I've never heard of the Fade, but I bet we're talking about something similar. And - if not? I get the feeling.

[ She doesn't feel isolated, exactly, but Aerith has always had distance between herself and others, being the last of the Cetra. Maybe Cole is...alone like that, too. ]

"Now?" Have you started trying to talk to them a bit more than you did before? ...To be honest, though...it can be hard to use the right words in most situations. They're tricky!

[She could be right, or maybe not. It's hard to tell. It would be nice though, in some way, to know that there is some other world out there that has something like the Fade.]

[He straightens back up to his feet, but doesn't lift his head.]

Yes. [To all of that.] I can't hear what hurts, so I have to ask. But people don't always say what they're feeling, and words can hurt without meaning to.

Well, sure. That's part of being a person, isn't it?

[ People are hard to figure out, usually. Even if you have a bit of a special read on them, as Cole seems to. ]

You just have to tell them as much, that's all. Just say that, if they're not going to be straight with you, that you'll just take them at their word! People usually are a little more open after that. They might be coy at first, but they don't want you to misunderstand their intentions, usually. Unless they're a bad guy, or something.

[ Most people want to be understood, deep down, but can have a hard time admitting it. ]
