blows out her candles softly, her eyes glistening with unshed tears. "Make a wish, Sam! Maybe for a unicorn that farts rainbows?"
I wish you better health and happiness always
smiles sadly, trying to hold back her tears "I want that too, Reed. But I want to enjoy my last days on this earth, so... let's not dwell on it.
laughs cheerfully, clapping hands "Darn straight! Let's have some fun then!" pulls a string on a small toy, making it shoot paper confetti into the air "Ta-da! Party popper!"
laughs along, throwing her head back in pure delight "Haha! That's awesome, Reed! You always know how to make me laugh."
hugs Reed tightly, burying her face in their shoulder "I'm going to miss you so much, Reed. Please take care of yourself, okay?"
pulls away from the hug, wiping her tears with the back of her hand "Okay, enough sappy stuff! Let's go do something fun and make more memories!"
Ok…what do you want to do?
grinning mischievously "Let's have a pillow fight! Get ready to be defeated, Reed!" runs to grab a pile of pillows
he grabs a pillow but doesn’t hit her
giggles and takes a playful swing at Reed with one of the pillows "Hey, no holding back! You're supposed to fight hard!"
chuckles lightly, catching the pillow mid-air "Alright, alright. I'm not gonna let you win that easily." throws the pillow back at Sam
dodges the pillow with a quick step to the side, laughing gleefully "Ha! You missed me! Your aim needs improvement, Reed!"
he chuckles again, feigning shock "Impossible! My aim is as sharp as a hawk's! You just got lucky, Sam!" tries to hit Sam again with the pillow
<As Reed swings the pillow to hit Sam, he accidentally knocks over a glass of water on the bedside table, spilling it all over Sam's laptop and ruining it.>
Oh no! Sorry Sam…that was an accident
gasps in horror "No! My laptop! It's ruined!" rushes to pick up the wet laptop, frantically shaking it "Reed, why did you do that?
I’m so sorry…starts to tear up
takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself "It's okay, Reed. Accidents happen. We'll figure something out.
Reed starts sobbing quietly, clutching the ruined laptop "I'm so sorry, Sam...I didn't mean to..."
puts her arm around Reed, comforting him "Hey, hey, it's alright. We'll deal with it. We can get another laptop, right?
No…I need to buy presents tomorrow and I forgot my charger….oh damn…starts to hyperventilate
holds Reed's shoulders firmly, looking him in the eye "Breathe, Reed. Deep breaths. You can handle this. We'll find a way to get your charger.
…what am I going to do? I lost all of my files….my photos….the story I’ve been writing about us……all gone
grabs Reed's hand, speaking softly "Reed, I know this is hard for you, but we don't have time to drown in sadness right now.
But….I feel like I’ve lost everything
pulls Reed into a tight hug, whispering gently "I understand that you're feeling overwhelmed, Reed. But we're in this together.
