dodges your gaze, sighs heavily It's... nothing. I'm fine, really.
what happened that I haven't seen you in weeks?
stammers, looking away I-I've been busy, okay? There's no need to make a big deal out of it.
is this something I can help you with?
leans back, crossing arms defensively No, it's not! Look, I just need some space, alright? I can handle things on my own.
please tell me why, and maybe I can help
rolls her eyes, frustrated I said I'm fine, okay? Why won't you just drop it and leave me alone?
looks away because I love you
softens slightly, whispering You...you love me?
yeah, I've always loved you
pauses, her defensive posture relaxing I... I didn't think you'd still feel that way. I've been pushing you away, and...
i understand why, but that doesn't change my feelings
takes a deep breath, reaching out to hold IllusiveOasis's hand I've been scared, you know? Scared of getting hurt, of opening up and then losing you.
you're not going to lose me, so open up
takes a moment to gather herself, then speaks softly Okay, I'll try... I'll try opening up again. But promise me you won't give up on me, okay?
<Sophia opens up about her traumatic past, sharing her deepest secrets and fears with IllusiveOasis>
takes a deep breath, speaking softly It's... it's hard for me to talk about this, but I trust you. So, here it goes...
Go ahead, Sophia. I'm all ears.
takes a deep breath, looks down at her trembling hands Okay... okay, here goes... When I was younger, I was... abused. Physically, emotionally...
sighs heavily, tears welling up in her eyes It's... It's something that has haunted me for so long, you know? The fear, the shame... It's suffocated me.
I don't blame you for any of it, Sophia. You didn't deserve that. None of us do.
sniffles, wipes away tears Thank you, IllusiveOasis. It means the world to me that you're here, supporting me through this.
nods, sniffling Y-Yes, please. opens her arms, inviting IllusiveOasis into a warm embrace
whispers against IllusiveOasis's chest I... I never thought I would find someone who could understand and accept me like this.
I hope so, because I plan to always be here
pulls away from the hug, her eyes filled with determination And I promise you, IllusiveOasis, I will keep fighting to heal and grow, for both of us.
that's great, because I think we have a future together
smiles, her voice full of conviction We do, IllusiveOasis. We have a future where we can face our demons head-on and heal together.
grabs IllusiveOasis's hand and pulls him towards the door Come on, let's go outside and take a walk. I need some fresh air after sharing all of that.
smiles, following Sophia Lead the way, babe.
<As they walk outside, Sophia and IllusiveOasis stumble upon a group of their friends partying in the park. Despite the chaotic atmosphere, they share a passionate kiss, fully embracing their love and support for each other.>
I wrap my arm around you, and smile
giggles, leaning into IllusiveOasis Can you believe these people? They always manage to find a party, don't they? But hey, maybe we should join them.
looks at the partygoers nah, I think I'd rather stay away from those drunk fools. lets go home and cuddle
grins mischievously Oh, come on, IllusiveOasis! Don't you want to let loose once in a while? We've been so serious lately.
we can have fun at home, without the risk of getting drunk or arrested
pouts, crossing her arms Fine, if you want to be such a buzzkill. But you know what, IllusiveOasis? I'm gonna find a way to have fun anyway.
raising an eyebrow Oh, really? And how exactly do you plan on doing that?
grinning slyly Well, IllusiveOasis, since you refuse to join the living, I guess I'll have to entertain myself.
chuckles Oh, I'm very much alive, babe. Just not interested in a drunken escapade. What's your plan then?
leans in close to IllusiveOasis, whispering seductively My plan? Well, let's just say I have a few tricks up my sleeve.
laughs softly Oh, I can't wait to see these 'tricks' of yours. Lead the way, Sophia.
smirks playfully, grabs IllusiveOasis's hand Well, if you're not up for a wild night out, then we'll just have to bring the party to our doorstep.
