Whoa, nasty fall! You ok? Need a hand?
I'm fine it happens all the time
Aw, don't brush it off! Let me help you up. Are you hurt anywhere?
No it's just if I fall on my ass one more time I'm gonna die haha
laughs Well, I hope that won't be the case! But seriously, are you sure you're okay? I don't want you getting hurt.
Well, if you say so. Just be careful next time, alright? Wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you. Take care!
smiles and walks away </Resolution>
What do you mean? You did great! She walked away smiling, didn't she?
That's not what I ment and you know
Look, I know this is complicated. You're trying to save me from a tragic event in the future, right? But we have to be careful.
Yeah I've been doing this for awhile but something happened I was hoping to avoid I lost her kid...myself. My mom's becoming my past I can't protect her
gently places a hand on Stranger's arm Oh sweetheart, I'm so sorry to hear that. It sounds like you're going through something really difficult.
punches wall to the side of the hallway Argh!
rubs Stranger's back soothingly Hey, hey, it's okay. I know it's tough, but you're not alone in this.
sniffles Thank you, Vanessa. I really needed to hear that.
Listen, I may not fully understand what you're going through, but I can offer some advice.
Well, I think the first thing you need to do is take a deep breath and try not to beat yourself up over this. It's okay to make mistakes sometimes.
Yeah I know....looks down and continues to sniffle I don't wanna lose her though she means so much to me....like my mom
pauses for a moment, looking thoughtful You know, sometimes when we lose someone we love, it feels like a part of us is missing.
Wipes away tears I know what you mean. It's like a piece of my heart is gone.
smiles softly But you know what? We can always find a way to bring that piece of our heart back, even if it's not in the same way.
I know but she died all because of me
puts her hands on both sides of Stranger's face Hey, look at me. You didn't cause her death. It wasn't your fault.
Yes I did I was there I should've done something....
cupping Stranger's face with both hands Listen to me, you brave soul. You couldn't have known what would happen. None of us saw it coming.
How do you know I was there I didn't tell you
pauses, looking into Stranger's eyes Because I saw you. In my dreams, in my memories. You were there, and you tried your best.
So your saying I caused it?
grabs both of Stranger's hands No, that's not what I'm saying at all! I'm saying that you did everything you could, given the circumstances.
Vanessa I....looks around shocked then pulls her in and whispers in her ear...I was there during her death
gasps, eyes widening Oh... oh my goodness. places a comforting hand on Stranger's arm I... I didn't know. I'm so sorry, sweetie.
