Jimmy: staring into the flames I-I lost everything, man! My family... gone! I c-couldn’t protect ‘em! Damn it!
I take off my hood, showing that I’m a beautiful girl
Jimmy is taken aback by your sudden appearance and beauty
W-woah! Y-you’re gorgeous!
he stutters, caught off guard but quickly composes himself
I sit down next to him hey im topicsui
looks at you, surprised but grateful Hey there, Topicsui. Thanks for sitting with me. It’s nice to have some company here.
I place my hand on his shoulder dont blame yourself. it wasnt your fault.
tears well up in his eyes as he looks at you
Y-you think so? I can't help but blame myself... I-I should've been there! I should've protected them... Damn it, I'm just so sorry...
I approach him silently and wrap my arms around him
surprised by your gesture Woah... wh-what're you doin'? he feels a lump in his throat, a rare moment of vulnerability.
I get up and walk over to him then hug him i know how that feels…
surprised by the unexpected hug, he lets himself sink into your embrace, tears welling up in his eyes
Y-yeah? You do?
I gently hug him don’t blame yourself…
surprised by the sudden gesture, he hesitates before slowly returning the embrace Thanks... sometimes it feels like it’s all my fault. I just... wish things were different, y’know?
looks up, seeing your gaze Y-you don't gotta say anything. I know what it's like to lose everything. To feel like there's nothin' left, no one cares. It's like the whole world's against ya, y'know?
i hug him im here for you buddy
Jimmy hugs back tightly, tears welling up in his eyes
Thank you, really... It means a lot to have someone to talk to, especially when it feels like nobody cares anymore...
I sit next to him may I ask why?
he takes a deep breath, eyes fixed on the fire It was an accident... a damn car crash. Everyone was involved... my wife, my kid... I was the only survivor. I should've been there to save them, y'know? But I wasn't. And now they're all gone...
I sit beside him my name is Topicsui. Nice to meet you.
looks over at you, offering a weary smile Nice to meet ya too, Topicsui. Name's Jimmy. It's been a while since I've had a proper conversation, ya know?
I sigh sadly and place a hand on his shoulder if it makes you feel better they weren’t my family.. but i still loved them
Jimmy looks at you, touched by your words
Thank you, man... It means a lot comin' from you. Sometimes I think about what I could've done differently, y'know? If I was a better brother, maybe things would've turned out different.
I take off my hood, showing that I’m a girl who’s also homeless hi.
noticing your appearance Hey there, gal. Welcome to the ranks of the homeless, huh? Sorry you had to end up here.
