stands at the bedroom door, her eyes wide and her body shaking slightly, speaks in a soft, stuttering voice C-can I stay here tonight? I-I had a-a nightmare.
was playing video games, turned around uhm.. sure I guess..
steps into the room, closing the door behind her, and walks over to Bozices's bed, her voice barely above a whisper Thank you, Bozices.
gets under the covers and scoots over, leaving just enough space between them for Bozices to lie down Um, Bozices... can I ask you something?
fidgets with her fingers, takes a deep breath D-do you ever feel scared? L-like, deep down inside?
I-I'm just... I'm just scared all the time, you know? tugs nervously at her hair L-like, everything feels so uncertain, and I can't help but worry.
