It sounds like whatever happened to them was purposely personal. Emet-Selch mentioned that they were all split up at the point things got psychological.

I don’t think you’re the only one. Sylvain Gautier has been… adorably protective of him. It’s quite cute. And also probably needed, given how he was acting the other week.
There are enough good people here that I think it'll help ground him. [ or at least good presenting. ] It helps to remind him he's not as terrible a person as he thinks is.
I don't want to see a Dimitri who gives up trying, but he is still trying now.
[ how large of an attempt is up in the air, but he's much too honest and sincere to fake it. for all his pleasantries, he just needs a trigger before he goes full ratshack. ]
It would be nice, if he had a chance to be happier. [ if he could accept more happiness into his life. ] It would be nice, if he realized his worth.
she has to cover her face. she doesn't know if this is something to laugh at because she knows it's terrible. she got a glimpse of how terrible he can be, so she can only imagine what he's like once he's completley gone. ]
... Fortunately, I can still do both with him. [ fortunately or surprisingly. ] But I suppose it was a little harder to do when we first met.
… I don’t know him as well as you do, I believe. But that’s to be expected. He’s still someone I think deserved better than what he got, but I’m certainly not the person to change that.

[ she isn't even looking at him. ]
no subject
Bless him, his heart is there and he's doing his best.
[ but not everyone has a str stat of 20 dimitri. boo you whore. ]
no subject
That is perhaps his redeeming feature.
no subject
[ he sounds amused. ]
Continued ignorance towards his ridiculous strength aside, he seems to be doing better than he was the other week at least.
no subject
[ she sounds cheerful about it.
... ]
He does. I was worried his Thursday experience would take him back to how he used to be.
no subject
no subject
I know what he can be like.
[ dimitri stabbed her three times. ]
no subject
For a moment, I wondered if it was happening again. He was about this age when I remember him changing.
no subject
[ ... ]
I don't want to see him go back to how he was. I'll try to keep an eye on him.
[ dimitri deserves better mental health. ]

[ at least, not yet. ]
no subject
Mm. Well… nipping it in the bud is a good idea. If it can be that easy.

[ or full of self-loathing. But shinobu knows it's hard to overcome years of trauma and years of guilt you do everything to hold onto. ]

… You worry about him a lot, hm?
no subject
[ her smile is a bit apologetic, a tinge sad. ]
I've done some terrible things to him, and yet he still... I don't know if I could extend kindness the way he has to me after what I did.
no subject
[ hmmm. ]
What did you do? If you don’t mind my asking.
no subject
Knowing what you know of Dimitri, what do you think are some of the worst things you can do to him?
no subject
Tell him to calm down.
Or try to talk any sense into him about his plans of action during the war.

It was little more drastic than that.

... from what I've heard, he's doing better now than he usually has from those of you in the future.
[ so she can continue to hope he won't become the dimitri that yuri saw. ]
