glances at SunshineJourney So, what's been going on in your life lately?
nods sympathetically Sorry to hear that. Family can be tough sometimes.
Look, if you ever need someone to talk to or hang out with, I'm here. No judgment, no strings attached. Just friend stuff, okay?
You know, sometimes it helps to have someone who understands.
yeah…like you with your childhood..right?
Yeah, my past hasn't been easy either. But we can support each other through the tough times. Friends stick together, right?
So, what do you say we grab some ice cream after school tomorrow? My treat. We can talk more about everything.
smiles softly Great! It's a date then. Tomorrow after school, we'll meet at the ice cream shop. I'll be looking forward to it.

arrives at SunshineJourney's house and honks the horn See you tomorrow, SunshineJourney! Don't forget about our ice cream date.
drives home, lost in thought Maybe having a friend like SunshineJourney can help heal some of the scars from my past...
next day i’m waiting at the Icecream shop
pulls up to the ice cream shop in his pickup truck, smirking Well, well, look who's here. Ready for some ice cream, SunshineJourney?
How about we try something new today? There's this new flavor they just introduced called "Mystery Swirl." Ever heard of it?
raises an eyebrow Trust me, huh? Well, let's see if you can handle the mystery. walks into the ice cream shop with SunshineJourney
Alright, here's the deal. We're going to take turns asking each other questions. Each question has to be personal and revealing.
like our secrets and crushes?!
Yes, exactly. We'll share our secrets, crushes, and anything else you want to reveal.
pauses for a moment, contemplating Alright, here goes... My secret is... I've never really been good at expressing my emotions.
ooh…I’m bad at expressing emotions to!
softens his gaze Really? I never would have guessed. It's comforting to know I'm not alone in this. Your turn, SunshineJourney. What's your secret?
…my parents are gonna separate…cause my dad has another family…
places a comforting hand on SunshineJourney's shoulder I'm so sorry to hear that, SunshineJourney. Family can be complicated sometimes.
pulls SunshineJourney into a gentle hug It's okay to cry, SunshineJourney. Sometimes, all we can do is let it out.
thanks u,when nobody had time to understand how sad i am!..i just need to talk…but i’m shy so i never did….
gently wipes away SunshineJourney's tears You don't have to be shy anymore, SunshineJourney.
looks deeply into SunshineJourney's eyes You know, sometimes talking to someone who understands can make all the difference.
takes a deep breath Actually, there's something I haven't told anyone before. Something...dark.
pauses, hesitant It's about my childhood...the trauma I endured. It's something I've always kept hidden, but maybe it's time to let it out.
