[It's a lot to take in and think about, when given all at once. She missed the chance to learn how to do this before Duplicity by having closed herself off so completely from those around her. Even her family got less from her than they needed to help her with this. Only Aloïs knew differently and they... Their relationship was entirely different, one built on trust and love deeper than platonic without being romantic. They simply knew each other differently.

I know some of that already, where it comes to how relationships grow and change. Those aren't something I build on my own, and they never could be. I don't want them to be either, because friendships and partnerships require something more than one person directing another through all the hardships of life.
I still feel as if I should be trying things for myself before I seek help. How can one learn when they don't make the attempt and accept they'll make mistakes? I apologize often, and it's why I spoke of mitigating harms. It's all I can do as I stumble my way to better understanding.
If I do need help from someone, I ask for it. I'm not above admitting I don't know something.
