Rain:1218: Catharsis

Synopsis

Author Notes

Ah~! Rain said the title of the chapter! :D

Emily said earlier in the chapter, that she didn't want to cry for her mother. That was what held her back. Then Rain right here addresses how not only does it not have to be for her, it shouldn't be. It's all bittersweet, but this is what we call a "good cry".

As the number one crybaby in my town, I find that just crying it out really can help me. Maybe it doesn't actually solve the problem, but it's... cleansing, somehow. So I'll always fight for this: if you need to cry, then cry. No matter how old you are. No matter what gender you are. And if someone has a problem with it: fuck 'em. It's your life, and they're your tears. You should be allowed to use them whenever and however you want.

It's okay to cry. Please never forget it. ^_^

Transcript

That's why I'll do whatever I can to help. Even if I can't make all the hurt go away, I want to keep seeing you smile.
So, if you want distractions, I'm here for that. If you need to talk, I'm here for that too!
And if you need to cry... then you should.
It's okay to cry.
I know. Not for your mom. You're right.
This isn't about her anymore. This is about you, starting your journey to finally find and be yourself.
It's a daunting journey so cry if you need to.
But cry for you.
Take it from the number one crybaby in town. It can be really cathartic.

Emily starts crying

Take as long as you need. I'm not going anywhere.
