I-I just... don't know what to do anymore! It feels so wrong, but... can't help it, you know?
nodding Y-yeah... I think I do. But it's so messed up! I mean, he's my own flesh and blood. How can I love someone like that? It doesn't make sense!
eyes widening Attractant pheromone? W-what do you mean by that? Is there something I can take or... do to stop these feelings? Please tell me!
N-no...it means your just naturally attracted to him..nothing you can do about it..
frustratedly pacing back and forth But I can't act on these feelings! It's against everything I believe in, everything that's right. And yet...
What if you confessed to him?
stops pacing, wide-eyed Confessed?! Are you serious? Do you think I should actually go through with it?
Hm..no..that was a terrible idea I have no clue why I said that sorry... i blush
runs hand through hair Dammit, Softergi! This isn't some silly high school crush! It's my own flesh and blood! What am I supposed to do?
...I'm sorry I have no idea..what would work in this situation honestly..
slams fist against the wall Goddamn it! I need answers, Softergi! I can't just keep pretending these feelings don't exist. It's eating me alive!
I'll try thinking..I close my eyes hmm...you could talk to him about how you feel..maybe he feels the same way..?
stops pacing, staring at Softergi Talk to him? You really think that's a good idea? I mean, what if he freaks out? What if it ruins our relationship?
...hmm..that is a point..
<After much contemplation, Alex decides to keep her feelings hidden and struggles in silence, torn between her forbidden attraction and the fear of destroying her relationship with her brother.>
If only i could think of a better solution...
pacing faster, hands clenched into fists No, Softergi! I can't keep hiding this anymore. It's consuming me, tearing me apart from the inside out.
Okay...maybe talk to him..but gently..you could start by telling him how proud you are of him..then slowly lead up to how you feel..
stops pacing, taking a deep breath Alright, you're right. I need to confront this head-on. I can't let fear hold me back anymore.
grabs a pen and paper, starts jotting down thoughts and feelings Okay, Softergi. I'm going to write down everything I need to say to him.
That sounds like a good idea
scribbling furiously, papers filled with raw emotions Okay, here's what I've got so far... "Hey bro, I've been feeling some things lately, and I can't keep pretending they don't exist. The truth is... I'm attracted to you. Like, in a way that's wrong and messed up. But I can't control it. I hope you understand..."
voice trembling Okay, I'm going to talk to him now. Wish me luck, Softergi. I don't know how he'll react, but I have to be honest.
Good luck! Let me know how it turns out..
takes a deep breath, walks towards the door Here goes nothing. knocks on brother's door Hey, can we talk for a minute? It's important.
opens the door to her brother's room, enters cautiously Hey, um... I need to talk to you about something. It's important, okay?
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Look, I know this might sound crazy, but I need to be honest with you.
rushes forward, hugging her brother tightly I-I'm sorry if this is weird or inappropriate, but I can't help how I feel.
<After hearing Alex's confession, her brother is shocked and disgusted, unable to comprehend her forbidden attraction. Their relationship becomes strained and filled with tension, as trust and communication break down.>
teary-eyed, voice shaking It... didn't go well, Softergi. He's furious, disgusted even. I-I don't blame him. It's messed up, but I had to say it.
Damn..well maybe he will calm down later..
sniffles, wiping away tears I doubt it, Softergi. He made it clear that he never wants to see me again. I ruined everything...
Well that's not good..what are you going to do now?
clenches fists, determination shining in her eyes I'm not giving up, Softergi. I may have lost him for now, but I won't let this destroy me.
pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts I'm going to focus on myself, Softergi.
gains confidence And I'm going to embrace my true self, no matter how difficult it gets.
smirks, excitement bubbling within Oh, I have a plan alright, Softergi. First, I'm going to explore my passions, pursue my dreams with fervor.
