Chapter 16: With Great Empathy
"There might be more going on with my Class than I realized," Honoka said from her seat on the bed, now wearing a loose pair of blue sweats and a white spaghetti blouse with an open back to let the salve absorb effectively into the burns.
The council of wives sat in the middle of the floor, not much else to do with no chairs. They didn't say anything. All of them were in sleeping clothes, the emergency dragging them out here this late at night and making it look like the most depressing slumber party ever. Diane was crossed legged, her elbows on her knees and her hands propping her head up, her tail and wings draping around her for comfort. She wore a t-shirt from her former bust size, a cartoon turtle stretched to almost tearing while a pair of white lace panties were swallowed inside her prodigious assets. Eve wore a long sleeping shirt that went down to her feet. With knees up to her chest inside the large brown and white striped shirt, none of them able to determine if she wore anything else. Banda stretched out, her hooves reaching the edge of the bed and her arms straight behind her to keep her propped up. She was in a pair of long black gym shorts with the world's most colossal black sports bra trying to contain her massive milkers. Georgia waited outside in her car for the council to finish.
"...I've been finding, for the last week, that I'm not acting like myself." Honoka looked really uncomfortable, but she needed to say this. "Before that, though, I think I should let you know I am diagnosed with severe depression and that today wasn't the first time I tried to take my life." Turning her right wrist around, there was a faint scar running down the middle of her forearm. "I was fourteen. My oldest brother found me and took me to a hospital. I lost three pints of blood and would have died. That was my only attempt. However, there have been close calls, such as today and last Thursday."
"Everyone has problems, nothing to be ashamed about," Eve said, oddly serious for the green woman.
"Anyway, that's what went on in my head before my Class began collecting people. After I connected with Diane, I found myself suddenly more assertive and with a bit of a devil-may-care attitude. I quit my job, I decided to be a delver, I got engaged. The same day after collecting Eve and Banda, I'm teasing Diane to the point of trying to publicly orgasm her in the street and then becoming blind with rage over an attack on my family. Not to say I don't get angry, but I went completely berserk." Looking at Banda, Honoka inquired with her eyes.
"Yeah, its something I don't talk about," Banda replied, deflating a bit. "When I became a teenager, I suffered from a huge temper, would lose it if I wasn't paying attention. I took counseling and spend an hour every day meditating, haven't lapsed in months."
"What are you saying, Hono-chan?" Diane guessed at this point, they all could, but it needed asking.
"I think my Class secretly includes an empathic link attached to it, and we're all absorbing a bit of each other in the process. Thinking back to one of the weird Status visions I shared with Diane, I distinctly remember feeling parts of us merging." Sighing, Honoka hugged herself as she looked at her feet. "I don't know what this means or how it will affect us in the end. It looks like it is messing me up, but I think it might be doing the same to you all, to some degree or another."
"What?" Eve asked, struggling to keep her wandering focus on the conversation.
"While Honoka is getting a little bit of each of us," Diane replied, understanding where this was headed, "we're all getting a part of Honoka."
"We might become more depressed suddenly," Banda said, looking depressed, "or experience more problems around crowds and social situations."
"And we might also find ourselves more caring, more loyal and more loving." Diane smiled, realizing her fresh outlook on life was not just because of Honoka, but that it literally
came
from Honoka.
"Maybe we'll even all grow little dicks!" Eve put in, going for a laugh. The others glared back at her after what Honoka went through earlier that night. "Sorry."
"I don't imagine any of you can forgive me for pulling you into this, but if there's ever anything I can do for you, I will do it." Honoka tensed while she held herself, wishing they wouldn't see this as some kind of betrayal or way to control them. She was surprised, then, as large muscular arms encircled her, followed by others with a wing and tail, the last to join in crawling up her legs and wrapping around her waist.
"No one is immune from the influence of other people," Banda said, keeping the hug but easing her weight slowly on the bed. "Family especially. Your influence is just more direct than normal."
"I like it, personally," Eve stated, burying her face in Honoka's non-existent chest. "I'm a bit of an airhead,
and
it sounds like you get to loosen up a little. On the flip side, you complete me!"
This time everyone laughed. Honoka tried to wrap her arms around everyone. "Thank you," she whispered.
"Well, enough mushy stuff, we have a Code Climax to take care of and my Hunger is in the teens." Diane pulled out of the hug and strode over to her phone, but everyone looked at her funny. "Code Climax, as in Code Ejaculation? Jizz Imminent? Need To Butter The Corn? Make a deposit at the Spank Bank?" She moved her loose fist in a jacking-off motion as she handled her phone with the other, ending with a loud
*splrt*
noise through her lips and tongue.
