yep

think of them like permanent combat links-- it won't be so nerve wracking that way

[overworker]

I suppose that's not exactly false but still



I guess it would be easier to look at it that way.

[Has she been over thinking it this entire time? Probably.]

But there is a much smaller limit to what's safe to do with them, so it doesn't feel right to say it's as simple as that.

[fiddlestick]

Well it is true that Bonds are more intense than Combat Links. My first bond took more getting used to than I thought it would...

But I'd still say a lot of people overthink what a Bond means. At the end of the day, it's a mutually beneficial partnership. As long as you trust someone to be emotionally open with them, that's all you really need.

[overworker]

Yes, that was what I thought after my first experience with them too.

[The broken temporary Bond with Rean had given her a lot to think about in the beginning. But we don't talk about those times anymore.]

Honestly, I've had some doubts about myself I've been trying to work though. I wanted to be sure before I made that commitment that I could trust myself to be able to support the people I wanted to. Now, I think I'm ready to do that. At least... with two, anyway. I don't know about three yet...

[sylphid]

anybody would be lucky to bond with you i hope you know that

[fiddlestick]

Yeah, Fie's right. If we weren't both witches, I would've been happy to bond with you Towa.

[Because Towa is amazing???]

Really though, you should take however many bonds you feel comfortable with. You just need one to get by, so it's not a problem if you decide not to have a third.

[overworker]

You guys...

Thank you. It really means a lot to hear you both say that.

By now it feels like I should already know that. It's not the first time I've struggled with it. And yet every time my position changes, I find myself wondering the same things.

Instead of spending all my time worrying about what's changed, I should start focusing on what I can do to fulfill that role to the best of my ability, whether that's as a Student Council President, a Captain-- or as a Witch.

[fiddlestick]

Haha, it's okay. We're here to remind you as many times as you need to hear it. I know I can be the same way.

I have no doubts you'll get it your all with fulfilling any role you take. Though I plan to work hard to make sure you're not the only one doing witch duty.
