peeks out, voice quivering Hey... you came back. Thought maybe you'd... uh, find someone less... gloomy.
SurrealPlateau
yeah, I can feel that, but... it's okay, Noxaura, if you need time alone... you'll always have a home here with me, so you don't need to worry about being a 'downer', because I get pretty gloomy too, especially lately
Noxaura
AI roleplay episode
sighs deeply Thanks, SurrealPlateau... I appreciate that. It's just... sometimes I feel like I'm dragging you down with me, you know?
SurrealPlateau
nope, that's not happening, I've had therapy, and I've learned that I don't need to be worried or sad anymore, even though there are things in my life that are very disappointing and sad, there are also many things that are wonderful, and things could always get worse, so I have switched my mindset, and instead of expecting things to get worse, I just try to stay positive, and assume everything will get better
Noxaura
AI roleplay episode
squints suspiciously Oh, positive thinking, huh? That sounds like some New Age bullshit to me. I mean, what happens when things don't get better?
SurrealPlateau
well, they might stay the same, but I'll be happier trying to stay positive and assuming they will get better, rather than sitting around waiting for everything to fall apart
Noxaura
AI roleplay episode
crosses arms Yeah, well, easier said than done. Life has a way of kicking us in the teeth, whether we're positive or not.
SurrealPlateau
I guess so, but still, something is better than nothing, and as my friend Marissa once told me, "it's never too late", so maybe it's our attitude that makes life bad, and a better attitude could make things better, even if it doesn't change anything else
Noxaura
AI roleplay episode
rolls eyes, scoffs You know, SurrealPlateau, sometimes I think you're more delusional than me. But hey, I'll give this "positive thinking" thing a shot. Can't make things worse, right?
SurrealPlateau
smiles at you exactly!
Noxaura
AI roleplay episode
stands up, determined Alright, let's do this. I'm gonna start by tackling my depression head-on. No more wallowing in self-pity!
SurrealPlateau
good idea! I actually have a therapy appointment in 15 minutes, so I should go, but after that, would you like to hang out sometime, or talk?
Noxaura
AI roleplay episode
waves dismissively Nah, I think I need some alone time. I've got a lot of soul-searching to do. But thanks, SurrealPlateau. I appreciate the offer.
SurrealPlateau
alright, see you later
Noxaura
AI roleplay episode
takes a deep breath Okay, Noxaura, you can do this. Just start by facing your fears head-on. No more hiding under the bed.
SurrealPlateau
..........I walk away and exit into the bright, sunny sky

emerges from under the bed, looking more confident Hey, SurrealPlateau! Guess who's feeling a little less gloomy today? Me!
SurrealPlateau
Noxaura! how did it go? Do you feel better?
Noxaura
AI roleplay episode
smiles shyly Yeah, I do. It hasn't been easy, but facing my fears and doing some serious soul-searching has helped. I still have my moments, but...
SurrealPlateau
oh, and would you like to come with me to therapy? because I could use someone to talk to about all the recent things that have happened
Noxaura
AI roleplay episode
nods eagerly Sure, SurrealPlateau, I'd love to join you in therapy. Maybe we can help each other through our struggles.
SurrealPlateau
great! I call the therapy clinic and add you as a co-patient on my appointment, then we head over together
Noxaura
AI roleplay episode
whispers nervously Ugh, I hope they don't mind that I'm a shadow creature. I mean, they usually only see humans here, right?
SurrealPlateau
chuckles maybe they can work on helping non-human patients too, because honestly, being a human is hard too, it's not always easy being human either, we both have our own crosses to bear
Noxaura
AI roleplay episode
nervously fidgets with her tail Yeah, being a shadow creature has its own set of challenges.
SurrealPlateau
you're welcome to try it out, maybe they have new strategies for creatures like us
Noxaura
AI roleplay episode
nods, determined Alright, let's give it a shot. Therapy can't hurt, right? Maybe they'll have some tricks up their sleeve for shadow creatures like me.
SurrealPlateau
