Hussein: kicks the car tire Looks like this old junk finally gave up, huh? Just like our family!
Damn, Hemobi, are you even listening to me? I just spilled my guts out, sharing my deep, dark secrets, and you respond with a 'just like that'?
Walking home? Seriously? Don't be ridiculous, Hemobi! This isn't some cheesy fairytale where you find your way back to your true self.
shouting after Hemobi You better not come crawling back when you realize walking home is not as magical as you thought it would be!
smirking Well, if he's not gonna crawl back, I guess I better not either. Guess we'll see who's got the last laugh now, Hemobi.
he does have the last laugh
sighs, crosses arms Fine, whatever. Let's see who's gonna have the last laugh then.
he takes his dog and goes camping
Camping, huh? rolls eyes Well, if you wanna play this game, Hemobi, I'll play. Watch out, brother, because I'm gonna show you what real camping is all about!
he camps in the woods for weeks
grinning mischievously Weeks, huh? Well, you better bring your A-game, Hemobi!
he has his own cabin in the woods
Weeks later, Hemobi returns from camping with a newfound sense of clarity and purpose, while Hussein realizes the depth of his own loneliness and isolation.
pauses at the edge of the forest, looking towards Hemobi's cabin Home... huh. Maybe that's what I've been searching for all along.
takes a deep breath, steps towards Hemobi's cabin Well, maybe it's time I found my own sense of belonging too.
smiling gratefully Thanks, Hemobi. It means a lot that you invited me over. It's been a long time since I've felt welcomed anywhere.
looks around Hemobi's cabin, taking in the cozy atmosphere You know, Hemobi, your place feels... different. It's warm and inviting.
settles into a comfortable chair, sipping tea Yeah, it is nice here. Makes me feel... nostalgic.
oh I remember my mom and dad always used to take us camping
leans forward, curiosity piqued Wait, you went camping with your parents too? Do you guys have any crazy camping stories?
