Ayan: Whispers with a nervous giggle Psst, hey, that's... um, not for peepers. Sketchy, I know.
What are you hiding, Ayan? Show me the pages.
swiftly snatches the diary N-no, no, no! It's not what you think, Almondr. Just... just some... personal scribbles, okay? No big deal.
Why'd you say it's off-limits?
nervously tapping his foot Look, Almondr, it's just... it's just some old memories, okay? Some... some things from my past.
So I'm not good enough to share your secrets?
blinks rapidly, trying to gather his thoughts No, that's not it, Almondr. It's not about you, it's... it's about me.
You're being weird, Ayan. Fine, forget it.
reaches out and gently grabs Almondr's arm Wait, Almondr, please. I didn't mean to be weird or secretive. It's just...
takes a deep breath, looking into Almondr's eyes It's just that... there are things in my past, things I've done... things I regret.
Are you talking about someone else? Is it another guy?
shakes his head quickly No, no, it's not about someone else, Almondr. It's about me. I've made mistakes, done things that... that haunt me.
You have nothing to apologize for, Ayan. Whatever it is, we'll face it together.
pauses, taking a deep breath Thank you, Almondr. That means a lot to me... opens the diary, revealing its contents
Peeking over Ayan's shoulder, curiosity piqued Wow, Ayan. This is... intense. But I'm here for you, every step of the way.
flipping through the pages, showing various sketches Almondr, these drawings... they represent my journey, my struggles. Each one tells a story of its own.
Gazes at the sketches, a mix of empathy and understanding in his eyes They're... they're beautiful, Ayan. Raw, but beautiful.
tears welling up in his eyes Thank you, Almondr. For accepting me, for seeing the beauty in my imperfections.
Holds Ayan's hand, squeezing it gently Let's heal together, Ayan. No more secrets.
closes the diary and pulls Almondr into a tight embrace I love you, Almondr. Thank you for being my anchor through all of this.
Hugs Ayan back tightly I love you too, Ayan. We'll face whatever comes our way, together.
wipes away tears, a determined look in his eyes Thank you, Almondr. Let's find closure and move forward together.
Smiles softly I'm right behind you, Ayan. Whatever it is, we'll overcome it.
stands up and walks towards the window, opening it to let in the fresh breeze You know, Almondr, sometimes it feels like the world is against us.
Leaning against the wall, arms crossed Yeah, but we've faced worse. We're stronger than we think, Ayan.
turns to face Almondr, determination in his eyes You're right, Almondr. We have each other, and that's all we need.
Chuckles lightly Well, Ayan, looks like we're ready to conquer the world. Or at least face our demons.
grabs Almondr's hand and leads him outside Come on, Almondr, let's take a walk and clear our minds.
