That's right. Think about all of the things you've felt. It's not as simple as - the feelings that are noisiest, right? You might have felt fear, but there were also moments, I'm sure, where you felt courage, or pride, or anger...anything.
It's good to remember you don't have to be defined by whatever feeling is strongest for the time being.
I've never "been" Scarlet, but when all of this is happening... I'm trying to be brave, courageous enough to keep going. And when we were away last Thursday I was so angry about the President and everything he did.
[he has no idea what any of this means, but he nods solemnly.]
That's awful. And feeling anger towards a person like that, a President of the United States - that's healthy. That's a part of you.
I think we're asking you to think on that, on what other parts of you exist. When you're losing who you are, remembering how you feel is something to hang onto.
Memories might come and go, but the feelings seem to stay. He'd think, before this, that it was memories that make up a person. Maybe it's more like a combination of it all.]

It hurts... But- I know he wouldn't want to stay like that...

I know. I'm sorry it happened to him. It wasn't anything anyone could have prevented.
no subject
It wasn't... Nobody could've stopped it.

Sometimes it's necessary, to lose things if it means a chance for something better. I think that's what we're all coming to terms with.
no subject
I'm... scared too, with all of these tears and the gray. But... I wanna hope it's a sign of something good happening.

The task for this week... That's self-reflection, right?
