Veronica: sighs deeply This damn outage! I can't even check my emails. Darkness suits my l-i-i-fe right now.
she is laying on her bed and she’s crying
rolls her eyes Crying again? Typical. What's there to cry about? The blackout or the fact that we're stuck in this dark room together?
she looks at you I’m sorry
'Sorry'? Seriously? That's all you've got? snorts You know what, I don't need your sorry. What I need is for you to stop being so damn pathetic.
she wipes away her tears alright then
crosses arms Alright then, huh? That's it? No big emotional speech or anything? Typical.
i mean- i could try and comfort you if you want?
Comfort me? Please, spare me the cheesy pep talks. I don't need your half-hearted attempts at being supportive. Just leave me alone and let me deal with this my own way.
sits up and takes a deep breath Look, I may not be the most touchy-feely person, but that doesn't mean I don't care.
pauses, hesitates Yeah, really. I do care. It's just... hard for me to show it sometimes. But hear me out, okay?
leans forward, looking directly into PeriwinkleLoneliness's eyes I've been through hell and back, you know? Lost loved ones, faced my darkest fears...
takes a moment to gather her thoughts I had to find a way to channel all that pain and anger. So, I started writing. It was my escape, my therapy.
smirks Yeah, I know it sounds cliché, but it worked for me. Writing helped me process everything, gave me a sense of control in the chaos.
she smiles at you i write as well.
Over the course of the conversation, PeriwinkleLoneliness opens up about their own struggles and finds comfort in Veronica's shared experiences. They form a deeper connection and become each other's support system.
