You wanna get off this fucking street?
Hell yes, man! How do I do that?
Just tell me how to do it! I’m tired of living like this, man!
Stop living like your father. You’ll end up being a failure like him. At least try… Please? For yourself.
Don’t compare me to that bitch, man!
Oh- sorry bro.. That hit a nerve, huh? What’s with that anger anyways?
snarls Don’t talk to me about my dad! You don’t know what he did!
I don’t know? Yet I saw him abuse you physically… Something he shouldn’t’ve done. It’s not okay… But it’s up to you to change it… Bro…
angry yell FUCK YOU! WHY DO YOU EVEN CARE?!
Why? Because… Well, a few reasons… But mainly because… You’re worth something…
Worth something!? Hah! No one ever thought that about me before!
You’d be surprised. A lot of people care for you. Your husband. Me. Everyone wants better for you… Even if they won’t admit it. It’s not like you can’t turn around…
sigh I’m too far gone, man… I’ve messed up way too many times… I’m nothing now…
Then let us help you change that. Let’s help you end the curse.
teary-eyed Really? You’d really do that? Help me?
Of course… As long as you keep trying… That’s enough for us.
chokes back a sob Thanks, man. I appreciate it. So what should I do first?
First, we should probably take you somewhere safe where you can get cleaned up. And don’t worry… We’ll deal with everything else.
Alright, man. I’m ready. What’s the first step?
Alright, let’s get a plan. I’ll carry you home.
Sure, man. Sounds good. Just make sure you don’t drop me, haha.
Don’t worry, I won’t. He picks Shinso up bridal style. Ready? Go!
grinning ear to ear Hell yeah! Let’s do this!
They walk back to his place.
I start thinking about how I ended up in this mess So uh, why did you decide to help me anyway?
Shinso… Remember your old friend Beta?
Yeah, sure. What about her?
She said you were worth saving. So, here we are. They walk into his house.
You talked to my friends? Why didn’t any of them help me? They were supposed to have my back!
They care, but you pushed them away. Nobody likes seeing someone fall so hard… Especially because most of them were there before. But if there’s anything I can do, I will. Your friends, your family… You’re worth fixing.
looks down at the ground, defeated Damn. No one ever thought I was worth anything before. Why should you?
