>>4450400> Is there a day of the year that's particularly difficult for her? How would you support her through it?this is a fantastic question pertaining to hanako
her birthday is absolutely her most dreaded day of the year due to being tied with her sense of self worth
she avoids the day not because she hates living, but because how others would treat her during this time, feigning sympathy and camaraderie just to abandon her once it’s over
she feels like a burden to most people, possessing shame and guilt by her perception of not being of value to those closest to her (of course this isn’t true, but the handholding and white knight mentality does more to hurt her then help, she simply wishes to mean something more to those she cares about)
the best thing I could do is reassure her that I need her just as much as she needs me, that friendship and love require both parties to give support when need be and receptive to the efforts of the other to care for and protect each other, by reiterating her value as a person to you, her sense of belonging would strengthen and she would develop the ability to allow herself to be helped while at the same time providing it to the person she loves
a question for you all: what does your waifu fear to lose the most?
for hanako it would be her friends, losing the one thing she truly desires and let’s her feel loved, in her own eyes, bringing them nothing but hardship and worry over her to where they would abandon her
she loves her few close friends more than any person I’ve met
