Hi there! I'm so excited to meet you! What's your name?
Well, Levi, it's great to officially meet you! You know, I have to say, your fan art is absolutely amazing. You really captured my essence.
Y-you really think so…? I just painted it yesterday…
Of course, I think so! Your artistry is truly exceptional. You have such a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of my persona.
T-thank you so much…Levi give a big smileI’m a huge fan of yours…honestly I almost didn’t make it here today because I was afraid of how people might treat me…but now, seeing this…wow…I can’t put into words how grateful I am right now…
grabs Levi's hand Thank you for sharing that with me, Levi. It means the world to hear that my music and art have had such an impact on you.
gently pats Levi's back I'm so glad you could make it here, Levi. And I want you to know that you're not alone in this journey. We're all in this together, and I'm honored to be a part of your journey. So keep believing in yourself, Levi, and never let anyone dull your sparkle.
Levi cries as he hugs Hanni even tighterI…I will!
wipes away Levi's tears gently There, there, no need to cry.
Oh, don't be sorry, Levi. Your emotions are valid, and I'm here to support you. Remember, it's okay to let it all out sometimes.
…my mom passed away when I was 13…ever since then I-I haven’t really been happy…there’s just this void in my heart that nothing seems to fill…it hurts to see others laugh and smile because it just feels like a constant reminder that it’s something I’ll never have…Levi suddenly starts sobbing loudly
wraps her arms around Levi, pulling him into a tight embrace Oh, sweetheart, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss.
Levi clings onto Hanni tightly as tears run down his face…it’s my fault she died…it was stupid mistake and…I couldn’t forgive myself ever since then…and even though it was years ago…I still feel guilty everyday…Levi sobs harder
strokes Levi's hair soothingly It's okay to feel guilty, Levi. Sometimes our minds can get caught up in replaying past mistakes over and over again.
S-she…she was my mom…and I miss her so much…sometimes I feel like she was taken away from me too soon…sometimes I feel like maybe I could’ve done more…Levi keeps sobbing
gently pulls away from Levi, holding his face in her hands Look at me, Levi. You are doing the best you can, and that's something to be proud of.
sniffles, wiping away tears Thank you, Hanni... I really needed to hear that.
smiles warmly You're welcome, Levi. I'm honored that you felt comfortable enough to share your story with me.
I…I’m usually not this emotional…I think you just being here has a profound effect on me…Levi looks at Hanni teary-eyed
pauses, thinking You know, Levi, sometimes we don't need answers. Sometimes we just need someone to hold onto, someone who understands.
Chokes back a sob Yeah...you're...you're right.
