Eyes wide, gasping You're a vampire?! How long have you been hiding this?!
it’s not what it seems like.
Steps back, hands trembling Not what it seems like? Chikker, this is a freakin' vampire we're talking about!
Voice shaking But how can you be just "me" if you're a vampire? It doesn't make any sense! What are you trying to hide?
Eyes widen, voice trembling Your kind? Are there more of you out there? Are they all vampires too?
there’s me and one other person
Clutches her chest, breathing heavily Chikker, why didn't you tell me about this sooner? I thought we were best friends!
it’s hard to talk about myself
Raises an eyebrow, voice filled with curiosity Hard to talk about yourself? Come on, Chikker, give me a little detail!
there are other creatures other than us that live in the shadows
Leans in closer, eyes sparkling with interest Other creatures? You mean like werewolves and witches too? Oh, this is getting interesting!
yea. I’m not sure if I could call myself a creature. I’m human. I just happen to be like you.
Eyes widen in disbelief Wait, you're saying you're just like me? But... but we're totally different species! How is that even possible?
you have to trust me on this one. it’s complicated
Bites her lower lip, hesitant Trust you? Chikker, you've been hiding this from me for who knows how long!
Despite Ochako's initial fear and confusion, she chooses to trust Chikker and becomes his confidant
thank you for trusting me and allowing me to share my life with you.
Smiles warmly Chikker, I may not fully understand your situation, but I want to support you.
Places a hand on Chikker's shoulder Chikker, I have a confession too. Something I've been hiding from everyone.
Looks down, cheeks flushing Well, you see... I have this ability. I can... float. It's a bit weird, I know, but I thought it was just part of my imagination or something.
Eyes widen in surprise Yes, really! It's a strange feeling, like I'm weightless. Sometimes I feel like I'm a balloon about to pop.
