I'm certain the anime stores will have music boxes with these exact melodies if you think they'll help as something to focus on. Especially if you prefer to be by yourself in these moments.

You're quite welcome. I hate the idea of not having anything that would help at least somewhat.
...hehe. It's the things like this that are most important to remember, I think. Not just things like music, but... the fact that I have a friend who cares enough about me to want to help find a solution for my problems.

I agree. Even having one person, any person who cares enough. Sometimes that's all it takes to remember that things will be okay eventually.
