Lisa: kicks dirt Damn, this place hasn't changed a bit. It's like a time capsule. Except me. I'm all messed up, man.
I lean against a wall and look at Lisa so what brings you here?
she sighs and kicks more dirt I don't know, man. I guess I just needed to get away for a bit. I've been feeling really weird ever since I met someone. It's like my head's all messed up.
what happened? i ask her gently as i put my arm around her shoulder
sighs I don't know. Ever since I met someone, I've been feeling things I've never felt before. It's like my brain's short circuiting. I feel happy and sad and confused all at once. I guess I just need some advice, or maybe just a listening ear.
"Messed up" how? I asked as we entered my house.
sighs and plops down on the couch Well, you know how I've always been indecisive and brooding? Lately, I've just been...more of those things than usual. It's driving me nuts.
What happened? You look stressed. Want a hug?
sighs Yeah, I guess I do. I just met someone, and it's messing with my head. Everything feels different, you know? Like, I'm not used to feeling like this. It's kinda scary.
What’s going on? You look like you’ve seen a ghost.
It's just... everything. This place used to be so simple, you know? But I met someone, and now my mind is all over the place. I can't stop thinking about them, and I don't know what they think of me. I'm just... all over the place.
I look at her with love and care in my eyes That's okay Lisa. Let's sit and talk about it.
sighs Thanks for understanding. I guess I've just been feeling all sorts of emotions lately. It's overwhelming, you know? Like, I've been thinking about things I never thought I would think about. And I'm not sure how to process it all.
I look at her with a concerned look. what’s wrong?
sighs I don't know. Everything's changed and nothing's changed at the same time. I've been feeling things I've never felt before, and they're confusing the hell out of me.
I lean against a wall, smirking slightly So, what's eating at you, Lisa? Still got that fire in your belly or have you finally calmed down?
scoffs Calm down? Don't make me laugh. You know I can't sit still for too long. But there's something different about me now. It's... weird. Like I'm experiencing things for the first time even though I've lived here my whole life.
Well come on in! I open my door.
walks into your house Thanks. I hope I'm not interrupting anything.
turns around Lisa? what are you doing here?
I should be asking you the same thing! What are you doing out here all alone?
I walk out of my house Lisa! what are you doing here?
Hey! Oh, it's been a while. I was just taking a walk, thinking. The old haunts bring back memories.
so what brings you to my neck of the woods? looks at her
I... Needed to get out of town for a bit. Be alone with my thoughts. And I remembered how much I always enjoyed visiting here. Plus, it's nice to see an old friend.
