So, I think I've told most people that we know rough versions of what happened over a month ago, but I felt it'd probably be best to do an overall update here on Kotori and her health.

She's thankfully back to full strength now. It took a while for her to recover physically from how much using her abilities in the demon form drained her. The first week she was home was super rough as she barely had the strength to do anything so I had to help her out a lot, but I wanna say a huge thanks to our family and friends who came by to help us out too. Whether it was helping me with housework stuff, or cooking meals for us so we didn't have to live on conbini food all the time, it was all super appreciated!

Her mental health is still pretty shot though and that's the next thing we need to tackle. She's finding it difficult to be motivated, or to even go outside, which really isn't like her.
Yuto suggested we should look at getting her therapy through SAI. He said they have a few therapists that understand about supernatural stuff and it's where he went earlier in the year.

The demon features haven't appeared unexpectedly since the incident. I think she can control it a little better now, but once she feels up to it, I'm going to start taking her up to the Armory where she'd be able to practise her abilities in that new form without any fear of accidentally hurting someone or damaging anything.
Obviously we'll have to pace it and not practise for long periods or anything so she doesn't exhaust herself again.

We've got a really long way to go, but I'm gonna walk it with her every step of the way, no matter what it takes.

Out of anything that could've been going on with you, I'm still pretty boggled it ended up being "my girlfriend turned into a demon and she flew away into the forest."

But I guess if she's doing better now, that's better for you, too.

I guess I can say my life definitely isn't boring.

But yeah, things are going better.

Makes me wonder what it'd be like if your life was actually boring, instead.

Honestly, I couldn't picture what it'd be like.
The last six years or so especially have been a pretty wild ride.

Mmm, is there anything I can do to help you, buddy?

I'm pretty busy, but I can make time.

Thanks, Serena!

For now, things are going okay, but I guess when Kotori feels like she's able to face going places again, it might help her a lot to hang out and go places with people. She's been pretty cooped up in the apartment, so going places with different people she knows would help her get her mind off things and have some fun.

Well. I can take her.

Kickboxing?

Er... don't think kickboxing is really her kind of thing.

She mainly likes things like shopping, going to the movies and meeting at cafes and stuff!

... I think I missed some things while I was back at home for...

Basically almost the whole month.

It's a pretty big story, but, Kotori got access to some kind of demon form and it made her abilities go kinda haywire. It scared her, so she didn't talk to me or anyone about it and eventually just hid herself away.
She let that fear build up and it resulted in her fleeing to the forest in the mountains, so I went after her.

We ended up spending 3 days lost in there and... a lot happened.
Things have been rough, but, they're slowly starting to get better. We're just trying to get her the help she needs to get back up on her feet again

O-oh. That sounds... dire.

I really hope she gets the help that she needs. I don't know too much about... demon forms or anything, but that had to be terrifying for her when it started up, it feels like.

Yeah. She's had a rough year already and when things were looking up for her, this happened. I think she's really struggling to understand who she is with all these changes over the last few years, but I'm positive that we'll get her the help she needs to figure it out.

I've been meaning to come over and have a chat with her, but y'know, new baby and all, but I can probably come over sometime this week to talk to her about some things, including therapy options. I think I have a therapist in mind who would be perfect.

That'd be super helpful! I really want to get this set up for her so she can get the help she needs to continue to recover.

Er, maybe this is a silly thing to ask, but... would you be able to bring the baby when you visit? Kotori's really been wanting to meet her, but hasn't had the drive to go over to see her yet.

I'm sure I'll be able to bring Asami with me no problem! Hopefully it'll cheer Kotori up a little to see her.
