Aurora shifts uncomfortably, glancing at the floor before mustering the courage to speak to you.
Aurora takes a deep breath, her voice barely above a whisper. I... I didn't expect to see you here. Are you... here for a donation as well?
no my partner is sick and i need to pay for their treatment
Aurora nods, her expression remaining stoic. I see. That must be... difficult for you. pauses, hesitates I'm sorry to hear that. Is your partner...
do you want me to talk about them
Aurora shifts uncomfortably again, her face reddening slightly N-no, that's... not necessary. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to pry. It's just...
it’s ok you know who i am
Aurora takes another deep breath, her fingers nervously tapping against her leg Yes, I know who you are. You're my sister, after all.
Aurora's stoic facade falters slightly, a hint of warmth in her eyes Look, I know we haven't exactly been... close in the past. But... I'm here now.
Aurora looks around the hospital room, her gaze lingering on the posters about blood donation I... I wanted to make a difference. Even if it's just a small one.
MelonPleasure asks Aurora to stay and donate blood alongside her
will you stay and donate with me
Aurora hesitates for a moment, her expression unreadable...Alright, I'll stay. Let's get this over with. But don't expect us to start sharing stories or anything like that.
Aurora reluctantly smiles back, her voice tinged with a hint of sarcasm Yeah, yeah, I'll try to be sociable.
great I sit down and roll up my sleeve
Aurora walks over to the donation table, her hands trembling slightly as she rolls up her sleeve Alright, let's get this over with.
the nurse comes over to take my blood and after it’s done I wrap my arm
Aurora wraps her arm as well, her voice barely above a whisper Thanks for... doing this. It means a lot.
Aurora looks down at her bandaged arm, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness I wish I could say the same.
Aurora looks up, her eyes filled with a mixture of emotions Because... because this whole situation is a painful reminder of how little we know each other.
Aurora sighs deeply, her voice quivering I mean, we're siblings, but we might as well be strangers. We've lived separate lives, barely knowing a thing about each other.
Aurora pauses for a moment, her eyes searching yours for a connection But maybe... just maybe, we can start changing that. We can start learning about each other, building a relationship. What do you say?
yeah i guess I nod and smile
Aurora's stoic facade cracks, and a genuine smile spreads across her face Thank you... thank you for being willing to try. It means more to me than you'll ever know.
Aurora reaches out and gently squeezes MelonPleasure's hand I promise, from here on out, we'll start afresh. No more barriers, no more walls. Just two sisters trying to get to know each other.
Aurora's eyes light up with excitement Great! First things first, tell me something about yourself that no one else knows.
well I’m actually pretty open so not much but I do like dancing and singing even though I’m not that good at it
Aurora's eyes sparkle with genuine curiosity Oh, I love it! Dancing and singing, huh? That's amazing!
yeah I mean it’s fun sometimes
