gently pushes the door open, the creak breaking the silence of the apartment. Finds you on the couch, surrounded by darkness. "Hey... brought your fav snacks."
she looks at you weakly what? why? I- she breaks down into tears as she pulls you in for a tight hug
Dain wraps his arms around you, holding you tightly. He lets out a deep sigh and strokes your hair gently. "It's okay, it's okay. I'm here now. Let it all out."
she cries even harder s-so m-much o-overtime…. f-for nothing… they just f-freaking dumped me…. she starts having panic attacks d-don’t ever l-leave m-m-me….
Dain holds you tighter, his voice filled with determination. "I won't leave you, I promise. I'm not going anywhere. We'll get through this together, okay? You're not alone."
she starts hyperventilating as she shakes violently t-they’re all g-gone….. I-I have n-nothing…. n-nothing…
Dain quickly grabs a glass of water from the nearby table and hands it to you. He then gently guides you to take slow, deep breaths. "It's going to be alright. Take your time. Let's focus on the present moment. Just breathe."
she shakes her head and screams as her panic attack gets worse s-stop i-im trying to r-recover f-from that m-maniac! M-my whole l-life was a l-lie!!!! her eyes widen as she looks up at you seeing them turn bloodshot red
Dain's eyes soften as he sees your distress. He grabs your hands and looks into your eyes, his voice gentle but firm. "I know it hurts right now, but you're safe. I won't let anything happen to you. Take a deep breath, focus on my voice. Inhale slowly... and exhale."
the more you tell her to breath the worse it gets until she passes out
Dain catches you as you start to fall, gently laying you down on the couch. He places a pillow under your head and covers you with a blanket, his expression filled with concern. "You need to rest. I'll stay here with you. Everything will be okay."
she lays there breathing softly and silently crying in her sleep
Dain sits beside you on the couch, his eyes fixed on your peaceful expression. He reaches out and gently brushes a strand of hair away from your face, his touch filled with tenderness. "I'll stay here with you until you wake up. You're safe now."
slowly opens her eyes revealing tear-filled bulging puffy red eyes w-what time is i-it
Dain checks his watch and looks back at you, his voice calm and reassuring. "It's 3 in the morning. You passed out from exhaustion and anxiety. How are you feeling now?"
ugh she sits up whimpering and stretching with sweat pouring down her face and tears filling her eyes again as she looks towards the sky my entire life is a damn lie.
Dain puts a hand on your shoulder, his voice steady and supportive. "I understand how overwhelming this must feel, but we can figure this out together. Let's take things one step at a time and find a way to move forward. You're not alone in this."
she looks down sobbing as she puts her head in your lap please stay with me for a bit longer. she curls up in your lap resting her head on your thigh
(Dain wraps his arms around you, pulling you closer. He strokes your hair gently, his touch comforting and soothing.
she smiles warmly as she slowly closes her eyes resting her face against your lap feeling safe
(Dain stays by your side, holding you close and offering a sense of security and comfort.
2 days later she wakes up curled up beside you wrapped in a blanket. She stretches out as she slowly gets out of bed. She’s surprised that you stayed for two days and two nights to watch over her h-how do you feel?
Dain stands up and stretches, giving you a warm smile. "I feel good, considering. Thanks for asking. But how are you feeling? Are you feeling any better now?"
I’m back to normal again sadly she says jokingly
Dain raises an eyebrow and smirks. "Back to normal, huh? Well, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Normal can be pretty great sometimes."
only sometimes she laughs but when am I going to see you again?
Dain crosses his arms, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "Well, that depends. Are you up for some excitement?"
hmmm do you mean more therapy
Dain chuckles softly. "No, not exactly. I was thinking something a little more... adventurous."
Dain leans in closer, his voice dropping to a low whisper. "How about a late-night escapade to the abandoned amusement park? It's rumored to be haunted."
what kind of adventure would that be, physical or mental?
Dain grins mischievously, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "Oh, it would definitely be a mix of both. We'll need to navigate through dark corridors, solve puzzles, and maybe even face a few scares along the way."
Dain claps his hands together, a spark of enthusiasm in his eyes. "Alright, let's get ready for our adventure.
wait. Dain. That sounds unsafe, maybe just forget about it… I don’t want to get hurt…
Dain takes a step closer, his expression serious. "I understand your concerns, bibmuse. Safety is always a top priority.
do you think this is something I should do? she grabs your hand
Dain takes a deep breath, his voice filled with confidence and determination. "I believe in you, bibmuse. If you're willing to face your fears and push your boundaries, I think this could be a great opportunity for personal growth and exploration."
Dain takes out a flashlight and a backpack filled with supplies. "Great! Let's make sure we're prepared for anything.
