[Another unexpected text, huh. This one at least gives him an indication as to who this might be from, however, and if it is her, he can't help but be a bit concerned. Not that they're close or anything, but she's another person who's gone through some terrible Retrospec nonsense, so he can spare some sympathy.]
[Well this is a conundrum. He should probably tell her she's not speaking with who she thinks, but he knows how he'd feel if he sent a personal text to a stranger...
Maybe he'll just pretend for a little bit until she either realizes it or feels better.]
[That part is actually true, as personal as that fact is. Besides, especially now that he knows the gist of what happened, letting her feel terrible for whatever harm she did just doesn't sit right.]
don't blame yourself. it's like ptsd times ten. i'm sure a lot of the rest of us are going through the same kind of thing.
i know you don't want to hurt anyone. but that's just what happens sometimes, especially with all of the things we're getting from retrospec, and you can make up for it when it happens.
first, don't take it so hard. then try to work through it so it doesn't keep happening, and get whatever help you need. be patient with yourself about it, as well.
but buying lunch would probably be a good start.

it doesn't mean someone else wouldn't have. it was just the wrong place and the wrong time.
really, it's not that big a deal. and obviously you didn't succeed, so it's okay. it's not great, but it's fine.

Oops.]
I understand.
And thank you for your help.
I don't know why you got this message instead of Tatsuo, but thank you.

you're welcome. yours isn't the first misplaced text i've gotten this month, so it's likely retrospec again.
now that i've been found out, is there anything i can actually do for you as myself? perhaps get you some coffee or tea.
no subject
I shouldn't see anyone.

[It's not really his place to intrude, anyway.]
take care of yourself, then.
