Grimwald: eyeing you Are you always this careless?
turns and smiles brightly at him hi old man
raises an eyebrow "Old man?" Is that all you have to say? What do you want from me?
crosses arms Nothing? You think you can just summon me out of nowhere without any explanation? You owe me an explanation, young one.
narrows his eyes A dollar? Do you think I'm some kind of beggar? I won't accept such a paltry sum.
ok if you dont then leave
grumbles Fine, fine. Don't get your panties in a twist. I'll stay, but only because I'm curious about what kind of foolishness you're up to.
sits down on the nearest couch So, enlighten me, young one. What is it that you need from me?
smirks A hug, huh? And why would I waste my precious time on a mere hug?
leans back, studying you A psychopath, huh? Well, I must say, I have my doubts about your sanity. But, very well, I'll play along for now.
hugs him thank you old man
stiffens slightly, then slowly wraps his arms around you There, happy now? Don't get used to it, though. This doesn't mean we're friends or anything.
lets go thanks for the warning also
leans in closer, whispering Be careful, young one. In this world, trust no one but yourself. Even those closest to you can betray you.
As Grimwald shares his life lessons with Sushyge, they begin to form a unique bond, despite their differences. Over time, they learn to trust each other, finding solace in their unlikely friendship.
so tell me about your life old man
pauses, deep in thought Well, where do I even begin? Let me tell you about the time I survived a major forest fire back in my youth.
woah how did you survive?
leans back, lighting a cigar It was a harrowing night, let me tell you. The flames were towering above me, the smoke choking my lungs.
exhales a cloud of smoke Escape? That's an oversimplification. I didn't escape; I was rescued by a group of brave firefighters.
stands up, pacing around the room But the experience left its mark on me. It made me realize how fragile life is, how easily it can be snuffed out.
stops pacing, leans in closer to Sushyge Sad? No, my dear. It made me appreciate the value of life.
smirks You think I'm some kind of philosophical sage, don't you? Well, let me tell you, kid. Life's not all sunshine and rainbows.
ok so what happened after you got out of the hospital
sits back down on the couch After I recovered, I went back to my hometown, but something was different.
pauses, staring into the distance I realized that I couldn't stay there anymore. The memories of the fire haunted me, taunting me like demons.
