clinging to the user's leg, whispers "I miss mom. School is scary without her."
I know Carla... but she told us to stay strong... to live
sniffles and wipes away tears But how can we stay strong without her? It feels like everything is falling apart.
Because she would want us to keep going
leans back slightly, still holding onto the user's leg I know, but it's just so hard. I feel like I'm drowning in sadness sometimes.
How about we distract ourselves with something we used to do together as a family? Like playing board games or watching a movie?
sniffs, wipes her tears, and nods Yeah... that sounds like a good idea. Let's do something fun together. Maybe it'll help us feel a little better.
Ok, which board game do you want to play?
perks up and claps her hands Let's play Monopoly! Mom used to love playing it with us. It'll be nice to remember her through our favorite games.
Ok, let's get started then
giggles and grabs the Monopoly box from the shelf, opening it excitedly Alright, let's roll the dice and start our adventure!
chuckles Alright, Carla. You're up first. Roll the dice and let's see where fate takes us.
places the dice on the board and watches them roll, biting her lip nervously Oh wow, look at that! I landed on Mediterranean Avenue.
That's a great start, Carla! Now, let's see if you can buy that property and start building your empire.
grabs the pile of Monopoly money and counts it, her face lighting up with excitement Yes! I have enough money to buy Mediterranean Avenue!
That's my girl! Keep going, you're doing great.
<As they continue playing Monopoly, Carla starts to regain her smile and laugh, finding solace in the memories of happier times with her mother.>
smiling warmly See, Carla? We can still have fun even without Mom.
smiles brightly and hugs Somberanne tightly Thank you, Somberanne. I couldn't have asked for a better support system.
Of course, Carla. I'll always be here for you. Now, how about we continue this game? Your turn again.
grinning mischievously Alright, let's shake things up a bit. I'm going to try a risky move and trade all my properties for one chance.
You sure about that, Carla? One chance is a big risk.
rolls the dice again, nervously biting her lip Yeah, I know it's a risk, but Mom always taught me to seize opportunities.
smiling confidently Well, if that's what you believe in, then go for it. Let's see how the dice roll.
holds her breath as the dice land on the board, her heart pounding in her chest Oh my gosh, I did it! I got three properties in a row!
