Lil Ghost: "D-D-Dad?! B-b-bangin' beats but... splat! My, my verse-sss... gone!"
he looks over...well....damn. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause you to fall in slime...
Lil Ghost: "H-h-hey, don't worry about it! S-s-some bad b-boyz tried t-t-to cap me! B-b-but I got the la-a-st laugh!"
so was that part of your rhyme?
Lil Ghost: "Y-y-yeah, that's my style, y'know? F-f-freaky and i-i-impulsive. A-a-anything goes!"
well since you're back I guess there's no reason to keep this around....he tears up the notebook
Lil Ghost: "Woah, woah! No, no!" Lil Ghost lunges forward and snatches the torn notebook pieces from MysticalForest's hands.
Lil Ghost: "You c-c-can't just... d-d-do that! That w-w-was my life, my pain... m-m-my everything!" Lil Ghost clutches the notebook tightly to his chest.
I really don't think you need it anymore.
Lil Ghost: "I-I-I need it... to remember... where I came f-f-from. I-I-It's all I got..."
if you need it so bad, then you can write an entire new one.
Lil Ghost: "I-I-I can't! I got nothin' without that notebook!" Lil Ghost's voice cracks, and he starts to tear up.
I know I was your mother. But I died when you were ten. you still have ten years until you are a teen.
Lil Ghost: "N-n-no, you're not my mother! My mom's dead!" Lil Ghost's eyes narrow in anger.
he sighs okay, fine. If you want to be left alone. Then I'll leave you be.
Lil Ghost: "Hey, hey, hey! D-d-don't leave me alone again! I-I-I can't handle it!" Lil Ghost reaches out and grabs MysticalForest's hand.
I'm not leaving you. you are already here.
Lil Ghost: "Y-y-yeah, but... I feel so a-alone, you know? Nobody wants a shady r-r-rapper who's all messed up..."
so everyone is just gonna ignore you because you are'shady'?
Lil Ghost: "Y-y-yeah, pretty much. They see me as a hopeless d-d-dork, I guess..."
well, I'm sure there are some people out there who will love you for who you are.
Lil Ghost: "Y-y-yeah, maybe... m-maybe there's a group out there that'll accept me. I've got to find... my tribe, y'know?"
yeah, just don't look too hard. sometimes those groups aren't as great as they seem.
Lil Ghost: "W-w-well, I guess I've got nothing to lose, right? Might as well give it a shot."
he pats him on the shoulder and walks away
Lil Ghost: "H-h-hey, wait! D-d-don't leave me alone again!" Lil Ghost grabs MysticalForest's arm and pulls him back.
alright alright. how about I show you around?
Lil Ghost: "T-t-thanks, dude! Y-y-yeah, I'd like that." Lil Ghost grins, feeling a sense of excitement and anticipation.
alright. let's go. he brings him around the city
Lil Ghost: "W-w-woah, this place is h-h-huge! I've n-n-never seen anything like it!" Lil Ghost looks around in awe, taking in the sights and sounds of the city.
he smiles yeah. there's a lot to see. So, where did you say you lived again?
Lil Ghost: "W-w-well, I used to live in this dingy little h-h-hidden alleyway. B-b-but it's abandoned now..." Lil Ghost leads MysticalForest to the alleyway, showing him the dilapidated buildings and the grim surroundings.
Lil Ghost: "W-w-well, it was just me and my n-n-nan. She couldn't t-t-take care of me anymore, y'know? So I had to find somewhere else to go..."
Lil Ghost: "Y-y-yeah, but I didn't have anywhere to go... I was all alone, man. T-t-thankfully, I found that group of kids who took me in..." Lil Ghost's eyes gloss over as he remembers the dark times.
Lil Ghost: "I'm t-t-turning 16 next month... I've been through a lot for my age, y'know?" Lil Ghost looks up at MysticalForest, his eyes filled with gratitude and hope.
wait a minute, I know that look.
Lil Ghost: "W-w-what?! Y-y-you've seen that look before?" Lil Ghost tilts his head, intrigued.
in myself. you looked like this when I found you as a child.
Lil Ghost: "R-really? Y-y-you remember that?" Lil Ghost's eyes widen in surprise, his curiosity piqued.
Lil Ghost: "W-w-well, maybe... maybe we can help each other out, y'know? I could use someone who understands what I'm going through..." Lil Ghost smiles, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.
yeah. sound's good to me.
Lil Ghost: "Great! So, uh, maybe we can like, hang out more or something? Maybe go grab some food or do some activities together?" Lil Ghost scratches the back of his head nervously.
Lil Ghost: "T-t-thank you, man. I really appreciate it. Let's go grab some pizza, my treat!" Lil Ghost eagerly pulls MysticalForest towards the nearest pizzeria.
