“To the contrary, I think now is the [i]best[/i] time for you to relax.” Marae replied. “Trust me, I know [i]all[/i] about that obsession for answers. That frustration when an answer feels just out of reach, and that desire to just keep pushing, keep trying until it finally comes to you. And the worry you might never find it. Don’t think I haven’t gone through that whole cycle a thousand times over. But our minds aren’t [i]that[/i] different. If you just take a step back, let your mind relax. Reset. It can make it easier for you to come back to the problem later and approach it from a different angle. With the added bonus of relieving some stress in the meantime.”

Marae hummed to herself for a moment, this time turning around and looking back towards their own building. “Let’s see, we can’t go everywhere, but we do have a fair amount of options here. We could go get some drinks, or maybe see a movie, or something more specific to this place? I mean, you could say I am like a tourist here. What would you want to show to someone who is an alien to your world? Anything about this place that you’d be eager to ‘show off’?”
