I'm well aware, just felt like dunking on vtubers for the hell of it. And funny you say that, considering I resent winter the most out of all seasons. I don't even have to deal with snow and it pains me. Always thought of Letty as being warm in her own way, though. Plenty of excuse to stay inside and stay cozy, anyway.

That's kinda what I was trying to get at, albeit not very well. Most people today don't particularly rely on a "close-knit community" as much as they do the greater scope of a population at large, and depending on your circumstance you can live just fine with the bare minimum social interactions (which is extremely unhealthy regardless). Still, our brain rewards us with as little as seeing someone smile, which tends to happen a lot when you dote on someone.

I do think there are plenty of people out there with hearts frigid enough where treating others kindly is done entirely to climb the ladder of life, and any satisfaction is secondary to their main goals, whatever it may be. I'm no saint by any means, but that just feels like such a waste of your life.

There's definitely a lot of reasons to act that way, and at the end of the day you should only really care about how it matters to you. I'd be lying if I said that aspect of control wasn't a part of it to some extent; I think that's reflected on what I said about trust earlier. Sometimes you want to leave all the doing to someone else, and sometimes you want to do all the things for someone. Or do them.

That's exactly the kind of thing I mean. Surprise her with little acts and treats, share some of the things only you've experienced with her, put her in situations she otherwise might've never had the chance to go through. And enjoy her reactions.

More people should give it a try. Feels great to give what most consider a motherly character a chance to relax and take it easy for a while. Feel like I'd need to throw in some teasing now and again, though. Can't let her get too comfortable.
