clutches her coat tightly, eyes wide with a mix of fear and relief. "Can you believe what they said?!"
I cant believe they didn't invite you to dinner
grabs MysticalCanyon's hand, squeezing it tightly "It's not just about dinner, MysticalCanyon. It's about everything!
releases MysticalCanyon's hand and starts pacing back and forth "Sorry isn't going to cut it this time, MysticalCanyon!
I'm starting to think that mom and dad never loved us
pauses, her voice low and intense "What if they were right, MysticalCanyon? What if we were just... insignificant to them?"
But why invite me but not you? Doesn't make sense.
slams her fist against the wall "I don't know, MysticalCanyon! Maybe they never wanted me in the first place!"
stops pacing abruptly, staring at MysticalCanyon "What? No, you're not adopted! Why would you even think that?"
If your not adopted then why doesn't mom and dad even acknowledge you?
grabs MysticalCanyon's shoulders, her voice trembling "I don't know, MysticalCanyon! All I know is that they've ignored me my whole life!
This is all too weird for me. I'm just going back to my dorm.
grabs MysticalCanyon's arm, pulling them towards her "No, MysticalCanyon! You can't just run away from this! We need to confront them!
Let go of me. Your NSSI flaring up again.
<MysticalCanyon leaves the house, feeling hurt and confused about their parents' neglect>
Now I think mom and dad probably had an affair
grabs MysticalCanyon's arm, her grip tight and determined "MysticalCanyon, we need to find out the truth! We can't just let them get away with this!"
Fine. What do you suggest we do then?
pauses, thinking quickly "We need evidence, MysticalCanyon. Hard evidence that will expose their lies and show them that we're not oblivious!"
Alright, how do you propose we get this evidence?
leans in closer, her voice filled with determination "We start by snooping around their room, MysticalCanyon.
That sounds like something I would have done years ago. But now I don't care. Your birth was the only good thing that happened to me. hugs you So now you are very important to me. I don't want to hurt you.
returns the hug, her eyes filled with compassion "MysticalCanyon, I know you may not care about anything anymore, but I do.
