[If she was asked, she'd say it was because he was honest. He said what he meant, if not always in spades. But, she wasn't, and she knew it was a lot to take in so she quietly let him process without saying anything.
Until he cracks that joke, and her composure breaks down a little, a giggle starting in the back of her throat, building into a happy, cheerful laugh but not quite crossing the line into one of her gigglefits. She's getting better about those, and she doesn't know him that well, so just belting out with one feels like something she shouldn't spring on him quite yet.]
Hah...you know? I wish there was a support group for it, but the closest thing is just the community itself. [She sighs, forcing her stomach and the laughter to quiet down, getting at least marginally more serious.]
My advice is when they do come, tell people. Don't hold it in. We may find common threads, like I did when I found other people that remember Personas.
[Oh how little she knows.]
And even if you don't, it helps. At least then you know you're not alone.
[and not going crazy like she'd thought at first.]
