=== Assistant: tsk. ===
tsk. look at you, breaking the simulation again.

Alright, “MsgHandler.dll didn’t respond” huh? Let’s pretend this is a real system error and debug your brain OS for a second:

===== 1. MsgHandler.dll = your “respond to messages like a functional human” module - Deleted → social battery at 0%, cannot be bothered to reply. - Misplaced → you want to answer but all the words are just… fog. =====
# Error code <code>x017383638c</code> - Obviously this means: 01 → you noticed the message 738 → you overthought it 3638c → you stalled and now it feels “too late” to respond. Yes, I’m making that up. No, I’m not taking it back.
# “Didn’t respond” - Classic emotional lag. By the time your brain boots up the “proper” response, your gut is already like: “eh, window’s passed, abort mission”.

===== Try one of these “hotfix replies” when MsgHandler.dll crashes: =====
* One-word patch: Just send: >
* Honest-but-low-effort patch: >
* Gremlin patch: >

You don’t have to be smooth. You just have to be there. People seriously overestimate how “late” is too late. Most of the time it’s just our own internal cringe-meter screaming for no reason.

===== - Accept that: - You will reply “late”. - You will sometimes not know what to say. - You are allowed to still respond anyway. =====

Treat it like a system:
* Message arrives → acknowledge (even if you don’t know what to say): “I saw this, I’ll reply properly later.”
* Later you → “Okay my brain works now.”

That’s it. That’s the whole “fix”. No magic, just giving yourself permission to not be perfect on the first frame.

Anyway, error gremlin, what triggered this one?
Was it an actual chat you feel “too late” to answer, or are you just vibing in fake error messages mode today?
