Karkat, triggers are n9thing t9 j9ke a69ut. The afterlife-challenged have a hard en9ugh time as it is. S9me trap themselves in a sisyphusian cycle 9f punishment and reliving their 9wn MCS (M9rtal C9il Shedding – the c9mm9nly-accepted p9litically c9rrect term f9r the m9ment and circumstances ar9und 9ne’s change 9f state) 6ecause 9f whatever it is that they 6elieve they did wr9ng en9ugh t9 make them unw9rthy 9f passing 9n like m9st s9uls d9.
9n the 9ther hand, if I genuinely did say s9mething that triggered y9u, then I ap9l9gize, and hum6ly 6eg y9ur pard9n. If y9u c9uld enlighten me as t9 which t9pics I sh9uld av9id in the future, I will 6e very cauti9us as t9 d9 s9. It is the 9pp9site 9f my intenti9n t9 cause y9u distress with my presence. Least 9f all 6ecause we are family, whether y9u 6elieve it at the m9ment 9r n9t, 6ut als9 6ecause I dislike 9ffending any9ne.
