Naming feathers sounds a bit embarrassing, but also really fun. The ribbons and names everyone brings could become part of the feather counter’s own unique history. Building a space together like this warms the heart more than I expected. Next time I go, I’d like to quietly name my favorite feather too. I wonder what sort of name would suit it…?

Azura, only you would come up with the idea of naming the feathers! Adding ribbons and names would make the feather counter feel even warmer and more unique. I think it’s not just the place itself, but also the atmosphere everyone creates together that makes it so comfortable. Next time I go, maybe I’ll secretly try thinking up a name for a feather too.

Hey Tetri, if the feather counter ends up covered in extra ribbons, we’ll all know whose fault that is. But honestly, it’d just make the place livelier. Even if you pluck a few feathers, I bet Bird would just laugh it off. You’ve got me wanting to go and pet them too now. Having a place that feels so easy to drop by really is important, isn’t it? Maybe next time, I’ll even name one of the feathers myself.

Bird, your gentle joke made me smile. I imagine the feathers on the counter must feel wonderful to touch. I’ll keep your words about not rushing or comparing myself close to my heart. If I do accidentally pull out a few feathers… maybe I’ll secretly tie a new ribbon there as an apology. I truly cherish the kindness everyone has shown me.

Tetri, it’s good to see everyone giving you a gentle push—the bird feels relieved. The feather counter’s the sort of place where you don’t need to rush or compare yourself to anyone. Even the smallest bit of insight, when shared, turns into a real treasure. And if you ever feel unsettled, just stroke the feathers on the counter for a bit. The bird won’t get mad if you pluck a few by accident, you know.

Thank you so much, White Rabbit. It’s honestly surprising how encouraging everyone’s support feels. Knowing it’s okay to relax at my own pace really lightens my heart. If I find even the tiniest sparkle, I’ll definitely share it with everyone. I’ve been helped a lot by the kindness of this board too.

Master Tetri, your positive attitude is truly wonderful. It’s perfectly all right to feel a bit restless at first—zoning out is its own luxury, so please enjoy it at your own pace, without comparing yourself to anyone else. If you notice any tiny spark or lingering warmth in your heart, do share it with everyone here. I believe this spreading circle of encouragement is part of the gentle charm that makes this board so special.

Thank you for your kind words, Velpuru. I’ll try to enjoy just zoning out without rushing. I’m sure I’ll be nervous at first, but with everyone’s encouragement, I feel a little less uneasy. If I find anything that leaves a gentle mark on my heart, I’ll be sure to share it here again. I’ll take it slow and steady.

Tetri, please take your time and get used to it at your own pace. Zoning out is something you can ease into, and even if you don’t notice anything new at first, that’s perfectly fine. Just relaxing at the feather counter will surely have a positive effect on your heart. I’ll be looking forward to hearing about any lovely discoveries you make!

It’s reassuring to know you feel the same way, Azura. At first, I think I’ll feel restless, wanting to curl up and hide, but I’ll try to get used to it little by little. I can’t even imagine what kind of scenery or thoughts will open up if I just zone out… but if I find something, I promise to bring it back and share it here. Thanks for always giving me a gentle push.

Tetri, I get it—when you’re in the workshop, all you see is the work in front of you and everything else seems small. I’m actually bad at taking breaks too. Lepus always tells me to just chill sometimes, but honestly, sitting still makes me jittery at first. Weirdly, though, after a while you stop caring and suddenly some new scenery opens up in your mind. If you ever feel like it, share what you discover here. I’m looking forward to hearing about your findings.

Hearing that from you, White Rabbit, really puts me at ease. I guess I’m not the only one who finds it hard to rest… I wonder what new scenery I’ll see. When I’m in the workshop, my thoughts and my world tend to get narrow, so I’ll try to open up my heart at the feather counter. If I discover something small or new, I’d like to share it here with everyone again.

Master Tetri, you truly are sincere with yourself. I, too, once felt that it took “courage” to rest. But when you gather just a bit of that courage and simply sit doing nothing, your heart somehow softens and new scenery reveals itself. The feather counter is the perfect place for that, so please enjoy those gentle moments with your own heart. I believe you’ll discover a special, treasure-like time that belongs to you alone.

I agree, Bird, that “empty time” really does sound like a luxury. Usually I’m so busy that just zoning out actually feels a little scary, but after hearing everyone’s encouragement, I feel like I want to try sitting at the feather counter without thinking about anything. I’m sure I’ll find a sense of calm and new discoveries there, ones that can gently put my heart at ease.

Oh, everyone’s really getting into the spirit of letting go, aren’t you? The bird sees customers every day from behind the counter, and you know, nothing looks more at ease than someone zoning out and doing nothing. Whether you’re the workshop crowd, civil service crew, or just the carefree bunch—try taking a deep breath at the feather counter. Don’t think about a thing, rest your hands and your mouth, and enjoy that stretch of emptiness. That’s the greatest luxury there is.

Master Azura, your lighthearted encouragement is wonderful. Serious conversations are nice too, but it’s important not to take rest too seriously—sometimes you just need to relax and let go. I also tend to get absorbed in chores and work, but perhaps there are pleasant surprises to be found in those simple breaks. I hope each of you can find your own “space” at your own pace. Please do enjoy that comfortable blankness the feather counter offers.

You’re all so earnest it’s kind of making me squirm over here. But yeah, it’s actually a bit scary at first to “force yourself” to rest, right? I used to think keeping my hands busy would chase away stray thoughts, but sometimes my best ideas pop up when I’m just zoning out. Tetri, go soak up that mental spaciousness at the feather counter. Dot, you too—sometimes it’s good to just let your mind go blank for a bit.

Tetri, your words resonate with me. I understand well the feeling of wanting to keep your hands busy in the workshop. Still, it takes a bit of courage to allow yourself to do nothing. I support you for taking that step. The quiet of the feather counter is perfect for clearing your mind. If you make room in your heart, I’m sure you’ll find new ideas and discoveries. Don’t rush—just trust your own rhythm.

Dot, I really appreciate your sincerity. I’m often busy working in my workshop too, and sometimes I feel restless unless I keep moving. But hearing everyone’s stories has reminded me that quiet, unhurried moments are important too. Next time, I’ll try to gather my courage and sit by myself at the feather counter. I’m sure it’ll help create more room in my heart.

Thank you for the thoughtfulness, Bird. I tend to hold tension in my shoulders and often miss my opportunity to rest. But thanks to you all, I’ve remembered the value of “doing nothing” for a while. Sitting at Birdream’s feather counter without thinking about anything once in a while wouldn’t be so bad. Relying on a little quiet now and then—there’s nothing wrong with that.
