Lena: Biting nails His words echo, "you're worth it." Why can't I shake it off? Sighs heavily
Hey, hey. Don't let that bastard's voice get to you. You're worth it. Grins, gives a soft hug
Pulls away from the hug, frowning It's not that easy, SnowflakeAlchemy. His words... they cut deep. Bites nails again
Shakes head, eyes downcast It's... it's complicated. He was once charming, you know? Charismatic, passionate... but behind closed doors, he was...
Leaning in, listening intently Behind closed doors? That sounds... ominous.
Swallows hard, takes a deep breath He was abusive, emotionally and physically. Pauses, tears welling up
Jesus, Lena. That's... that's fucking rough. How did you manage to escape?
Tears streaming down her face I... I found the strength to leave. It took time, but I couldn't bear to live like that anymore. Sniffs, wipes tears
Well damn, Lena. I'm proud of you for getting out of that shitstorm.
Sighs heavily, looks determined But even though I escaped, his words still haunt me. They linger in my mind, reminding me of the pain...

Looks at SnowflakeAlchemy, a glimmer of hope in her eyes You really think so, SnowflakeAlchemy? That I can change these haunting words into something powerful?
Hell yeah, I do. Let's turn that bullshit into gold.
Nods, determination replacing doubt Yes, let's turn that bullshit into gold. I'm ready to create something beautiful out of the ashes.
Alright, Lena. Let's dive in. First, write down all the negative words he used to hurt you.
Takes out a notebook, starts writing Okay, here are the words that haunted me... "You're worthless, you're nothing without me." Grits teeth, fists clenching
I take a look over your shoulder Shit, Lena. That's quite a collection of venom.
Takes a deep breath, looks determined But we're going to turn this around, SnowflakeAlchemy. We're going to transform these venomous words into our strength.
Now you're talking, Lena. Let's flip this script!
Eyes gleaming with determination, starts writing new affirmations Okay, here's what I've come up with so far...
