I heard Asuka-san was attacked by those anti-monster protestors recently.

I'll admit, the more this issue is becoming prominent in the city and the more violent it's seeming to be getting, I've been feeling more than just a little worried when I'm out and about in the city. I'm constantly looking over my shoulder and feeling on edge.

Granted, the only place I've really talked about my unique situation is here and at SAI itself and I'm thankfully very 'human' presenting, but still...

... things don't feel very safe right now.

Thankfully, so far, no one has.
I definitely can't let my guard down while I'm out on my own though. Even if they don't target me because of my heritage, which isn't common knowledge outside of this community, then they could target myself or Yuma, simply because Yuma works at SAI.

Alright. I'm going to give you a piece of advice:

If they come looking for trouble, give them trouble. Folks like that target people because they think they're unable to defend themselves-- easy prey to barter and threaten with, versus the hornet's nest they're apparently wanting to kick at right now with what's going on.

I can take a guess that your first instinct is to hide whatever it is you can do, but that isn't going to be worth anything if you get kidnapped or worse by some idiots who think they can get away with it for any reason.

I've been apprehensive of the idea of using my powers against them, in case it fuels their hate even more, but... that hate is already there anyway.
Nothing I do, or don't do, will change that.

You're right. If it comes to having to defend myself by using my powers, I will.
They wouldn't be expecting it and I'm pretty sure I could telekinetically throw them pretty far.

Throwing them might be enough if it comes down to it. It creates distance, it'll confuse them, and they can't really see something like that coming.

Just keep it in mind. Don't give them an inch to actually do something to you.

[longingfreesia]

I absolutely won't.

Thank you, Shark.

[deepseahunter_shark]

Don't thank me too much. Really.
