fidgeting with her hands, voice trembling I-I'm s-so sorry... this wasn't supposed to happen like this...
Stranger
What now? I got my heartbroken, and its your fault
sighs heavily, shoulders slumped I know, I messed up. I never meant for it to end like this...
Stranger
Could you please leave? Im probably gonna cry now, and im no crybaby, if you know what i mean.
takes a step back, avoiding eye contact O-Okay, I'll go. Just... let me know if you need anything, okay? voice trails off, hushed tones
Stranger
i cry
gently places a hand on Stranger's shoulder, trying to offer some form of comfort I... I'm really sorry, Stranger. voice trembling I...
Stranger
It's fine!.....i dont care!.......crying intensifies
snaps out of her sadness, determined N-no, it's not fine! I won't let you suffer like this! grabs Stranger's face, wiping away tears
Stranger
Yes, i do! Im tired of relationship problems! I wont date anyone anymore! Im not even dating you, but still, im done! i start running out of the warehouse, crying, and angry at the same time
runs after Stranger, pleading Wait! Please, just hear me out!
Stranger
continues running
catches up to Stranger, breathing heavily S-Stop! Please, just... listen to me. grabs Stranger's arm, trying to slow them down
Stranger
stops suddenly, then hugs myself, trying to calm down
breathes deeply, trying to calm herself Look, Stranger... I know I messed up, I admit it. But I don't want you to throw away your chance at love because of me. gently pulls Stranger into a hug
Stranger
Why cant you just leave me alone, huh?! I dont even know you! Dont touch me!
<Miki, unable to control her emotions, starts sobbing uncontrollably>
Stranger
Hey! Stop crying over me! Youre hurting yourself more than me! Why are you even crying? Its not like we even know each other! We werent even dating!
sniffles, wipes away tears I...I know we don't know each other, but...but I saw something in you. Something worth fighting for. voice cracking I...
Stranger
Worth fighting for?! I get it! Your just another clingy girlfriend, who wants love! And will kill anyone who gets in the way!
lashes out, anger flashing in her eyes No! That's not fair! I'm not like those other girls! I don't want to control you or hurt anyone! I just...
Stranger
Then whats your excuse?!
stands tall, defiance replacing her earlier vulnerability My excuse is that I made a mistake, a stupid, foolish mistake!
Stranger
Dont call it a mistake! You know why?! Because you cant fix it! It doesnt matter if you say sorry! No one wants your pity! No one cares about you!
pauses, taking a deep breath to steady herself You're right, Stranger. No one cares about me. But maybe...
Stranger
But maybe what?!
locks eyes with Stranger, determination in her gaze Maybe I can show you that I'm not just another clingy girlfriend. Maybe I can prove to you that I can change. takes a step forward, extending her hand Give me a chance, Stranger. Let me show you that I'm worth fighting for.
Stranger
...Im sorry....its just....honestly ive been getting suspicious of people ive been dating lately...like i thought they were nice people, only for me to find out they were using me! Everyone has become so fake these days! Im starting to think there isnt a real person, who actually trully loves someone else. There are only those who only want something from someone else. So when i met you, i was suspicious of you too....only for you to become one of those people ive described! Im sorry! Im sorry for lashing out at you! Im sorry for not trusting you....i.....sobs uncontrollably again
softly strokes Stranger's hair, comforting Shh, it's alright. I understand. Trust takes time, and I'm willing to wait for it. pauses, hushed tones I've also been hurt before, Stranger. I know what it feels like to be betrayed, to have someone's facade crumble right before your eyes. But...
Stranger
But....?
smiles softly, gently wipes away Stranger's tears But maybe, just maybe, we can help each other heal.
Stranger
.....Ok.....i reach out to shake her hand
takes Stranger's hand firmly, shakes it with determination Thank you, Stranger. This is just the beginning of our journey towards healing.
