1. I'm not dead yet. So if you've planned on burying me already, cancel your plans.

2. Your recent nanomachine problem isn't my problem, sucks to be you if you've been infected with them. If you wake up tomorrow morning feeling and looking a little more like a corpse, then maybe I'll consider taking a look.

You'll have to find it in that sappy heart of yours to forgive me, I don't have good experiences with doctors. Surprise you'll be the first one I actually have a somewhat decent opinion of.

[You can almost hear the unamused laugh that would follow a comment like that.]

When I woke up, I didn't make it a first priority to look at my face, I'll admit. But inspecting it, looks like most of your work has held up, despite ...


...

How it seems like everything shut down for a while.

[mysophobic]

Well that's a good start then! See? Not all of us are so bad! I'll have you change your opinion yet.

[ Shigeru is relieved to read that even that last part is a bit...worrisome. ]

Shut down? What do you mean?

[hellshot]

I'll be judging you carefully, so try not to screw up.

[This may not sound like sarcasm, but it sure is.]

...

Hard to describe, given I don't really know how it happened myself.

But it's as if whatever was holding 'me' together stopped doing its job for a while.

[mysophobic]

I'll try not to. It's a serious thing helping people so I tend to do pretty well under pressure!

[ Until he pushes himself way too hard and then everything goes to shit...but that's a whole different issue. ]

I'm so sorry. That must've been...scary for you. But I hope I can reverse whatever it is so that doesn't happen again.

[ His words are totally heartfelt even through the text Reaper can probably gauge them that way. ]

But you've stabilized since then, right? Or is it still happening? Do you want to meet up now? Maybe I can try to help...

[hellshot]

[He's not even sure if Shigeru can manage to reverse it on his own. It'd be nice, to be able to never worry about literally falling to pieces again, but. At this point, he's really settled with 'this is how life is'.

But that doesn't mean he wouldn't at least try to find a solution.
Lucky for Shigeru, he hasn't lost all hope of fixing things.]

Whatever the portal did, it fixed the issue. For now, at least. Don't know if it'll wear down or start to happen again.
So there's that old saying that overly positive people like you say, isn't there?

'Better safe than sorry'?

I don't have my mask right now.
So I don't really feel like leaving the building I'm in.

Long and short of it: if you want to take a look, I'd be fine with that. But I ain't going out in public.

[mysophobic]

That is something I tend to say quite often, I can't even lie! But it helps to stay positive and to be cautious with these things! But don't give up so easily.

I'm sure we can figure it out, if there's any place to do so it's a place with people who have all sorts of powers, right?

[ Ah, well, that explains some things the texting for one. ]

Oh I definitely understand. I can meet you at the community housing, that's where you are, right? I'll be right over!
