Hello…… um…… could you please not come quite so close yet?

I-I’m not saying I don’t want you here…… it’s just that it’s my first time meeting someone I don’t know, so I get a little nervous. Really, only a little…… sniff.
My name is CLARISSE. But…… you might think I’m a little small. I think so too.

Ah…… you said…… you don’t think I’m small?
……And you think I’m pretty, too?
(blushes)
Th-thank you……

I…… suppose I should introduce myself properly……
My hobby is…… quietly doing nothing. Does that count?

I also quite like observing things. Feeling those very, very small things…… I wonder if you can understand what I mean.

For example, Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor is very beautiful…… but I feel there is a little sadness and uneasiness hidden behind the music.

And there was a lady I saw before. She was talking with her husband, and she covered her mouth as she laughed, bending over with laughter. But somehow, I could feel that she seemed a little lonely.

I notice things like that.

So…… I suppose my power isn’t about making people fearless.

It is more about helping someone hold on to a little bit of clarity when they are about to be overwhelmed by their own emotions.

I can stay beside you and slowly help you untangle the sadness you cannot put into words.

Let the confusion become quiet again, and help you understand what you are truly sad about, what makes your heart flutter, and what you truly care about.

Rose Quartz is my heart, so I suppose I was simply born too sensitive to love and emotions.

Pearls help me hold on to those tiny, precious feelings, so I don’t forget where I am meant to stand.

And I have Tourmaline, too! I heard it can release negative ions, like the air in a forest after the rain. It makes people slow down and relax without even realising it.

When your mind feels like it is filled with tangled threads, I can help you gently loosen those knots, one by one.

I like people who are willing to honestly face themselves.

I don’t need you to be strong all the time, and I don’t need you to have everything figured out.

If one day you feel very sad…… you can tell me.

I might even cry with you.

But after we finish crying, I’ll stay beside you and help you wipe your tears dry.

……So, you can come a little closer now.

I-I’m ready.

Mm……

Just a little bit, okay? (｡•́︿•̀｡)
