As she listens Rio takes a small sip of her tea. "Things which get burried but not solved might return when they get the chance and you don't pay attention. Even though they can change from becoming unloved thoughts or memories to yokais... demons which will haunt you. It won't be easy to get your soul and inner self into balance again."
She gives him some moments to think over what she said before she continues. "Captain I won't lie to you with telling you that it will be easy and done in no time. You will have to work hard, you might even suffer from flashbacks of the most horrifying moments in your life. I can listen, I can aid you when you need it, I can give you techniques to return to the here and now but I can not force you to work on it, and I can't ease the horror you might have to face again. The tools I think which might help you right now might sound strange but they can help you. If you are willing to use them."
She takes another sip, watching the man infront of her very attentive. Knowing how much it troubles him that he can't handle it alone anymore and he actually had to ask for help of a more or less stranger to him. Also realising that some of her ideas won't work because this pilot lives to fly his ship and keeping him from this again would destroy his soul once again, definietly this time. "For the beginning you should start to meditate everyday, it helps to calm the thoughts, sharpens your focus on things and might make it easier for you to decide which topic you would talk about with me. For now we will take it in your pace, as slow or fast as it may be. You should also think about starting with Yoga practice, it will help you to calm down as well, still I leave the decision for this one up to you."
