I don't...I don't know. I don't know that there's anything we can do except...remind him who he is.
[His fists clench, because this is a no good very bad week for everyone, and he's been trying so damn hard not to lose his shit. So hard. Just to keep everyone afloat, like Ardyn would want him to. To slap bandaids and quick fixes on everyone and everything, to dump water leaking into the bottom of this sinking ship overboard with a rusty pail. He has to do it. He knows he has to, at the core of everything, for reasons even he can't articulate or reach. If he can't protect them, what good is he?
Which is the same thing Ardyn thinks every time someone tells him to chill out, and it's a bullshit perspective.]
There might not be a way for him to cure it, but maybe in the years he stopped looking for one. The cure for his insomnia, the lack of eating, the muted feelings, there has to be something. I don't know that we can find it here, but if there's information on our worlds stored away somewhere PAL can access, it might be a start.
We should talk to him. While he's...y'know. While he feels. I think he'll be upset but he'll be less likely to smooth everything over with stupid lies. If we put our heads together like a team, maybe we can find something to at least tide him over. If and when it goes back to him.
