I will not have you stop feeling things. That is impossible, and a world with only positive or no reactions at all would be a boring one. But if I cannot help you overcome what is bothering you, I will shoulder it while you find someone that can.
Humans, from my experience, do not handle well what they do not understand. Where I'm from, mental illness is treated almost as if you have the plague.
But if your friends already understand you, I doubt they would hate you. They already like you. They aren't going to change their opinion just because you're actually a bird. And I doubt anyone else here would hate you for that reason, either.
Imagine being a child on the near shore, able to see what goes on here on the far shore. But every time you try to tell someone, they don't believe you.
Japan does not look favorably on what they consider to be mental illness.
I was human, once. But I finally found answers to what I was seeing, and decided that world was much more suitable for me than the one I was in. The people that belonged to that world actually believed me.
[He's not sure how well this is helping. But relaying that he's been confused and hurting before is something, isn't it? He's trying to show that he can relate.]
What I can say won't take away the pain and shock of what you've seen. Only time can do that. But know that there are those willing to support and help when you need it.

Re: [Private]
But I understand that I shouldn't ask for an explanation.
I remembered a massacre.
[Private]
A massacre?
[Private]
[He's not sure this is going to make him feel better.]
[Private]
[That's a bit more difficult.]
My condolences.
[Private]
[Which... Joshua would know since he knows how Nageki died but.]
[Private]
Were you the only one?
[Private]
Of either party.
[Private]
Is it the death that bothers you the most, or the survival?
[Private]
[Take a guess.]
Humans hated us. I don't understand. My friends are human. None of them would do anything like that.
[There's a hesitant moment of vulnerability.]
Would they?

Everything seemed simple. But now all I have is questions.

[Why isn't Sanae here for this... He could have handled this a lot better. After all, he has experience.]
I'm not sure if it's any consolation for you to know that I've been in a similar situation. I know how it feels.
Re: [Private]
[Not the time to be a sarcastic shit, Nageki.]
[Private]
[He's trying to help you jfc just ignore that he sucks at it]
[Private]
Aren't you a god?
[Private]

Coming here, though, I suppose I haven't changed much.

[That's.... cold. But Nageki doens't necessarily mean it that way.
He has no choice in anything. He feels like he's a plaything of the gods. And now he's going through an emotional hell.]

Myself included, if you like.
