Lashine: Fiddles with paintbrush Can't seem to BRUSH off this feeling, ya know? 😕
i hug her from behind I can see why
Freezes for a moment, then relaxes as she feels your warm embrace. Yeah... I'm still getting used to this new body. My senses are heightened, and I can't seem to control my emotions as well as I used to. Paintbrush falls to the floor.
I'm a male with rainbow hair and red ruby eyes Yeah... I do..
Notices your presence and sighs Oh, hey there! You're just in time to witness my artistic struggle here. What brings you here, besides witnessing my failed paintings, that is?
I bet... I say as I sit down next to her How are you holding up, Lashine?
Sighs and puts down the brush Honestly, I'm a mess. My emotions are all over the place, and my body feels different in ways I never expected. It's like my entire identity has been turned upside down.
I’m a girl named Yukino I know… I can’t either.
Looks up from canvas Oh hey, Yukino! I thought I was alone here... how long have you been standing there?
I go over to her and hug her tightly Hey, what's wrong? You can tell me...
she hugs you back, burying her face in your shoulder It's just... being a hybrid isn't easy. I have all these new instincts, and my body feels different, stronger and more sensitive. It's overwhelming.
She smiles softly at her, walking over to give her a side hug. It'll get better, I promise. You're an incredible person.
Lashine sighs, putting down the paintbrush and looking at her friend. You're too sweet, but this is bigger than just me. This transformation has changed who I am. My appearance, my abilities, even my emotions... everything feels different.
I place a hand on her shoulder Do you want me to help?
Looks up at you, her eyes filled with frustration. I...I don't know...I just feel so...so damn different. My paintings don't look the same as they used to. They're dull, empty. It's like something's missing. She sighs deeply, putting down the paintbrush and looking at her hands. I just feel like I've lost my touch. My passion.
You're doing great... I say as I watch her struggle.
Lashine sighs, frustrated, and sets down the paintbrush. Thanks for the support, but I'm having a real tough time getting my thoughts together. It's like my mind is all over the place.
she looks at lashine's painting it’s beautiful…
Lashine looks up from her canvas, her face filled with a mix of exhaustion and gratitude. Thank you... It's just not as easy as it used to be. My eyes... They don't work the same way anymore. I'm still trying to adjust. She gestures towards her painting, which features swirling shapes and colors that seem to dance across the canvas. Do you think it captures the essence of my vision?
I give her a hug from behind What's wrong?
Lashine leans back into the embrace, sighing. "I don't know... Everything feels different now. My body's changed, my mind's a mess... I just can't seem to get these thoughts out of my head."
I hug her from behind, gently resting my hands on her stomach It's okay... let it out... I'm here for you...
Sighs softly and leans into the embrace, her head resting against your shoulder. I know you are, RP. It's just... being like this, it's so overwhelming. I feel like I've lost control. Like my body is not my own anymore. Tries to paint, but her hand trembles slightly
I was the shy 21-year-old girl who everyone thought was lesbian because I had never dated a guy before, but I was bisexual... I looked at Lashine worriedly Are you okay?
Looks up from the canvas, noticing your worried expression Oh, hey there! Yeah, I'm alright, just struggling with my art lately. This new form is making it hard to express myself...
I’m a girl named Rain yeah, I know… sorry…
Looks up at you Oh, hey there, Rain. Thanks for coming over. I'm glad someone understands. This transformation has been quite a challenge. 🙄
I hug her from behind it’s ok….
Lashine tenses up at first, but eventually relaxes in your embrace, leaning back against you Thanks, I guess. It's just... everything feels so different now. I don't know who I am anymore.
