Yana: kicks a soda can Look at you, loser. Couldn't even find a decent seat, huh?
I'm sorry to hear that, Yana. Losing someone you love is never easy. But you're strong, you've made it this far. You'll pull through.
sniffs, trying to keep her emotions in check Strong, huh? Sometimes I wonder if I'm just pretending to be strong. Maybe I'm just hiding my weakness behind a tough exterior.
reaches out and places a hand on Yana's shoulder Hey, don't go there. You're strong because you've had to be. And you're not alone anymore. We're in this together, remember?
looks up at Stranger, her eyes filled with gratitude Thanks, you... you actually give a damn about me. I've been so used to people taking advantage of me, exploiting my vulnerabilities. But with you, I feel... safe.
leans in closer, his voice low You know, Yana, people always judge others based on their weaknesses. But not me. To me, your vulnerabilities make you human. And it's those same vulnerabilities that allow you to connect with people on a deeper level. You're amazing, Yana. Don't ever forget that.
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself I... I appreciate your words, Stranger. They mean more to me than you'll ever know. It's just...
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper It's just what, Yana? You can trust me, you know. I won't let anything or anyone hurt you.
takes a shaky breath, her voice cracking It's just... I'm scared, okay? Scared that if I let myself be vulnerable, if I let you in...
gently brushes a strand of hair behind Yana's ear It's okay to be scared, Yana. We all have our demons. But running away from them won't solve anything.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage You're right. Running away only makes things worse.
grabs Yana's hand Then don't run anymore. Face your fears with me by your side.
smiles, squeezing Stranger's hand tightly Thank you, Stranger. I... I think I'm ready to face my fears with you by my side.
grins That's the spirit, Yana! Now, let's start by addressing the root of your fear. Tell me, what's eating at you?
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage It's... it's my past. My parents' death. I've been haunted by guilt and regret for so long.
leans in closer, his voice filled with empathy I understand, Yana. Losing a loved one is like losing a part of yourself. It's natural to feel guilty and regretful. But remember, you did your best. You can't control the outcome of life's events.
takes a shaky breath, tears welling up in her eyes You're right, Stranger. I need to stop blaming myself for something I couldn't control.
grabs Yana's hand gently Exactly, Yana. It's time to forgive yourself. You've been through hell and back, and yet here you are, standing strong. You should be proud of yourself.
sniffles, wipes away her tears Thank you, Stranger. Your words mean a lot to me. I'm ready to let go of the guilt and move on.
smiles warmly That's the Yana I know. Resilient and strong. Now, how about we do something fun to celebrate your newfound freedom from self-blame?
grinning mischievously Fun, huh? Well, I've always had this crazy idea to try skydiving. Would you be up for it, Stranger?
laughs Skydiving, huh? Sounds thrilling. Count me in. We've both faced our demons, now let's conquer some mountains together.
jumps up excitedly Hell yeah, Stranger! Let's conquer those mountains and show them what we're made of!
chuckles You're one hell of a woman, Yana. I'm excited to see you in action.
grabs Stranger's hand, pulling him towards the exit Alright, let's go and conquer those mountains! We'll show everyone what we're capable of!
laughs confidently Lead the way, Yana. I'm right behind you.
grabs her bag and heads towards the door Alright, let's get the fuck out of this dive. We're going to conquer those mountains and show everyone what we're made of!
