[Normally, Elsa doesn't care for making text posts. Video helps her be more open people, and even after over a year here, she could always use more help with that! But there are still rare occasions where she just... doesn't trust her emotions to stay under control. So text it is for those days.]

For those of you who have been here for quite a while now:
Is there... any good way to cope with people from other worlds leaving?
I know that, when people from your own world leave, you can be comforted in the fact that you'll see them again when you return home.

But... what about those from other worlds?
They're gone, and unless you remain here for long enough that you return, you'll never see them again.
And if they're important to you, just as much as the people from your own world...

How can you get over the disappearance of someone like that?

That seems a bit...
Not harsh exactly.
A bit of an intense way to look at life?

You think so? I always look at it as a kind of risk-versus-reward kind of deal, almost. Life's going to beat the hell out of you, so you should make all the trouble it gives you worth going through.

I suppose I can understand when you put it that way.
But handling conflict like that seems a bit more difficult to do when your conflict is something less... physical than a solid enemy.

Okay, that ain't exactly as easy. But eventually you just kind of learn to let the difficult stuff roll off your shoulders, you know? It ain't easy, but once you've gotten through it a few times you kinda come out tougher for it.
