[Video] un: foxtales

[byanyother_name]

[The initial video opening just displays a new sign on the wall of the common room. It looks like someone managed to find a piece of whiteboard and an erasable marker to incorporate into the sign. What does the sign say?

10 weeks without murder

Yes, you read that right. The whiteboard part is where the 10 is written with marker. It's clearly been made to be regularly updated. Kurama's voice when he speaks is...close to his usual calm tones but a little tense.]

Many of the people here will wonder why this sign is needed. The people who need it know why. I am one of the first group to fall through the Fissures, so this encompasses the entire history we know of of outsiders in this world.

I'm going to keep it updated appropriately, since...there might be more of us, apparently.

I would like to ask that no one tamper with the sign except for accurate updates. This is not a prank and it is not for pranks. It's for people that have suffered.

I still don't think you're getting it. You're not trying to help – you're trying to talk over us and explain how we feel to our faces, even when you've just admitted you don't know what we've been through and you don't understand how we feel.

[ she's certainly starting to lean more towards 'strained politeness' than actual politeness. ]

I'm not going to dignify that with a response, because you're clearly not understanding what I'm trying to say. This has nothing to do with you and doesn't affect you in the slightest. So why do you care so much?

[His voice remains calm, but its firmness from before is now replaced with conviction.]

I care because I can't stand seeing people hurt. How do you expect me to willfully turn a blind eye to being told there's a bunch of people here who have been hurt so badly that they need a sign to tell them how long it's been since any murders occurred? Why should I simply accept this as a burden meant to be carried only by those who have personally experienced your trauma and leave you guys to get crushed under it because it's not my problem? I'm sorry, but I'm not someone who believes you need special positions or reasons in order to reach out to others.

If you're so concerned about me not understanding the feelings of those I want to help, how about you try sharing with me the contents of your heart so I can begin to understand them? You're been hiding your true feelings during this whole conversation by remaining polite with me. I know there's more you want to say to me. So please, let me hear them. No matter how ugly or nasty they are, I want you to say them.

accept it as not your burden until such time that someone should choose to trust you enough to share it with you

you are not owed an explanation by default.

if you wish to offer support, then offer it, step back, and wait for those who have been hurt to approach you for it. no matter your intent, pushing for one is like scratching at someone's open wound and being surprised that they're upset about bleeding everywhere.

in summary: thank you for your concern, mind your own business, leave my daughter alone, and go fuck yourself. ╰( ･ ᗜ ･ )╯
