[The entry is blank for a few moments, as if Xander was hesitating and suddenly reconsidering making a post about this. Then again, he's at his limit, especially after his recent echo that happened in front of his parents during their stay for Thanksgiving.]

Is there a therapist or psychiatrist on here?

Mine was.

I'm pretty sure he left the city.

[dominateartimus]

Wonderful. Do you know how long ago it was?

[titansno]

It's been a few weeks.

Sorry. Wish I could be more help.

[dominateartimus]

It's fine. Thanks for the information.

[titansno]

[after a moment]

Are your echoes giving you trouble?

[dominateartimus]

Yeah. They are.

Not any more. The asshole had family problems, had to jet.

Not that he was any good.

[Text]

[dominateartimus]

Thanks for the information.

Why do you say that?

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

Because he's an idiot, that's why.

[Text]

[dominateartimus]

That doesn't explain much, but I won't ask.

[Text]

[shiromadoushi]

What's to ask?

The only reason he was even remotely good for anything was because he knew what was going on. Now that he doesn't any more he's doubly useless.

Better off just talking to a friend.

[dominateartimus]

You didn't give much context on 'why' he was an idiot, but you've explained it now.

So, he forgot everything. Thanks for the information, again.

Can't help you there, man.

You okay?

[text]

[dominateartimus]

That's all right.

No.

[text]

[synonymouswithdookie]

I can't offer much, but if you think talking would help at all, I'm all ears.

[text]

[dominateartimus]

I appreciate the offer, but I rather not talk about it on here.

[text]

[synonymouswithdookie]

Right, I understand.

[text]

[dominateartimus]

Sorry.

[text]

[synonymouswithdookie]

No no no dude don't apologize you got no reason to

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

I don't know, but I can listen if you need to talk?

[text]

[dominateartimus]

I've been informed that the only one left due to personal matters.

I appreciate the offer, Alex, but I can't bring myself to tell you what is affecting me.

[He really is sorry about this, but he doesn't want to traumatize you.]

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

OK

But that kind of just makes me more curious you know.

I'm pretty sure other-me died after mind-controlling slugs took over Earth, I can handle more than people think.

[text]

[dominateartimus]

I figured it would. Sorry.

[There's a bit of a pause in his response. As if he was thinking over what he just read.]

I'm afraid I can't discuss it over the network. It is too personal.

[handwritten]

[moarnomsplz]

Want to meet up somewhere?

[dominateartimus]

[There's a bit of a delay in response since he was considering the offer.]

You're not grounded anymore, are you?
