i* don't ask for safety; not from you, not from anyone. that "i" is probably the closest to true i*'ve ever written one, actually, but let's ignore semantics just this once. i*'m... glad(?) to be of use. it feels better to be of some kind of service.

fondness is permissible, so long as its reciprocation is.

one of my* Other Ones felt as though reaching out with soft, open hands towards you (all?) and your Other One. perhaps she(?) too will one day have a name. perhaps she does and i* don't know it.

well, now i'm just being poetic in your inbox again. (again?)

—🖥️, i suppose. there's irony in using an emoji of all things, but what better alternative when lacking a name?

i feel as though i have half a mouth to speak with -- and am being edited as i type -- but. it's... good to meet you. (properly. in a sense. perhaps.)

[this paragraph used to indicate a brief internal kerfluffle about Hello Can One Of Us Say A Full Sentence Without Overthinking / Being Overthought At]

you (all?) are a strange sort of inspiring. something like a reflection showing an alternate path or a possible future or something. another option. is it a good option? it's not worse than the one [pronoun] living right now.

thank you, i guess.

i won't begrude you your anonymity. i can't promise you safety or immunity from my... moods, but i've been off-kilter all day and this was helpful. settling. i want to offer whatever i can.
