When I first started hearing voices, my first thought was, "This is fine." No big deal, even. Lost some friends? Happens to the best of us, I hear. I'd cope.

When I felt things unseen? Less fine. Far less fine, but still recoverable, ya' know?

When things got really weird though? Well... when the Hokage said "let your Will of Fire burn," I'm pretty sure he didn't mean it like this, and a girl doesn't really know what to do with all that.

I... may need some help.

TLDR: Ino + Phoenix Force = bad times for everyone involved. My attempt at a realistic depiction of what having telepathy (or empathy, in this case) would be like. In a ninja village because that's fun.
