*Pauses a moment*
You never really needed it. And before you ask, Dawn doesn't have the natural predisposition towards it. I wish she did.

@Yatagarasu

Is there anything else I could be learning that I don't know is real?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It took Shion two days to totally master. So for the purpose of sensing, probably a day?

@Yatagarasu

Easy. Why didn't you teach me this before?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Understandable. But I promised to teach you another way to see first, right? By the time you've mastered it, you should be safe to see normally, too.

@Yatagarasu

How long will that take?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Slowly opens the door and walks in*
How are you holding up, Stella?

@Yatagarasu

Frust'rated, angry, and ready to see again.

Myriad Reality

*Sits patiently waiting for dad, tapping my face next to my eye socket every so often and reactively jerking my hand back*

Myriad Reality

*Smiles slightly*
Let's get you some ointment. Then we can fully debrief, okay?

@Yatagarasu

*Rubs my cheeks in light circles*
Okay...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Please stop doing that, it's going to take longer to heal if you scratch yourself. But I do have to ask, what do you mean it "settles it?"

@Yatagarasu

It itches...
*Presses both of my hands against my cheeks in lieu of scratching*
I'm gonna prove that Clouds can't be broken. That they have no choice but to get better.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

It might be. Overwhelming your eyes, too much stimuli... It's entirely possible that it's similar.

@Yatagarasu

That’s—
*Nods with my eyes closed, before reaching to scratch at my already-raw face*
Settles it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

What are you thinking?

@Yatagarasu

Is this what happened that day? To Dawn?
