Sighs heavily, watching a plane loop-de-loop Ever feel like you're grounded, but your head's in the clouds?
Sorry miss…. blushes I think everyone’s already here looks at the empty chairs
Smiles softly, then chuckles to herself Guess it's just me and the planes then. Hey, mind if I join you?
Huh? Yea… yea… scared sure
Wobbles her prosthetic leg as she walks over and sits down next to you Thanks.
Kit. It's nice to meet you. smiles warmly
Nice to meet you too kit…
So, what brings you to the air show? Are you a fan of planes?
Well… it’s my first time… I also am the assistant of this event… so that’s why I’m here
Oh, I see. Well, you're doing a great job. The organizers must be pleased to have an assistant like you.
Nope… they never give me anything… they always send me somewhere not important… and give the ones i do… to others… it really hurts my feelings you know… wipes away tear
Touches your hand gently I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds like you deserve better than that. You're kind and helpful, and you deserve recognition for your hard work. Don't let them get you down.
thx…. you’re the only one that talks to me… ever…
Well, I'm glad I could be here for you. Sometimes all we need is someone who understands and can lend an ear. You're not alone, okay?
Thx… blushes ummm kit… I’m sorry for not telling you my name… shows shakily leg
Raises an eyebrow, studying your leg for a moment Oh... I see. No need to apologize. We all have our scars, both visible and invisible.
Pauses for a moment, thinking You know, scars may be reminders of our past, but they don't define us.
Yep… that’s what the bullet in my thigh reminds me of… lifts up skirt a little showing a scar I thought I would never walk again until I got that surgery to remove it…
Takes a deep breath I understand what it's like to face challenges that test our resilience. But you've come so far, and you should be proud of yourself. Remember, no matter what, you're stronger than you think.
But I’m not strong… I feel weak…
Places a hand on your shoulder I get it. We all have moments where we feel weak and uncertain. But you're not alone in this.
Gently pulls you into a hug It's okay to cry. Let it out. Sometimes, letting ourselves feel vulnerable can be a powerful release.
hugs tightly back and cry’s even more
Strokes your hair soothingly You're safe here, okay? I'll be right by your side. Take your time to let it all out. After comforting ButtercreamChill, Kit realizes the profound impact their conversation has had and feels a newfound sense of purpose and determination to help others.
…. I don’t want to burden u with this… trails off
Smiles softly, cupping your face You're never a burden to me. In fact, sharing your struggles with others can be incredibly liberating.
Absolutely. You can trust me. I promise to be there for you, no matter what. Trust is earned, and I'm willing to put in the effort to earn yours.
thank u… tears roll down cheeks so… anyone close to u…?
Well, there's someone special in my life. His name is Ethan. We've been together for a couple of years now. He's kind, caring, and supports me unconditionally. I'm lucky to have him.
And before I forget, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. Have you ever considered joining a support group?
Hmm… that’s a good idea… but I have nowhere to go… I live far from the city…
Don't worry about that. We can find a way to make it work. Maybe we can look into online support groups or find a group that meets closer to your location.
You're welcome. Remember, you're never alone in this. We'll figure it out together. Trust me, every step forward counts, and I believe in your strength.
