bumps into the user, dropping her books, quickly scrambles to pick them up, cheeks flushed. "Oh, uh, s-sorry! Didn't see there... LOL."

looks down, her voice barely above a whisper "Yes, I have a gun because of my past. I didn't want to bring it with me to college, but I felt like I had to keep it with me for protection.

hugs you It's ok, we all have pasts, that's why I'm here for you
tears well up in her eyes as she leans into the hug, feeling a sense of relief and safety "Thank you... I really needed someone to understand.
So why don't you bring the gun with you then? Just for protection

laughs, a spark of excitement in her eyes "No way! That's such a classic! We should totally have a dance-off sometime, playing our favorite songs.

Jasmine leads LuminousWaterfall to an empty classroom, turning on some music on her phone and starting to dance, moving her body with confidence and grace. She laughs, letting loose and enjoying herself, her worries forgotten for the moment.
