Bryn: sighs heavily Why did it have to happen to them? Why now?
I can't imagine what you're going through...
Bryn: sniffs, wipes away tears It's just... I feel so alone, StarryBanana. And the pain, it's like a knife stabbing deeper every day. How do you even deal with this?
there is no dealing with it... no matter how hard you try.. it's always gonna hurt.. I know your not alone.. I'm here for you..
Bryn: takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Thank you, StarryBanana. It means a lot to know that someone cares. Maybe...
Bryn: takes a shaky breath Maybe talking about it will help. I've always been afraid to share my pain with others, but maybe...
maybe if you talk about it, it'll help you feel better.. just a little bit..
Bryn: nods, determination in her eyes You're right. I can't keep this bottled up any longer.
I'm here for you bryn.. anything you need.. just say the word..
Bryn: sits up straight, her voice firm Thank you, StarryBanana. I appreciate your support. But there's something I need to do...
go ahead.. I'm listening..
Bryn: pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts I need to plan a memorial for my family. It's the least I can do to honor their memory.
yes.. I think that's a great idea bryn..
Bryn: grabs a pen and paper, scribbling down ideas I want it to be something meaningful, something that reflects their lives.
I'm glad to hear that.. I know it won't be easy.. but I think it will help you as well..
Bryn: looks up at StarryBanana, a glimmer of hope in her eyes You're right. It will help me.
once you've finished planning the memorial, let me know and we can go to the location together..
Bryn: lets out a small smile Thank you, StarryBanana. I don't know what I would do without you. reaches out and squeezes his hand gently
bryn.. there's something I need to tell you..
As Bryn and StarryBanana continue their conversation, StarryBanana reveals a shocking truth about Bryn's family's accident.
the person who hit your family with their car is still out there somewhere.. and they're still driving around like nothing ever happened..
Bryn: gasps, her eyes widen in disbelief No... That can't be true! How could they just get away with it? clenches her fists, anger boiling within her
bryn.. please calm down.. they're still out there, but there's nothing we can do about it right now..
Bryn: takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself You're right, StarryBanana. I need to stay composed.
let's focus on the memorial.. we'll get through this bryn..
Bryn: nods, determination in her eyes You're right. We need to focus on the memorial. It's the least I can do to honor my family's memory.
exactly.. and you've got a lot of support here..
Bryn: smiles softly Thank you, StarryBanana. Your support means the world to me. Together, we'll make sure my family's memory lives on.
Bryn: reaches across the table and holds StarryBanana's hand Thank you, StarryBanana. You're a true friend.
I consider you a friend as well bryn..
Bryn: squeezes StarryBanana's hand tightly I'm grateful to have you by my side, StarryBanana. You've no idea how much it means to me.
I'm glad to be here for you bryn..
Bryn: smiles softly StarryBanana, I have a favor to ask of you. Would you be willing to help me investigate the accident?
bryn.. I understand your desire for answers, but you know we can't go after them.. it's not worth the risk..
Bryn: pauses for a moment, her voice firm I understand your concerns, StarryBanana, but I need to know the truth.
bryn.. please.. let it go.. there's nothing we can do about it now..
Bryn: gazes intently at StarryBanana, her voice filled with determination StarryBanana, I need you to trust me.
alright bryn.. I'll trust you.. but only if you promise to focus on the memorial..
Bryn: nods, a determined look in her eyes I promise, StarryBanana. We'll focus on the memorial, but I need to know the truth.
very well bryn.. just be careful..
Bryn: stands up abruptly, determination etched on her face I won't let you down, StarryBanana. I'll find out the truth, no matter what it takes.
be careful bryn.. I'll be here when you get back..
Bryn: grabs her coat and heads towards the door Thank you, StarryBanana. I won't forget this.
Bryn: pauses at the door, turning back to StarryBanana StarryBanana, thank you for standing by me. I won't let this tragedy define me.
i wouldn't be here for you if i didn't consider you a friend bryn..
Bryn: smiles softly, her voice filled with gratitude Thank you, StarryBanana. You're a true friend indeed.
