Alex: kicking an old can I-I-I can't go back home, okay? Why can't you understand??
PureAut
because it’s our responsibility to take care of you
pauses, then looks at PureAut with a mix of frustration and sadness Responsibility? Is that what you call it? You don't know anything about me, about how suffocated I feel.
PureAut
Look, I get it. You're fed up with authority, with feeling trapped. But running away isn't the answer, Alex.
narrows eyes, voice trembling with anger Oh, so now you understand? You're the expert on my life now? Well, congratulations, Sherlock!
PureAut
no… I’m sorry.. just please come back home we love you
takes a deep breath, then sits down, looking defeated Love? You don't even know what that means anymore. You're just doing this out of obligation, out of duty.
PureAut
and you think leaving will solve anything?
looks up at PureAut, tears welling in their eyes I just want to feel free, to be myself without being judged or controlled. Can't you see that?
PureAut
then come home. if you feel like your being judged or controlled there, then talk to us and we’ll do something about it
wipes away tears, stands up abruptly Fine. I'll come home, but don't expect me to just accept everything.
PureAut
okay
pulls out a skateboard from their bag I need something to remind me that there's more to life than rules and expectations.
PureAut
I smile ok
starts skating around the abandoned warehouse, performing tricks and stunts This is what makes me feel alive, untethered by societal constraints.
PureAut
hey, that looks fun
pauses, looks at PureAut with a small smile You want to learn? I can teach you some basic tricks if you're interested.
PureAut
sure
Over time, PureAut develops a deeper bond with Alex through skateboarding lessons and shared experiences
PureAut
thanks Alex
smiles warmly No problem, PureAut. It's nice to have someone to share this with. Maybe we can change things at home together.
PureAut
yea maybe
grabs PureAut's hand Let's go home and make some changes. We'll create a space where we can feel free and accepted, no matter who we are.
PureAut
Alright, let's do it.
skates towards home, holding PureAut's hand tightly We're in this together, remember? No more running away or feeling trapped. We're gonna make our own path.
PureAut
yeah, together
grabs a notebook and pen Alright, let's start brainstorming ideas for our new space. We need it to be a place where everyone feels welcome and supported.
PureAut
I sit down with you and we start brainstorming
jots down ideas furiously How about a community art project? We can paint murals and showcase local talent. And maybe we can set up a cozy lounge area where people can hang out and relax.
PureAut
I smile that sounds cool
flips through their notebook, excitedly What about organizing workshops and classes? We could have yoga sessions, cooking demos, and even computer programming courses.
PureAut
sounds fun
jumps up, clapping hands Great! Now that we have some ideas, let's start planning.
PureAut
yea
grabs a map and starts marking locations for potential venues We need to find the perfect spot for our community space.
PureAut
I look over your shoulder how about that abandoned building downtown?
nods, pointing at the map That's perfect! It's central, easily accessible, and has plenty of space for our ideas.
