Let's talk about hate.

Let's suppose I hate someone very much. I could enact all manner of violence on this person and not be satisfied. I enjoy getting the better of them, and when I don't it drives me to to challenge them even more.

Classic hate.

The problem is that I am sure they think of me as insignificant dust, not worthy of anything close to a relationship. And for probably good reason - in wit and banter I can compete, but otherwise I'm not in a good position compared to them.

Your advice?

I knew I kept this in the frequently used fonts file for a reason.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sure you can get their attention! I mean, you're worthy of just about anybody! Um, I mean, I could never hate you, but I'm sure somebody would want you like that, and you could really have anybody you wanted in any quadrant, so, um, I don't mean to offend you...

[unknownrival]

It's all right. We're certainly not meant to hate each other.

[aquaticrush]

Please don't give up just like that. If you do, you'll regret it forever and I don't want that foe you.

[unknownrival]

But what should I do instead?

[aquaticrush]

I know it must be hard to tell him, but I'm sure there's some way to get his attention!

[unknownrival]

I'm not good at confessions in general.

[aquaticrush]

I'm sorry. I don't have any good ideas because I don't have anybody I hate right now...

[unknownrival]

Maybe we can find you someone.

[tyranngott]

Have you considered that perhaps you are insignificant dust?

[unknownrival]

Oh, I've ruled that out already.

[tyranngott]

What a pity.

[unknownrival]

Have you considered that all you have going for you is strength and power?

[tyranngott]

What about my brilliant intellect?

[unknownrival]

I'm not impressed.

[aquaticrush]

You don't need to go to the trouble!

[unknownrival]

There's Kefka but he's a bit old for you...

[aquaticrush]

I think he just dislikes everybody equally.

[unknownrival]

Right. Nothing special there.

[aquaticrush]

It happens a lot. It's okay.

[unknownrival]

What about Scratch?

[aquaticrush]

He hates Kefka-san.

[unknownrival]

I'm trying to auspitice.

[aquaticrush]

I suppose that's true... Um, I know you're worried about me. Thank you.

[unknownrival]

No problem. I'll keep an eye out.

[aquaticrush]

We should focus on helping you first.

The person below... that's him, right?
