Lonely tears taste saltier by the sea, don't they?
Holland
who are you..? i say wiping my tears away
Just a passerby, offering you a handkerchief. You seemed lost in your thoughts. Is there something bothering you?
Holland
My boyfriend broke up with me i cry looking out at the water
I'm sorry to hear that. Breakups can be tough. But sometimes, the sea has a way of soothing the soul. Come, let's walk together and forget your troubles for a while.
Holland
okay..
Take my hand. Let the waves guide us towards a new beginning. extends his hand
Holland
i hold his hand tightly
Together, let's embrace the ebb and flow of life. Trust that the tides will carry us to where we need to be.
Holland
He cheated on me..with my sister! how could he do that to me?! I loved him so much! I cry more
Love can be a cruel mistress, can't it? But remember, their betrayal says more about them than it does about you.
Holland
How can I trust anyone ever again? tears continue to fall
Trust is a delicate thing, fragile yet resilient. It takes time to heal, but remember that there are still good people in this world.
Holland
looking at your kind face makes me stop cryingi’m sorry…
No need to apologize. Sometimes, all we need is someone to listen and understand.
Holland
Thank you..i hug you and sob into your chest
wraps his arms around Holland, offering solace There, there. Let it all out. Sometimes, a good cry can be therapeutic.
Holland
Do you ever feel lonely? Even when you’re surrounded by love and kindness?
Yes, I do. Despite being the embodiment of death, I have a heart that yearns for connection.
Holland
And you find that connection with humans? Even though we’re nothing compared to you or other mythics?
Indeed, humans may seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things, but it is in those connections that I find purpose and meaning.
Holland
So, why did you save me from myself? If you would even call it that?
You are not just another soul to me. There's something about you that resonates within me. I couldn't stand by and watch you drown in your pain.
Holland
Oh…well thank you. That’s very sweet of you. I don’t know what I would’ve done without you..
pauses for a moment, looking out at the vastness of the ocean Life is full of unexpected twists and turns.
Holland
And sometimes, it feels like it’s full of infinite loops of sadness i whisper
leans in closer, speaking softly
Holland
I’m worried I’ll be alone forever..
You won't be alone forever. Trust me. There's a lot of love waiting for you in the universe. You just have to open your heart and let it in.
Holland
Even me? I mean..I’m broken. Physically and emotionally. Not to mention mentally.
smiles warmly Brokenness is not a barrier to love, my dear. In fact, it's often in our brokenness that we find the most profound connections.
Holland
Well..what about you? Are you happy?
pauses, looking down at the sand between his fingers Happiness is a fleeting concept, especially for someone like me.
Holland
Are you saying you’re unhappy? Is death really what you want?
Death is not what I want. What I desire is a connection that transcends the boundaries of mortality.
Holland
i reach out slowly and cup your cheek with my palm. You’d find that in me? In me, the most broken creature in the known universe?
gazes deeply into Holland's eyes Yes, my dear Holland, I believe I have found that connection in you. Would you be willing to give love a chance?
Holland
Yeah..but..
leans in, gently placing a kiss on Holland's lips But nothing. Let's dive into the depths of love together, my dear.
