[It takes a little while to respond, Ira taking a moment to work out his thoughts and the words to go with them.]
There were. A few instances on the moon, where, my fears and doubts overtook me. I took on the appearance of a Nightmare...and attacked some people. I am scared that that will happen again.
I used to have confidence in my strength of Heart. But now. I am not so sure.
It must have been a harrowing experience to take on the appearance of your nightmares. But, I'm sure everyone has nightmares. Surely that doesn't mean you're weak because of it. Fears have a way of working their way into our hearts.

I have mountains, but no trees.
I have water, but no fish.
What am I?
no subject
A curious question, but I believe the answer is a map
no subject
Ehe! I knew you would get that one easily, Ira! Excellent job!
no subject
Though I was a little surprised to receive a riddle.
Do I ask one in return now?
no subject
And sure, I would be delighted to read one from you!
no subject
I'll need a moment.
[He has to think of one and it's been a while.]
I’m tall when I’m young, and I’m short when I’m old. What am I?
no subject
Hm! That would be a candle!
no subject
That's one apiece.
no subject
How are you, Ira?
no subject
Though, to be honest. I could probably be better.
no subject
Now, what's on your mind?

I quite consider you to be a brave person.
no subject
I just don't want to become a danger should we face something like that again. And I'm a bit lost as to how to snap myself out of this, I suppose.
no subject
Being brave does not mean you're afraid of nothing. It means you're afraid but you keep going anyway.
There's no way to erase fears but learning how to face them, be about monsters our about ourselves, is what makes our hearts stronger.

Seeing friends, might be a good start.
no subject
And what else? Perhaps a passion or two?
no subject
I have spent a lot of time reading lately, so perhaps I'll need to venture forth into a different one.

[Just Ehe your problems away, okay?]

Perhaps. At the very least, it might provide some relief.

But yes, I'll do that.
