That's... a difficult question. I don't know it, but I believe it.

*Frowns*
I feel like I'm not making the kind of progress everyone else is. And I don't know what to do about it.

<Snipped quote by Extra>

You don't need to grow as fast as you can. You need to grow at a rate that is right for you. And you're all doing that.

*To Zinnia*

You're welcome.

*Opens a portal next to you*

That'll lead you to the guest room, feel free to make yourself at home.

@Yatagarasu

How do you know what's right?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

You do. Judging from some common, objective standard is useless. You can't compare a snake and a bird for their ability to fly. Similarly, you can't compare people for what one is good at. You're each doing the best you can, and are constantly improving in some way, suited to you. That's an amazing thing.

@Yatagarasu

Do you really think we're growing? As fast as we can?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

But it is. And not just because a father is always proud of their children; you all do so well that even an outside observer would agree that it's true.

@Yatagarasu

D-do we? I don't feel like most of us do all that much... And Stella's always complaining about how far behind we are.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

Absolutely. All of you do, all the time. I'm extremely proud of each of you.

@Yatagarasu

*Smiles bashfully*
Come on... that can't be true.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

It sure seems like it.

@Yatagarasu

Is she meeting your expectations?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

At helping revive their friend? She did very well.

@Yatagarasu

So her studies are still going well? She's remembering everything she needs to?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

At least a day, probably a little longer. It depends on how quickly she wants to get going, and how she feels after resting.

@Yatagarasu

Okay okay... So, how did Stella do?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Meta>

*Pats your head twice*

You're welcome.

@Yatagarasu

How long do you think she'll get to be here?

Myriad Reality

*Returns after a few minutes*

Alright, the guest room is set up. Just to not alarm you when you see it, it's technically a separate building than the house, but since we use short-distance portals for a lot of stuff, you'll be able to walk straight from one to the other.

@Yatagarasu

Thanks so much for letting her stay, daddy!
