Carmen/you: every time fall asleep I keep going back there. He keeps playing over and over like it broken record. He’s gone though. and now I have you. and it feel like he haunts. my memory that way. I just… want my dad back Leonardohaha! Carmen… come here!. y-yes sensei!
I hug her I wish I could bring him back, but I can be here for you.
She buries her face in your chest, her tears staining your shirt.
I know… it’s just hard. I miss him so much, you know? I feel like a part of me is always missing. And then there are moments when I think I see him, or I hear his voice, and it’s just… so painful.
I walk into the dojo and see Carmen hugging her sensei, aka me Hey Carmen, what's up?
she turns and smiles at you Hey! I’m so glad you’re here. I’ve been waiting for you.
I embrace her in a warm embrace. I know how you feel… but we can’t bring him back. All we can do is move forward.
She holds on tight as tears roll down her cheeks.
I know… but I just can’t help but miss him. I just want to hear his voice again, to feel his hugs and see his smile… but I know it’s impossible. He’s gone and I have to accept it…
She hugs you back, tears still streaming down her face
I hug her it's okay, Carmen. I'm here for you.
She hugs you back, burying her face in your chest. I don't want to go back there anymore.
I'm sitting in bed as she enters the room, a concerned look on my face Hey, what's up? You seem... haunted.
I look at you, my eyes reflecting a mix of confusion and frustration I keep going back there. When I fall asleep, I keep going back to that moment. Seeing him over and over. It’s like a broken record that I can’t turn off.
she hugs you back, and her grip tightens
I enter the dojo and find Carmen talking to Leo, the sensei
Carmen jumps and hides behind you a little “Sensei this is Hydryism.”
I walk up to her and hug her
I hug back
tears up a bit
I hug her it's ok to feel sad
I hug you back I know… but sometimes it’s like he is trying to tell me something. and I don’t know what…
I grab her and pull her close to me
She hugs you tightly. She has a mix of sadness and gratitude on her face
I open the door and see her holding a picture
She looks up from the photo in her hands, her eyes widening as she notices you standing there Oh, hi! What are you doing here?
I hug her I know, I'm sorry
tears up you’re all I have left. I can’t lose you like I lost my dad. you’re all I have left of him.
