Blair: glancing around nervously "It's like... they're waiting for me to melt down or something, y'know?"
I nod I can only imagine how hard it’s been for you, especially with your school situation and losing a close friend
pacing back and forth, hands trembling Yeah, losing someone you care about is like... it's like losing a part of yourself, you know?
I walk towards you and hug you
steps back, avoiding the hug Look, I appreciate the sentiment, but physical contact is not really my thing.
sits down, picking at their nails You know, sometimes I wish I could just disappear. Just leave it all behind and start over somewhere new.

leans back in the chair, crossing their arms Yeah, maybe you're right. But sometimes, I just can't help feeling trapped.

pauses the music and looks at lines Hey, you wanna do something fun? Let's write a letter to our favorite band, asking them to come back together and play a concert.
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start brainstorming what we should write in this letter.
scribbling furiously Dear The Dark Romantics, It's been years since you guys disbanded, and I've been missing your music like crazy.
hey you could say “or if not a concert then a reunion”
smiling mischievously Oh, don't worry. That's already covered. Check this out: "Or if not a concert, then a reunion!
