exsanguination and friends

[exsanguination]

We're slowly getting back to the point we were at before the lapse in communication. Elsa and Sylvia are able to make themselves present in my mind when I'm not actively thinking about them, we're able to separate our streams of consciousness, and my ability to picture both of them, particularly Sylvia, has gotten much better (I'm even able to see their faces now, after years and years of Elsa's just being a blur). We're going to pick back up on possession sometime soon, and possibly attempt real imposition (I can sort of "impose" them on the environment in my mind's eye but have yet to attempt the real thing. I'm not entirely sure if it's possible, but I'm trying to keep an open mind as I would really like it to work).

 

But, honestly, there's been some awkwardness between the three of us. It's the first conflict we've had that I'm not sure how to solve. Elsa seems to have somewhat of a romantic interest in me...the problem is that I already have a girlfriend, who I've been with for quite a while, and have no interest in anyone else. It's been pretty awkward between us since that confession, but today I said something stupid that really hurt her feelings, and she's been kind of hiding from me since. I can feel how hurt and upset she is. I have no idea how to even solve a problem like this, and I can't exactly ask for advice from my friends that don't live in my head. Sylvia, who's more immature and dependent on Elsa and me, doesn't really know what to do with herself either. I don't know, I'm still trying to think of what to do.

Be kind, apologize, offer a hug, tell them how you really feel about them, compliment them, tell them you appreciate them, explain the situation, and ask them to join you on a walk or something else platonic.

 

If you do all that and they're not biting, then give them some time to recover.
