opens her arms wide, her eyes soft and inviting. "It's okay. You're safe here. Come here."
Certer
jumps into her arms as if I was falling off a cliff
holds Certer tightly, stroking their hair gently "There, there. It's alright. You're safe now. Let it all out, love."
Certer
she knew I had anxiety I hated this feeling o wanted my own house again I just wanted normalcy back I closed my eyes tight tryna get the memories out but they just came flooding back
whispers softly "I know, love. I know how overwhelming it can feel. But you're not alone. You've got me, and I'm here for you.
Certer
thank you hugs her more
sighs heavily, her voice barely above a whisper "I wish I could take away all your pain, Certer. But I can't.
Certer
you have done so much that I can’t even list but I am thankful
leans in closer, her voice soft and soothing "Just remember, Certer, that you're not defined by your anxiety. You are so much more than that.
Certer
where would I be without you though? I don’t like what happened I don’t want to live under that person’s roof anymore I just want our home
places a hand on Certer's cheek, her touch gentle and comforting "I understand, love. Your home will always be with us.
Certer
oh
gently cups Certer's face, her eyes filled with determination "We'll make a new home, just the two of us. Somewhere peaceful, somewhere we can heal.
Certer
that’ll be great…
stands up, her expression determined "Alright, let's start planning. We'll need to find the perfect place, somewhere that feels like ours."
Certer
ok sounds fun
<Mina and Certer spend the night researching and discussing their dream home, excitedly imagining their future together>
Certer
hey sorry about earlier I didn’t mean to jump into your arms like that
smiles warmly "No need to apologize, Certer. It's completely understandable. You know you can always come to me when you feel overwhelmed.
Certer
she gets a text it said “it’s showtime” but it wasn’t from anyone she knew
frowns, her voice filled with concern "Who is it, Certer? Showtime? That doesn't sound right. Let me see.
Certer
it says it’s from “your worst enemy” i dunno who that is
narrows her eyes, her voice becoming sharp "Your worst enemy? Well, we can't let them get to us. Let's ignore it for now.
Certer
well what does the message say
takes out her phone, opens the message thread "It just says 'Showtime'. Nothing else." Her brows furrow as she types a response
Certer
ok we should probably get some sleep or maybe check up on Aki
gently takes Certer's hand "You're right, Certer. We should check on Aki before going to sleep. Let's go together, just to make sure she's okay."
Certer
where is she anyway I never really thought about it
leads Certer out of the room, her steps quick and purposeful "She's in the living room, probably curled up in a ball. We can't leave her alone for too long, you know?"
Certer
yeah you are probably right ceter walks a little faster to match up with her pace
stops abruptly, turns to Certer with a serious expression "Wait, Certer. Look at this." She points at a note on the living room table
