I left the Care House, and the street was nearly empty now, which was a relief.
"The entrance is around the south side of the building," Senna said, pointing down the street, and I nodded.
"Sure, lead on," I said, but my mind was wandering.
I was trying to think of how I could get to a point where everyone could all have enough Positive Energy to block out the Negative Energy. There were many ways I could do it individually, like sex, cuddling, or having fun with them, but I was only one person for three days.
Unlike magic, Positive Energy couldn't just be collected or pulled in. There was no specific amount you could hold, nor was there a limit, but that was the same for the Negative. The main difference was the more Negative Energy one had, the less they valued their own life.
In order to get Positive Energy, it needs to be given or earned. It was similar to the way that Karma worked. You are likely to receive what you give out, but you can't take it for yourself, only from others.
"Galio? We are here," Senna said as she opened the door.
I had been in autopilot mode while walking. Now I needed to get back to focusing on the task, but it was part of my query.
"Sorry, I am just trying to figure out how I am going to get everyone in one shot here and how to protect everyone in the coming days," I explained as I entered the building.
The lobby area that we entered was dark oak with a green carpet. There was a glass-covered ticket booth, but there was no one there.
"You just need to show them positive things, right?" Senna asked as the sounds of crying started to get louder as we walked down a short hallway that led to a pair of closed double doors.
"It has to be more than just showing. It's not like I can just tell some jokes, but that isn't to say that something like that wouldn't work. It is just not the right crowd for that kind of thing, and while laughter is an amazing source, it pales in comparison to the Positive Energy of kindness and love," I explained as Senna, and I opened the doors up.
The theater was a beautiful place with two levels and private balconies, but the main level was all seats filled with crying women.
"Well, I don't know how you are going to get everyone in one shot. This theater holds a good amount of people, but not all of the women here are crying. That is a good sign, right?" Senna asked, and I shrugged.
"Some people are built differently and can handle Negative Energy better than others, but that doesn't mean it isn't affecting them. Believe me, I know what it is like to hold and force all the Negative Energy down inside," I explained.
The loss of my memories constantly grated at me, and now Tallia forgetting who I was weighed me down. She was the only person that had any clue as to who I was before this, but I always remembered that this was only temporary.
"Galio!" Karla called out to me, and I turned to see her dragging a crying Silvy over to me.
"Oh dear, you are not looking good, Silvy," I said with a gentle smile.
Silvy looked up at me with tear-filled eyes and broke into tears again. I reached forward and grabbed both women to pull them into a hug kissing the tops of both their heads, and pressed my face in between the tops of them. Even Karla had started to weep once her face was in my chest, and I stoked both girls' hair.
"It's okay. I know you are filled with sadness right now, but I am here, and the monster is gone. I defeated it, so there is nothing to worry about. There is another coming, but just like this one, I will defeat it," I said, and both women relaxed and hugged me back with sighs.
"Why do I feel so much better now? I was so sad and worried before, but now it is like I was never sad. How does that work? Did you cast a spell?!" Karla asked after she wiped her face on my shirt.
"No magic, just Positive Energy. I care about all of you deeply, and it hurts me to see you, girls, all like this. I have the power to make people smile, and it is greater than any magic I can use. Love and happiness are the keys to life," I explained, and Karla rested her head on my chest again.
"Thank you for this. I guess that Listenia had a good reason to want to follow you. I was unsure about you when we met, and even more so when I saw you fighting. Now, I can see your goals and purpose, and I am sure she made the right choice. I will tell Elfinia about this, which should quiet her concerns," Silvy explained after wiping her face on my shoulder.
That was something I didn't know, but I would ask Listenia directly about her mother when I saw her. I had no idea that it had created a rift between Goddess and daughter.
"While you are both cute, I am going to be soaked in snot and tears if everyone keeps wiping their faces on me!" I laughed, and both women blushed and looked away from the fairly large stains they had created.
"I think you should think about visiting the tailor today. I know that you might not see it as important, but the clothes you are wearing don't fit you and don't do you justice. I think you might be more inspiring if you were dressed better," Senna offered, and Silvy and Karla nodded.
"I know Deloris, and I will introduce her to you after this if you want?! She is a Forest Elf and is very good with Sewing Magic! She will have you in and out in no time!" Silvy said but continued when I tried to disagree. "Senna is right. Your appearance will play a big part in how people will look at you! If you want to spread this Positive Energy, then you need to look like you are full of it!"
