then i was wondering, since you're really good friends with her, if... you'd maybe help me out a bit? i don't know, i think she deserves something nice. a night on the town as herself having fun or something, so she doesn't feel like... well... you already know. as much.
I had exactly the same idea, ahaha. A girls' night out would be very good for her. She'll need a lot of moral support or she won't be able to assume her true form in public. Approaching her with the idea may be tricky... If we tell her to go on a night out, she'll get scared. I think it would be better to like, offer her to go drink a coffee with friends. Then, see how things go. Think of it as trying to get a friend scared of water to the beach. You first get them to dip their feet in the water, then you take them in further once they've realized they're actually having fun.
And I think it's best if you're the one to approach her with the idea. About her identity as "Sayo," she did tell me pretty recently, like a week before my birthday... I already knew about similarities in our stories, but I didn't know those details. Your presence in this world is motivating her to open up. There is no one better than you to approach her with that idea!
Also, how are you feeling Jessica? I'm glad you two are on better terms, but please don't neglect your own well-being.
I'm glad to hear it! I had no doubt you would eventually manage to see past the monster, or rather the witch, to see the human in her.
Her greatest enemy is herself. Beatrice is a very strong and powerful persona, but behind it she suffers more than anyone I know. She didn't believe you two would ever be able to speak again... She doesn't think herself worthy of your forgiveness.
It's going to be a long and arduous road, but I'm sure you can take it.
it's because that she doesn't think herself worthy that i'm going to have to work EXTRA hard to be a good girlfriend to her, so she can see how great she really is!
me and sayo, and me and utage! i've always had... way too much love to give and i couldn't choose between them, so i talked with both of them and they were fine with me going steady with both at the same time
even though utage has, er
issues
with beatrice
but whatever! i'm committed to being as great of a girlfriend as i can possibly be fore both of them!
[ ... Oh no. It's going to be a disaster, isn't it? She had a very hard time believing Beatrice was really okay with sharing her lover. Probably a compromise, much like she had accepted an open relationship with Soundwave. But romantically they were still closed and dedicated to each other.
Well, maybe it'd go fine. Just because Monika couldn't believe in polyamorous relationships didn't mean they were impossible. Right? ]
I see.
You be careful, okay? It can be a tough act to balance two love lives at once.

Gosh, I hadn't realized! That's amazing, ahaha~
[ But wasn't Jessica attracted to... Utage, right? Well, far be it from her to pry in spite of her curiosity. ]
I'm sure you'll be a great girlfriend. So long as you follow your heart, all will be fine.

I hope you'll be happy. All three of you.
