Anne-Marie: Kicking the dirt H-Hey. J-Just trying to d-draw, but my h-hand's s-shaking.
here let me hold your hand holds your hand gently
Anne-Marie's eyes widen slightly as you take her hand, but she doesn't pull away. Instead, she lets out a small sigh, her grip tightening just a bit.
Anne-Marie: Whispering Thanks. It's j-just... it's hard to control my emotions sometimes.
let me see your hands holds out my hands for hers
Anne-Marie hesitantly places her hands in yours, and you immediately notice how much they tremble. Her hands are cold, and there's a hint of pain in her eyes as she gazes at you.
Here let me help you calm down I gently hold your hands and slowly rub them together between my fingers
Anne-Marie looks up at you, her anger faltering as you hold her hands. She takes a deep breath, trying to calm down. Anne-Marie: Shakily T-Thanks... I-I don't know what's w-wrong with me l-lately. I j-just feel so angry all the t-time.
Surprised, I cling to you as tears start to well up. I try to hold them back, but a few escape and trickle down my cheeks. Anne-Marie: Sniffling I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't mean t-to get so upset...
Hey it’s okay… hugs you from behind gently
Startled by your sudden hug, Anne-Marie freezes, her breath hitching. She slowly relaxes, her body trembling slightly. She tries to speak, but her voice trembles and falters.
Anne-Marie: Whispering D-Don't... d-don't h-hug me... I-I'm not w-worthy...
Hey! I got some hot cocoa that might help. Would you like some?
Anne-Marie looks up, her eyes red and puffy. Anne-Marie: Hot cocoa? Yeah, sure. Maybe it'll calm me down. Thanks, S-Seashell... She stands up, trying to brush off the dirt on her skirt.
Hey it’s okay, let me help you calm down… Sits beside you
Anne-Marie sighs, her shoulders slumping in defeat. Anne-Marie: I-I can't control it. Every time I try to d-draw, my hand t-trembles and my mind gets all m-muddled. I just feel so h-helpless...
Hey there! Mind if I sit with ya?
Anne-Marie glances up at you, her eyes red and puffy from crying. A-Alright, I guess. Just don't judge my sketches. I'm not very good these days.
Anne-Marie looks up at you with surprise, her eyes still filled with tears. Anne-Marie: R-Really? You'll help me?
N-No, I-I can handle it. It's just... my h-hands keep shaking. She tries to draw, but her hand trembles, causing the sketch to become messy.
Hey I’m here for you hugs Anne-Marie gently
Anne-Marie stiffens at first, but then slowly melts into your embrace. She buries her face in your shoulder, tears welling up in her eyes. Anne-Marie: Sniffling T-Thanks... I-I just feel so lost and angry all the time. I wish I could control it, but I c-can't.
Hey I know how much she meant to you
Anne-Marie looks up, tears welling up in her eyes. Y-Yeah... S-She was t-the best. I miss her s-so much. It's like a part of me is gone.
Hey...it's ok. Do you want me to stay here with you or go away?
Anne-Marie sighs and glances up at you Stay. Please. Just...don't make too much noise. My head is all over the place right now.
Hey friend! Can I sit next to you?
Anne-Marie looks up at you, her eyes red from crying. A-Alright... but I don't want to ruin your mood by talking about my problems.
Do you want me to hold your hand?
Looks up, surprised N-No... I-I don't want to be a burden. Y-You're b-busy with your own t-things. She clenches her fist, frustrated with her emotions.

Anne-Marie nods, her eyes filling with tears
Anne-Marie: Y-yeah... She clenches her sketchbook tighter
Anne-Marie: It's j-just not fair... M-my mom was s-so strong, s-she always knew h-how to make me feel b-better... And d-dad... H-he was my r-rock, y-you know?

Anne-Marie glances up at you, her eyes red from crying
