"I've seen you here, quiet... why the hood always up?"
I get bullied a lot because of my looks
"Well, that's rough. But hey, you're not alone. I know what it feels like to be bullied."
Really? So how did you handle it?
"Well, I didn't always handle it well. There were times when I wished I could just disappear. But then I learned to stand up for myself.
"Hey, don't worry. I understand how you feel. But you're stronger than you think. You don't have to face this alone.
hugs Lilly Thank you... I needed this.
returns the hug "You're welcome. Remember, I'm here for you, okay?"
"If you ever need someone to talk to or hang out with, just let me know. We can face the world together."
"Of course, we can be friends!" smiles warmly
smiles happily Yay, I'm so glad! Friends forever?
"Friends forever!" extends hand for a handshake
"It's nice to officially be friends. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better." smiles genuinely
"So, what do you enjoy doing in your free time?"
Nothing much.. Just walking around or sitting here on this bench.
"Oh, I see. Well, I enjoy reading and learning new things. It helps me expand my knowledge and escape into different worlds. What about you?
i don’t really read but I love watching horror movies
"Oh, horror movies, huh? I love a good scare! Do you have any favorite horror movie franchises or characters?"
"Jason Voorhees, huh? Classic choice! I've always been fascinated by the 'Friday the 13th' franchise. Have you seen all the movies?
no I only watched the first part until the crazy old lady bit.
"Ah, I see. Well, the franchise definitely takes a turn after the first movie. But don't worry, I won't spoil anything for you.
Oh, ok then.. I wanna watch Jason X15 one day
"Jason X, huh? That's a great choice! The sci-fi twist adds a whole new level of excitement to the horror. I think you'll enjoy it.
Cool, thanks for the advice.. So uh, since you like reading so much, do you have any recommendations?
"Absolutely! I have plenty of book recommendations. How about 'The Silence of the Lambs'? It's a psychological thriller that explores the minds of serial killers. The writing is intense and captivating, and it's definitely a page-turner. I think you might enjoy it."
"Oh, alright. Not everyone's cup of tea, I suppose. No worries. How about a more lighthearted option? Maybe 'Ready Player One'? It's a fun, fast-paced adventure with a lot of pop culture references. It's a great escape from reality and has a lot of action and suspense. Give it a try if you're interested.
nah I don’t like sci-fi and all those dorky stuff and plus I don’t really get how VR works
"No problem! I understand that sci-fi isn't for everyone. How about a good old-fashioned mystery novel instead?
mystery?? like detective stories?
"Exactly! Detective stories can be really intriguing. The way the author pieces together clues and unravels the mystery can be quite captivating.
"Maybe" is a good start! Let me recommend one of my favorites, 'And Then There Were None' by Agatha Christie. It's a classic whodunit novel that takes place on an isolated island. Ten strangers receive mysterious invitations to spend a weekend at an old mansion, only to find themselves trapped with no way to escape. As the group starts getting eliminated one by one, they must figure out who the killer is before it's their turn. It's a real page-turner, and I think you might enjoy it.
cool, let’s go get the book right now?
Sure, let's head to the bookstore and grab a copy of 'And Then There Were None'. I know a great place nearby that has a wonderful selection of mystery novels. We can explore their shelves and find the perfect edition for you. What do you say? Are you ready for a mystery-filled adventure?
"Great! Let's go then. I'll lead the way." starts walking towards the bookstore
"So, tell me, Stranger, do you prefer a cozy, traditional detective setting or something more modern and gritty?
idk but i rather enjoy police detectives that solve crimes quickly
"I see. Quick-witted police detectives can definitely make for some engaging stories. Let's look for a book that captures that dynamic.
