You decide that it must be comfort or care. Fear is such a strong and violent emotion that the opposite must be something soft and gentle. Comfort has gotten you through some tough times when even courage has failed you. Surely, this year has taught you that you can withstand a lot of darkness and fear so long as you remember to take care of yourself.

​

But what is "comfort"? Feeling comfortable isn't something that you can just summon at a moment's notice. Furthermore, how is that a weapon to use against Noct? That's when it hits you: fear is disempowered when you refuse to give into it. Comfort and care IS fighting fear. If you don't feed fear-- feed the darkness -- then eventually it is so small that it no longer matters!

​

You sit in a well-worn chair with your books and think about it. This isn't something you'll be able to find in a book. You must be clever enough to figure out how to use comfort. Perhaps you watch your favorite TV show again? Or read your favorite book for the thousandth time? What about a hot bath with tea and candles? Maybe it's something so personal and specific that only YOU know what it is...
