Is gift-giving all too common? Or does the easy giving point to a lack of meaning? It's somewhat strange, and altogether unnerving, to experience from strangers what family won't give.

They say kindness is a virtue, but I'm considering it a curse.

You felt something, did you not, when you were given those gifts? Happiness, joy, love...perhaps even pain...

Let that feeling plant itself within you. Let it take root, and blossom. As it grows, those feelings will guide you...and the curse will find itself reversed.

Would you--

meet with me?

...when would you like?

[purgatio]

Whenever. Sometime. Soon.

...I'm tall, with long blue hair. I'll likely be outside tonight, if you want to find me...

...Not tonight. Tomorrow?

All right...
