Actually, I saw someone long ago, half his face was purple, like a black and blue mark or something. I was much younger then, so I may have been creeped out a bit. However, it wasn't someone I knew at all, just someone I passed by somewhere.

Well, Emi did paraphrase things very nicely. "You can't help someone get dressed in the morning and not get along." So they at least have that as a basis for friendship. People do have a very loose definition of friendship, though. It's hard to tell sometimes. My definition of a friend, for example,...

My mind is a lot more active than my facial expressions and words in cases like these. Like the one guy I saw a few weeks ago. Mentally I might be like "oh crap!" but my face won't give that reaction away largely. My eyes might widen for a moment, but that's it. After that point, I could look the pe...

Well, I certainly can back up my words. I'd be moved by sympathy, and if anything, I'd defend the person against their tormentors.

Especially if it were someone like Hanako! I'm the curious type. I like to investigate and see the real details behind something.

I choose to think of the whole thing this way... Hisao and Hanako were both repressing feelings for each other, and everything just came to a climax then. That's how I like to interpret it. I'd like to see any man on this forum who, if a woman strips practically naked before you, you wouldn't be tem...

Are we on the same page here? I think you may have misunderstood what I said. By "walking the walk" I meant backing up what I said with action. I wasn't saying I'd walk away.

So yes, we're talking about how to fight back against bullying when we're supposed to be talking about Hanako's scars... You know, an interesting thing is, before I ever found and read KS, I had this thing where I would imagine how I would feel if someone I love got scarred, if I would still love he...

I lose myself in the KS world, while working my job and trying to handle other things. KS to me is like a great stress reliever and relaxer, a great source of joy and peace in such rough times. It's a real picker-upper, a source of amazing creative energy. I want to draw, write, play music... these ...

I've listened to nothing but KS music at work for the last five months now. I find it relaxing and I can block out a lot of what stresses me. Still, many would say listening to the same songs over and over is a sign of insanity. Not like I care, my mind is anything but normal. Or worldly for that ma...

I've realized some things, that generally, it's how people view you that greatly affects how they will try something you really like. I'm the odd one out at work anyway, so I've largely adapted a "come to work, do what I have to do and go home" attitude. I hate working with people that worship money...

Really? I can't see the average Quake 2 player seeing Hanako and commenting that. Perfect World maybe... I see where you are coming from though. I do a lot of tabletop RPG's and my characters are always inspired by my lifes, then, biggest inspirations. Certainly Lilly is going to find her way into ...

Yeah that's how people are man, they're too prideful and judging. At least it can help show you who your real friends are.

I've already allowed my interest to spill into other games I play, like Quake 2 and Perfect World. So naturally with my character being Hanako, it makes it easier to introduce KS to others. Every now and then I get the occasional person that says "Hey, your character is really cute/interesting!" and...

I can honestly say KS did change me overnight. I went to work feeling more happy and pumped up than I have in years. I can laugh and smile for no reason now, because I radiate with that positive energy that's been burning strong for over 5 months now. So, in wishing to share that energy with others,...

Okay Doc, you just threw off my mental train of thought entirely. :lol: It'll come back to me, I'm sure... My first response is, Hanako is incredibly damaged from her past, it takes years to heal that kind of damage... it's not like she'd find her niche in High school and suddenly become this super ...
