exsilium | [Video; backdated a week to September 3]

[Filtered FROM Symphonia castmates and all occupants of Unit 103]
[The video opens to a teenage boy; those familiar with Aster/

ainsophaured may notice that he looks just about identical to Aster save for his clothing. Currently he looks hesitant, not quite sure this is actually a good idea.]

Hey, um, I'm sorry to bother everyone, but I have a problem. Sort of.

[He looks to the side briefly.]

What do you do if...if there's someone you think likes you, like a crush or something, but you don't like them the same way? But you don't want them to feel sad, and - well, making them sad might get you in trouble too. Not that it's the only reason you don't want them to be sad! But...

[He sighs.]

I know it's not most people's problems, but I don't know what to do. This is something I can't talk to some of my friends about. I was wondering if anyone else knew.

Um...thank you.

[The video cuts out quickly after that. Time to see whether or not this was actually a good idea.]

Hey now, breaking someone's heart doesn't necessarily mean you're doing a bad thing. You don't deserve anything less for not reciprocating someone's feelings. The only way you could be doing something wrong is if you were dishonest with them, and it doesn't sound like your heart is anywhere near that bad place.

[:( this coming from someone whose last experience in a relationship led to her being dumped, but she totally gets you bro.]

Don't beat yourself up about it.
