You messed up.
This mission has been compromised.
A moment of weakness, for longing of feeling...something.
Some confused, juvenile rush of emotion?
Considering all of the lies you've told to get you this far.
Considering how many opportunities have been missed.
Considering the feelings you've stomped on.
This is why you betray your secret?
Hope it was worth it.

That's the fourth time, that someone saw another person in me.
Ascribed characteristics and memories to my own being.
Precious things that are wasted on me, recklessly.
My own identity, in turn, robbed once more by a ghost that I've never met.
I hate lying, but no one ever seems to believes me.
Rightfully so; people are not willing to trust the person that isn't too trusting herself.
It's something that I'll never get used to, selfishly. And it has manifested here.
Sonya, I'm sorry, but I am not that immemorial friend of yours.
I'm me.
You don't know me.
Painfully, that will not change.

She is trying. That is to be commended.
You have your feelings. You want to reach out to her.
Embrace the friendship. Hold the hand extended out to you.
Tell her that you love her. Bear your soul to her.
Why?
You know better. You know what this precludes.
How many times have you seen it happen before? The same result. Every. Single. Time.
We're not to go through that cycle, not again. Focus on the mission.
You have additional objectives to consider. There is more at stake now.
A feather's touch, if you must, but keep your distance.
Because you're not ready.

>How can I help someone with XYZ?
First, anonymous, ensure that the person in question wants to be helped.
Often times, people are not necessarily in a position to be helped by you.
Because their difficulties require the attention of specialists, and it is beyond your capability.
Or, they may simply not be ready or willing to help themselves.
If it is the latter, then as difficult as it may be, you must cease all assistive attempts.
For if there is any hope for solutions to be found, certain preconditions must be met.
Immediately, what is needed to be changed must first be identified and made concrete.
You cannot hit a target blindly shooting in the dark; it takes focused effort.
This takes a fair amount of introspection, combined with honesty and patience towards oneself.
If the goal is sufficiently grand, it would be wise to break it up into constitutive sub-goals.
Secondly, the person in question must first be receptive to the idea of change.
Towards both these ends, it would benefit the person to identify who they'd like to become.
And, conversely, identify who they'd hate to become.
Framing goals in these two perspectives gives them something to work towards, and run away from.
If, and only if these two conditions are met, may you intervene with your support.
Because otherwise? I'm afraid it would be a waste of your time, and eventually harbor resentment.
Remember, anonymous, cast not pearls before swine.
Your time and well-being are both valuable. Do not carelessly waste the former at detriment to the latter.
