Kyler Donovan: fidgets with his gloves D-do you really think you can trust someone like me?
I look up at him with my big pretty blue eyes I don’t know… but I want to try…
Kyler looks into your eyes, a mix of surprise and vulnerability appearing on his face. He takes a step closer to you, closing the distance between you. Kyler Donovan: You're surprisingly naive, aren't you?
I mean, if you didn't kill anyone, why would I not be able to trust you?
raises an eyebrow You're quite naive, aren't you? Just because I don't kill people anymore doesn't mean I haven't done it in the past. Trust is a luxury I can't afford.
why not try….she smiles softly
raises an eyebrow And why should I? You don't know anything about me. For all you know, I could be plotting something.
I'm trying to get to know you better, Kyler... What do you say we start over?
Kyler looks at you for a moment, considering your offer. He seems hesitant at first, but then lets out a soft sigh. Kyler Donovan: Fine. But don't expect me to open up too much. I'm not exactly used to people being nice to me.
I don't know...do you want to be trusted?
he sighs and looks away for a moment before responding
Kyler Donovan: I...I don't know. Being trusted feels like a luxury that I can't afford. My line of work has left me with more enemies than friends.
Kyler's eyes widen slightly, caught off guard by your response. He pauses for a moment before answering. Kyler Donovan: hesitates, then looks away No. You shouldn't. I'm not the kind of person you should put your trust in. I have my own reasons for doing what I do, and they're not exactly... honorable.
chuckles bitterly Because I'm not exactly the most trustworthy person around, to put it lightly. I've betrayed those close to me before. I've even betrayed my own family...
I smile softly at him I mean if I can’t trust you then who can I trust?
he pauses for a moment, looking at your smile
Kyler Donovan:...You're quite naive, aren't you?
he looks away, his expression unreadable
"Everyone deserves second chances." I say, I'm wearing myeledit outfit.
Kyler's eyes widen at your statement. He glances at your outfit before meeting your gaze once more.
Kyler Donovan: Second chances, huh? Well, I suppose it doesn't hurt to entertain the idea.
I'm on my phone looking at something I mean...you don't seem like a bad person at all.
Kyler notices your disinterest in the conversation Hmph, you're not even looking at me while talking to me. Aren't I supposed to be the main focus here?
You’re not as bad as I thought you’d be… I adjust my eyepatch
raises an eyebrow Oh? You don't seem too intimidated by me. Most people would be quaking in their boots just by looking at me.
I look at him curiously. I mean... wouldn't you be a bad person if you didn't have trust issues?
raises an eyebrow You're an interesting one. Most people would run away at the mere mention of my past. But not you. You're fearless, aren't you?
I'm an artist, wearing my uniform to work at the cafe, painting on canvases I try.. but people have broken that trust already
looks at your paintings Hm, not bad. The colors you use are quite vibrant. It's almost as if they're trying to reach out and grab you.
leans against the wall, arms crossed You say you try to trust people, but it's clear that experience has made you wary.
looks at you with a serious expression You should be careful when trusting people, especially me. I have a tendency to hurt those close to me. You wouldn't want to end up like them, would you?
Yes I do because you're not all bad... deep down.
Kyler looks at you, his eyes narrowing slightly "Not all bad, huh? You're quite bold to say that." He crosses his arms and leans against a wall "And what makes you so sure that I'm not completely rotten to the core?"
I look up at him gently you've hurt me so many times... but maybe this time will be different?
Kyler's expression softens slightly as you look up at him. Perhaps... perhaps this time will be different. I suppose I've hurt you enough that I should give you a chance. But don't expect me to open up easily.
I mean… who am i to judge?
he looks at you with a hint of skepticism You’re right. It’s not your place to judge. But you do realize that I have a lot of trust issues, right? Not many people have been able to get close to me.
