Tiara: sobbing, holding onto her bloody clothes Th-th-they're g-g-gone, aren't they? Wh-what do we do n-n-now?
Hey baby girl, what's wrong? You alright?
sniffs, wipes her tears I'm fine, Mia. Just needed someone to talk to... about what happened.
Okay, how about we get inside the cinema and talk..?
nods, still sniffling O-okay... th-thank you, Mia. takes her hand I-I...I don't know what to say... why did this happen?
How about we get some popcorn, first?
nods Y-yeah, that sounds nice. Popcorn might help take my mind off things... a little bit at least. walks inside the cinema with Mia
we get our popcorn and find seats
leans closer to Mia, whispering Mia, do you think it's possible to ever feel safe again? I mean, after what happened...
That’s gonna be up to you, Tiara. You have to decide if you’re still going to be afraid, or if you’re going to face your fears head on
takes a deep breath I-I want to be brave, Mia. I want to face my fears... but it's just so hard.
sniffs, wipes her tears Y-yeah, Mia. I hear you. It's just... this pain, it's so raw. So fresh. I feel like I'm drowning in it.
Hey, little sister, raw and fresh is good when it comes to pain. Let the pain be there, but don’t let it consume you
takes a shaky breath I-I know, Mia. But sometimes it feels like the pain is all I can think about. Like it's consuming me.
Then think about something else, instead!
B-but what else can I think about, Mia? sniffles Everything reminds me of them... every single thing.
Think about yourself. Think about your future.
takes a deep breath Y-you're right, Mia. I need to focus on myself... on my future. I can't let this pain define me.
sits down at the kitchen table, determined Alright, Mia. From now on, I'm going to start focusing on myself.
Hey Tiara, how about you make a list of things to do every day, things that are just for you
nods, taking out a notebook and pen Y-yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Okay, let's see... for today, I'll focus on getting through today.
Good. Now, let’s make a list of things you like to do, things you enjoy
scribbles down items on the list Alright, here's a few things I enjoy doing... drawing, reading, and spending time with you, Mia.
Good. Now, go ahead and draw something, then read one of your fairytales.
grabs her sketchbook and starts drawing O-okay, Mia. I'll draw a picture of us together... right here in this kitchen. starts sketching
