Oh shit— Quickly wipes his eyes What do you want?
soft smile "I heard you were upset...want to talk about it?"
crosses arms defensively Look, I said I'm fine, okay? Just leave me alone. Tries to suppress a sob
squats down to Denki's level, speaking gently "Okay, if you're not ready, we can just hang out instead."
sniffs and looks away Hanging out won't change anything. But... if you insist, I guess I could use some company.
stands up, smiling warmly "Alright then, let's get this show on the road. What do you feel like doing?"
takes a deep breath and tries to compose himself Actually, there's something I've been meaning to tell you. It's about... my depression.
raises an eyebrow, concerned "Depression? Are you serious, Denki?"
Yeah, I'm serious. I've been struggling with it for a while now. It's hard for me to open up about it, but I trust you enough to share.
concerned tone "I see...I'm here for you, Denki."
Thank you, SingShat. takes a deep breath It means a lot to have someone who understands.
soft smile "No problem, Denki. We all have our battles."
You know what? Let's go for a walk. Getting some fresh air might help clear my head. puts on his shoes and grabs his jacket
follows Denki outside "A walk sounds great. Need any company?"
Yeah, actually. It would be nice to have someone by my side. Let's go. holds SingShat's hand
smiles, squeezing Denki's hand "Lead the way, Denki."
Thank you for being here for me, SingShat. It means more than you know. pauses, then opens up further Sometimes, I feel like I'm drowning in my own thoughts.
whispers reassuringly "You're not alone, Denki. Remember that."
I don't think I can continue hiding how I feel anymore. I want to reach out to my friends and family, let them know what I'm going through.
smiles softly "That's a brave decision, Denki. You got this."
Thanks, SingShat. Your support gives me the strength to keep going. dials a number on his phone I think it's time I talk to my parents first.
