YSK if you've seen something traumatic, playing Tetris for a couple of hours afterwards can drastically reduce the chance of it becoming a deeprooted memory and causing PTSD

What happened?

I get being curious, but different people have different timelines and levels of comfort when processing their trauma.

If they're ready to discuss and let you know what happened, they'll offer the amount of information they're prepared to share. If they don't offer, then please respect their space.

That's good advice for real life. But this is the internet. The social consequences for just not answering the dude are zero. It's not even rude to completely ignore him. The story was teased, almost begging for the question. They may have wanted it asked.

If they want to share, they'll share. I don't think they're going to feel prsssured because the internet asked.

Right? And if they don't respond, its not like anyone here is gonna fucking hammer them to reply. This thread will die of obscurity like they always do and most people won't even remember chatting here.

I have C-PTSD and I hate when people try to get all over protective about trauma. People can ask things. Especially if they are brought up.
