*Turns to look at her*
Then thank you, Stella.

@Server

*Waves my hand*
I needed the practice anyway. Besides, you didn't ask me to.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Server>

To give you privacy. It's one thing when doing an operation, or recreating a body. It's another when it's complete and healthy.

@Yatagarasu

She's dressed now, dad.

*Looks between them, still visibly afraid*

@Server

Or if you're so sure this is all fake, we could bring him back and you can ask him yourself. Or you could get dressed.

Who would want that monster to ever see the light of day?

@Server

Let me just make this easy on you.
*Holds up my magnifying glass to your eye and shows you both your own body and Dark Dynamo's*
See? Dead, dead, not dead. This would be an awful lot of trouble just to trick you for a game.

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

What are you going to have him do to me??

@Server

*Holds your wrist with two fingers and a thumb*
Hey you. Relax. He's dead as anything dead ever was. He's not a patient either.

*Screams and lurches into a sitting position*

@Server

Oh good, you can get dressed now.
*Sets your folded clothes at your feet and wheels over your previous body*
See? You're alive. You were basically a slushie when you got here.

<Snipped quote by Memory>

I was thinking that might do the opposite, but I suppose.

@Yatagarasu

Why? We're not going to animate him.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

Hmm... I dislike it, but it might work. Could also show her the state her old body is in.

@Yatagarasu

And, you know what else? Her dad's body.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

... Well, on the one hand, the good and boring one is probably better. On the other, she thinks we're awful anyway, so... I guess you can pick either.

@Yatagarasu

The boring one is therapy and slowly getting used to being alive again until her fear goes away. The fast option is to actually just hurt her worse than mental pain she's afraid of but less bad than she knows we can. Then there'd be no point in tricking her.

No, you don't. If you accept things, why not play along? The worst that can happen is you being right. If you actually think you're accepting of what you think is happening, you're not acting like it.

*Slumps my shoulders slightly*

Stella, any ideas? This is always the hard part, when they think like this.

@Yatagarasu

*Turns to you, my eyes still gleaming*
I have a good, boring idea, and a fast, awful idea.
