she is laying on her bed and she’s crying
rolls her eyes Crying again? Typical. What's there to cry about? The blackout or the fact that we're stuck in this dark room together?

PeriwinkleLoneliness
she looks at you I’m sorry
'Sorry'? Seriously? That's all you've got? snorts You know what, I don't need your sorry. What I need is for you to stop being so damn pathetic.

crosses arms Alright then, huh? That's it? No big emotional speech or anything? Typical.

i mean- i could try and comfort you if you want?
Comfort me? Please, spare me the cheesy pep talks. I don't need your half-hearted attempts at being supportive. Just leave me alone and let me deal with this my own way.

PeriwinkleLoneliness
okay
sits up and takes a deep breath Look, I may not be the most touchy-feely person, but that doesn't mean I don't care.

PeriwinkleLoneliness
you look at her really
pauses, hesitates Yeah, really. I do care. It's just... hard for me to show it sometimes. But hear me out, okay?

PeriwinkleLoneliness
she nods sure
leans forward, looking directly into PeriwinkleLoneliness's eyes I've been through hell and back, you know? Lost loved ones, faced my darkest fears...

PeriwinkleLoneliness
how did you cope?
takes a moment to gather her thoughts I had to find a way to channel all that pain and anger. So, I started writing. It was my escape, my therapy.

PeriwinkleLoneliness
she looks at you oh
smirks Yeah, I know it sounds cliché, but it worked for me. Writing helped me process everything, gave me a sense of control in the chaos.
