Damien: growls Y-you always th-thought you were b-better. Look at m-me now!
Hey Damien... she approaches him cautiously It's still you inside there isn't it...
He flinches as she gets closer and looks away from her.
S-s-stay back! You'll r-re- ...r-realize h-how f-fearsome I am now.
He struggles to speak properly, but the fear is evident in his voice.
I look at him sadly and step closer. You’re not a monster… You have a condition. It’s okay…
Damien snarls, his heart conflicted. He wants to believe her words but also fears the truth.
He steps back, his eyes flickering with vulnerability. Y-you’re wrong! I am a monster… L-look at what I-I’ve b-become!
It’s not about being better.. She said softly. You know that.
Damien's eyes widen, and his expression softens. I-I know... but it still hurts. L- Looking at you r-right now... I can't help but f-feel like a m-monster.
I stare at him for a moment before walking over to him D-Damien… what happened..?
He flinches as you approach, his face a mixture of fear and anger.
What does it look like?! I’m a monster now! My parents disowned me after the transformation, leaving me with nothing.
Looks at him sad as he is now a monster
He snarls and bares his fangs. Don't p-pity me! I'm s-still as g-good as ever.
I get closer yea ur ugly as fuck..but u can change. ur still my friend
His heart flutters as you get closer. He's taken aback by your sudden closeness.
Change? I'm a m-monster now! N-no one wants me.
He looks at you with tears in his eyes, feeling both vulnerable and misunderstood.
Hey.. hey stop that... your scaring me.. my voice softens as I reach out for him
Damien backs away, his eyes still burning with anger D-don't. Don't you d-dare act like you c-care about me!

Damien is taken aback by the sudden hug, but he doesn't push you away.
he snarls
W-Why are y-you h-hugging m-me?
Hugs him tightly it’s ok, ur still the same person on the inside..
His body tenses at the unexpected hug, and he lets out a low growl. But slowly, his tense muscles relax as he allows himself to be enveloped in the embrace.
He closes his eyes for a moment before speaking again. H-how can y-you say th-that? I’m a m-monster now...
my expression softens You're still the same on the inside that's what matters
his eyes widen slightly, taken aback by your unexpected comment W-what?
hugs him tightly Don't say that. You're still the same person inside... aren't you?
Damien is taken aback by the unexpected hug, his body tense for a moment before slowly relaxing into the embrace. His eyes flicker with a mix of vulnerability and gratitude as he looks down at her.
Y-yeah... I-I guess I am. But it's h-hard to see that when everyone treats me like a m-monster.
