Jaden: "You're looking better!"

Desiring change isn't wrong, and you already caused a change. Befriending Swiss is a good, positive, lasting change. A tiny step away from what is torturing you, getting a bit farther every time.

But you shouldn't hurt yourself for the sake of change. There needs to be a way that won't hurt you, or leave you with permanent, irreversible pain. Steps towards change, not painful limping.

Something as simple as the bus not arriving seems to have been the chaos butterfly in your life that led to befriending Swiss. It was a terrifying unknown path but you got this far.

You still need to visit or find someone who can treat your physical wounds - add that to as a goal. 'Fix the ouchies'

And Swiss can help. It's what friends are for, right? Be a change in life. Someone who can help you walk the unknown.

The H----tal isn't your only solution if you fear a 'reset'. Maybe the scout group who taught Swiss his skills have someone better at medicine.

Or if you can reach your school, you can go to a school nurse. They're better trained for serious injuries you might have sustained.

As for immediate actions: You are feeling better for sure - physically at least. Ask what what Jaden was talking about? Sounds interesting.

Don't worry, Maya, we'll break this time loop.

We're real good at breaking things.

>>1131257
Don't think it's a literal time loop so much as an existential / mundane one. Stagnation, being a shut-in. And lets not break Maya.

>>1131252
Focus on the dogboy for now. Aren't you dying to know what went on on his side?

new quest: hug jaden cuz he's new and different and cool and you miss him

go for belt grab it

and hug swiss after you hug jaden and grab his belt cuz hes also different and new
and you like different and new things

youve got two new boy-friends!!! the world dosent have to be mundane anymore ok??
you can do like anything you want. do something crazy and different. kiss him. which one? doesn't matter. DO IT !!!

>>1131250
Huh.
Weird.

Lots to look at elsewhere but...

What was jaden talking about?
