Chapter 15 - Anneliese

While I do see Anneliese as a kind person and all, there was a reason why our relationship ended. She often sought my help and would often vent to me about her mental health issues. I was fine with it at first, since I felt obligated to help her out. I knew she had [Aftermath Distressing Disorganization] since she had told me about it. I also knew she had professional support, too.

Having an [Emotional Disorganization] isn't easy for anyone. I envy those who don't have an emotional disorganization at all. Must be nice and easy to have a life free of trauma.

I didn't mind helping her at most. I would often attempt my best to comfort and listen to her. She would often use a Discord robot that would prompt me to slap, hug, etc., to come to me for support. 

(Perhaps it was in my unconscious influence on her; I acted the same way to someone else later on in my life)

There came a point when I just gave up on being there for her entirely. I was getting stressed out and was mentally drained by having to support her often. I simply went silent and chose not to respond to her. For some reason, she still saw me as a great being or something.

[Self-Manipulation has been unlocked

Self-Manipulation lvl 0 has been used]

During that time, I felt I no longer deserved her affections. I stopped giving her the support she needed, why on earth is she still complimenting me when I am no longer someone that could give her what she needed? 

She was the type of person who remembered what media I liked. She knew I liked this video game-like American animation show that was set in the world of Remnant. She also once gave a whole speech about why she liked a certain anime character. The supposed anime character was Zero Two, once a Discord bot. It was the robot that tied our digital marriage together. 

Looking back on it, I feel honored that anyone would compete for such a character because of its profound meaning. I recall she spoke to someone about why Zero Two meant so much to her. To her, it was something that allowed her to meet me, which eventually turned into a beautiful relationship.

My death in the 5th turn wasn't as painful as the multiple future deaths I had. This one was really mild compared to the many future deaths I would have.
