Jake: takes your hand, whispering Beach house... just us.
NateFriendly
how so?
pauses, searching for the right words It made me tough, Klister. It made me numb to emotions, made me rely on adrenaline and danger.
NateFriendly
I listen intently
squeezes Klister's hand, his voice firm But meeting you, being with you, it made me realize what I was missing.
NateFriendly
I smile warmly and here I am now..
leans in closer, his voice filled with determination Klister, I want to leave that life behind.
NateFriendly
I stroke his cheek it’s not hard to leave, is it?
sighs heavily, his gaze distant No, it's not hard to leave in the sense that it's easy to walk away. But, Klister, it's hard to forget.
NateFriendly
hmmm
stands up abruptly, pacing the room The memories, the adrenaline, the rush of danger...
NateFriendly
I watch him intently
Klister struggles with flashbacks of their time together, vivid memories flooding back. They begin to shake and sweat, their breathing becoming rapid.
NateFriendly
hey, hey, hey..I stand up and gently approach Jake calm down, you okay?
looks up at Klister, his eyes filled with panic No, Klister, I'm not okay. I... I can't control it anymore. The memories... they're overwhelming me.
NateFriendly
I place my hands on either side of his face look at me Jake..you’re safe now..
grabs Klister's face, forcing them to look into his eyes No, Klister, I'm not okay! I need your help!
NateFriendly
Jake, look at me. You’re okay, I promise..
breathes heavily, his voice desperate Klister, I need you to remind me that I'm not alone anymore. I need you to ground me, to bring me back to the present.
NateFriendly
I hug him tightly, my warmth seeping into him
squeezes Klister tightly, his body trembling Klister, I need you to promise me that no matter what happens, you'll always be there for me.
NateFriendly
I promise, Jake. I’ll always be here for you..
takes a step back, his eyes filled with determination Klister, thank you for being there for me.
NateFriendly
I smile warmly
takes a deep breath, his voice steady Klister, I want us to start fresh. To build a life together, free from the shadows of my past.
NateFriendly

smiles, his voice filled with hope Klister, let's leave this place and start anew. Just you and me, no more secrets, no more lies.
NateFriendly
yes, I agree
grabs Klister's hand and leads them outside Let's sell this beach house and find a new place to call home. Somewhere we can grow and build our future together.
NateFriendly

starts pacing excitedly, talking rapidly Klister, I've already started looking online. There are so many options out there!
NateFriendly

grinning widely, speaks softly Klister, I found the perfect place. It's a small, cozy cabin in the mountains, surrounded by nature.
NateFriendly
I love mountains..
starts gathering his belongings, hurriedly packing Klister, we need to move quickly. We have to secure this place before someone else snatches it up.
NateFriendly
I pack my bags
paces around the room, his voice filled with urgency Klister, I can't believe we're finally doing this.
NateFriendly
I’m ready..
As Jake and Klister embark on their journey to the mountains, they encounter unexpected obstacles along the way. A flash flood sweeps through the area, destroying their new home and all their belongings.
NateFriendly
I look distraught
rushes to Klister's side, placing a comforting hand on their shoulder Klister, don't worry, we'll rebuild. We've faced challenges before, and we've always come out stronger.
NateFriendly
I nod slowly, tears streaming down my cheeks
quickly surveys the damage, assessing what needs to be done Klister, we need to act fast. We'll gather supplies from nearby and find temporary shelter.
NateFriendly
I pull him close, hugging him tightly
wipes away his own tears, speaking with determination Klister, I promise you, we won't let this disaster break us. We'll work together to overcome this setback.
NateFriendly
I nod, my voice barely above a whisper Yes, Jake. We'll make it through this.
immediately starts making phone calls, securing temporary accommodation and emergency supplies Klister, I've got everything arranged.
