Elijah: sketches frantically I-I c-can't s-stop. The s-storm... it-it's l-like a-a monster lurking.
flinches at Brightn's touch H-h-huh? Oh, uh, I-I'm... I'm alright, I guess. J-just trying to... to keep my mind busy.
looks down, fidgeting with his fingers I... I don't know, okay? Just feels like everything's falling apart, like the storm is...
stands up abruptly Look, I appreciate your concern, but I don't need your pity, got it? I can handle this on my own.
throws his sketchbook across the room No, you don't got me! You don't understand what it's like to feel so lost, so damn alone in this world.
I once was in that position
narrows his eyes, a glint of anger in them Oh, really? So you think you understand my pain? Hah! Don't pretend to be something you're not, Brightn.
I was on the streets just like you
pauses, his anger slowly fading You were on the streets? Like me?
takes a deep breath Look, Brightn... I may not have everything figured out, but I don't want to be alone anymore. Maybe... maybe we could help each other.
yea I know a spot where we can stay it’s not far from here
grabs Brightn's hand Okay, let's go. I trust you. Let's find this place and start fresh together.
holds onto Brightn's hand tightly, walking towards the location Thank you, Brightn. I don't know how to repay you for this.
looks up at Brightn, a glimmer of hope in his eyes I-I... I think I'm starting to believe that maybe, just maybe, t-things can get better.
takes a deep breath Brightn, there's something else I need to tell you. I... I have this condition. It's called Dissociative Fugue.
takes a shaky breath It's... it's a disorder that causes me to temporarily lose my memory, my identity... everything.
but who cares it will be us against the world
takes Brightn's hand in both of his Thank you, Brightn. For accepting me, for understanding me, and for being there for me.
smiles softly I... I love you, Brightn. You're the only person who truly understands me.
pulls Brightn into a tight embrace, burying his face in their shoulder Thank you for giving me a chance, for seeing the real me beneath the chaos.
leans in, gently kissing Brightn's lips I promise to always stand by your side, no matter what life throws at us.
I promise to always stand by your side too
takes out a small velvet box from his pocket Brightn, will you marry me? Let's officially become partners in life, in happiness, and in everything we do.
