It's activated through touch? That is fascinating. Perhaps an adaption from the arcade well aware that you weren't born to possess such an ability?

[There's a moment before there's another response.]

If you show me how to feel hatred so I may better understand Coda, I'm more than willing to help you practice. I'm able to clear my heart if I'm not feeling anything too strongly. Theoretically, if you were to touch me in such a state, you'd feel nothing but yourself.

[breakaleginhalf]

Yeah, that seems about right.

I can clear people's minds too, actually, I kind of found it by accident. But I can turn off whatever people are feeling for as long as I'm touching them still. Is that, like. A normal empathy thing??

But yeah, I'd be happy to teach you hate, for all of that. [That was going to be. Wild.]

[soulbonder]

I'm familiar with empathy being used for emotional manipulation. However, it isn't used to turn emotions 'off,' but rather increase what is already present to overwhelm someone and make them easier to control.

It's not something I can do.

[breakaleginhalf]

I mean, if I can do one I can probably do the other, right? It's manipulation either way. And then practising that to make you feel hate works out for both of us.

[soulbonder]

Yes.

Thank you.
