out doesn't mean there really ain't one.

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

Of course.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

I just wish I knew why he thought he had to in the first place.

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

That is something you would have to discuss with him.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

He... well, I don't think he wants to talk about it, though.

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

That isn't overly surprising.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Guess not.

I just wish I knew how to help.

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

Perhaps just being there for him will be of some aid.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Yeah... you're probably right. I should probably just go do that. Stop asking stupid questions.

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

I don't feel that question was stupid.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Thanks. And for replying.

Guess I'm probably just gonna have to hope for the best.

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

You're welcome.

I hope it turns out well in the end.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

Same here. Thanks for everything... oh, I never got your name?

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

Hatori Sohma.

[insorrow.livejournal.com]

I'm Ken. Ken Hidaka. Nice to meet you, Sohma-san.

[doctor-tatsu27.livejournal.com]

You as well, Hidaka-kun.
