[ANONYMOUS TEXT]

[The anon text on the network tonight is simple and to-the-point, hitting at about eleven at night; it seems that somebody isn't sleeping easily.]

Is there a way to stop hating someone?

If not, is there at least a way to stop being so angry about it all the time?





[ACTION]

[While he's not straying too far from the house he and his classmates have more or less taken over (with the assistance of a ridiculous amount of Eevees), Ishimaru can be found wandering around outside tonight; he's staying close to the breeding center and the like, but he's definitely seeming more restless than usual, his actions aimless. He's been having difficulty sleeping for almost a week now; it probably shows in his mannerisms and his speech - everything has been seeming less enthusiastic than usual - but he's been trying to keep up appearances, if nothing else.

At least he's not alone for the time being; he's got Eeveemaru with him - one of the members of the great furball legion from the house, all decked out in what looks like a little replica of Ishimaru's coat and armband (because if Togami thinks he's getting any aspect of this back - Eevee or outfit - he's got another thought coming to him, apparently). The thing is just kind of chilling on his shoulders for now, seeming a bit bewildered at being outside at a reasonably late hour but not too bothered otherwise; once in a while it bats at something not visible to anyone but there nonetheless - seems he's got Aiko with him as well, though the Misdreavus isn't visible for now.

It's late, and he's tired, but at least the night is nice, if a bit overcast. Maybe it'll rain soon, who knows. He just doesn't feel like being inside.]

Well, the best you can do is ignore them. The less you talk or spend time with them, the less you'll have to think about them: the less frustrated you'll feel. Though if you have to spend time with them, then you can try to pretend they're someone else.

Is the hate mutual or is it just you? If it's just you, then it might be better to explain why you hate them. If it's mutual, you should be able to find an agreement on what to do so you don't need to spend time with one another.

That kind of a person, huh? That makes talking with them rather difficult, I assume.

I think I would try to find a way to distance myself from the person, if I was in your position. Find something to do, focus on that and forget about them as much as you can. If they come to talk with you, then talk with them, but after that, resume to focus on the one thing you're doing.

Pokémon training often helps, at least, but also a job or some sort of a time consuming and attention needing hobby.

I'm sure they'll understand if you explain them why you need to do that. Especially if they know about all this.

They might just be worried about you though. Sometimes people forget everything else when they're focused on one thing. Even eating or sleeping regularly.

Well that's good, then.

That might be the case as well. Especially if things like this have been bothering you. Friends usually realize something is wrong even without words. Just your actions are enough.

It might be best to talk with them. I'm sure they would like to know what's up.

It wasn't a problem at all. I know how it feels to constantly hate someone, so I wanted to try to help you out.


[Even if his main method was to punch the guy he hated, but that didn't work so he wouldn't suggest that.]
