HUMANS
TELL ME HOW YOU CHEER EACH OTHER UP WHEN YOU'RE BEING PATHETIC AND SAD
I HAVE TRIED TO FEED MINE FOOD AND OFFER TO FIGHT HIM MULTIPLE TIMES BUT NEITHER OF THESE TACTICS HAVE WORKED
HIS SAD FEELINGS ARE ANNOYING AND MUST BE PUT TO AN END HOW DO I MAKE THEM STOP?

[arrancar]

that won't fix it

he's just going to continue being sad after he wakes up

[lackluster]

Seriously?

Just do it again.

[arrancar]

i can't keep knocking him out
it won't change anything

are you even a human?

[lackluster]

I am.

[ Why is that even a question... ]

What's got him all upset anyway?

[arrancar]

( look, he isn't human and even he knows knocking someone out repeatedly isn't going to solve their emotional problems. )

how the fuck should i know? ( he didn't bother to ask. )

[lackluster]

[ hey, if they're knocked out, they don't have the time to be sad, ]

Might help narrow down why he's sad.

What if he wants a specific type of attention from you?

[ That's usually what makes him sad, not getting that attention. ]

[arrancar]

i already give him attention when he wants it

( and even when he doesn't want it. )

[lackluster]

What kind of attention?

Maybe you need to be nicer about it.

[arrancar]

( admittedly, it's not the nice kind. )

i'm not gonna baby him

[lackluster]

What if that's what's making him sad? Because you aren't babying him?

[ his perspective of ichigo is going to be so warped after this convo. ]

[arrancar]

( that's just plain nonsense. )

his sadness has got nothing to do with me

[lackluster]

How do you know that if you haven't asked him directly?

[arrancar]

we aren't close enough for me to have that kinda impact on him

[lackluster]

You don't need to be close to someone to ask a simple question.

What's the worst that could happen?

[arrancar]

i can ask him what's making him sad but i don't need to put it into question if it has anything to do with me

[lackluster]

You don't want to know if it is?

[ Hm. Sounds like this guy is scared, but oh well. ]

If he gives you an answer, that will help narrow down your options on what to do next.

[arrancar]

if it had something to do with me then he would've already told me

( it isn't fear; it's disinterest in asking stupid questions. )

[lackluster]

Guess you have a point.

Well, good luck. Here's hoping he gives you something to work with.
