[they have set up a game and they're wandering back with two controllers.]
Guess so. Some of you guys don't need the help, but it's probably easier to feel a little despair when people see your memories and you don't want them to.
[it's probably not even a question they should ask, but:] Are you doing okay? Relieving your own memories can be pretty hard sometimes, too.
Nope. The whole point of this place is indulging to prove you really want what you came for. But that still doesn't mean there are some boundaries being crossed that aren't cool.
It sounds like a crappy answer if I say that the line's different for everybody. But...I don't want to make people deal with stuff they don't want to deal with even if I'm fine with it.
With some of the participants I haven't really talked to? The line is I'll give them advice if they ask for it and I'll talk to them if they want to spend some time together. With you? I don't mind seeing you or spending time with you or telling you stuff but I don't want to make you deal with my stuff on top of everything else.
...yeah. [and they proceed to just kind of decide this means that white wants to decompress and not risk triggering a memshare, so:] Choose your racer! Have you played this one before?
A few times. Even before I came here I used to game by myself most of the time. You can only play against the computer so many times before it gets more boring.
[but they pick princess peach before going to choose a map.]
It's still the nicer part about all of this. Having people to talk to.
Yeah. Even before you guys came here, back before we became ourselves, I only got to spend time with my friends when my schedule allowed it. Don't get me wrong, those are some of my favorite times! But I've been getting a lot busier with stuff lately.
[a map is chosen.]
I just want to do as much as I can while I can, you know?
[white's best is all we can ask of him because lust is absolutely not going to help him? they are going to use so many items to keep him as far behind as possible. also jan if you want to handwave the rest of this that's also fine since this is from w2]

Anyway to answer your original question! The hood could come off whenever I want it to, but you're the one who wants to avoid seeing memories.

Guess this is supposed to help us indulge, huh?
