Easier for who?

[ Adachi gave him a concerned look; genuinely concern, for Viktor himself, not just for what he could do. ]

If I've learned anything from therapy, it's that you need to be honest with how you feel to yourself. Otherwise you'll just make the lie your reality, and completely avoid the fact that you're hurting.

[fourlevels]

... They tell you that in therapy? Huh ...

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Adachi paused a moment, his shoulders slumping a little. ]

Yeah... apparently being social isn't my only issue.

[ He was just a defective pile of issues, but that was beside the point. He reached over, giving his arm a squeeze. ]

Viktor... maybe you should go see a therapist too.

[fourlevels]

... You mean like a psychiatrist. Not a physical therapist.

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Oh my god, Viktor, get your head out of sport for like five seconds. ]

...did you really think I was talking about a physical therapist?

[fourlevels]

Just clarifying! Since I dealt with so much of them over the years.

[sleight_of_hand]

Viktor...

[fourlevels]

I wonder if there are specialists in psychologists too, like those who're more familiar with athletes? Is that a thing? Otherwise it might be hard to explain ...

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Adachi paused, frowning to himself. ]

I don't see why not? Might be worth looking into. Though... maybe somewhere outside of Heropa for now; just in case.

[fourlevels]

Really? How come?

[sleight_of_hand]

I dunno how this 'liberate Heropa' movement is going to go, or how far it extends. Some doctors here might deny you just on account of you being an imPort.

[fourlevels]

Wouldn't that extend beyond Heropa though? It could be natives in other cities feel the same way.

[sleight_of_hand]

True... but it doesn’t seem to have spread to this degree yet.

[ He gave a shrug. ]

Or you can go see Harley too. She is good at what she does, despite what people say about Gothamites.

[fourlevels]

Gotha ... what?

[sleight_of_hand]

Gothamites; people from some place called Gotham City. Apparently they’re all pretty nuts.

Harley isn’t that bad though. She’s been super helpful.

[fourlevels]

Gotham ... sounds familiar. Something about bats ... ?

[ He shrugs lightly. ]

Maybe. I have no idea what to look for with someone like that. If I don't find anyone that sounds good, I might reach out to your Harley then.

[sleight_of_hand]

Oh yeah, some weird bat-guy is from there too. Dunno if he’s, like, a literal man-sized bat or not, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

[ He shrugged; seriously the only normal guy seemed to be that Bruce Wayne guy, and that was questionable seeing as he employed Crane willingly. ]

But yeah... just, let me know if you need help, okay?

[fourlevels]

Mmm, I will.

Ready for the next run?

[sleight_of_hand]

[ Adachi’s expression brightened at that, and he leaned over to nudge at his arm. ]

Been waiting on you.

[fourlevels]

Says the person who missed the first half!

[ And Viktor takes off at a sprint so there. ]

[sleight_of_hand]

H-hey don’t cheat!

[ And there Adachi goes, running to catch up to him. ]
