Awecory

Awecory

blinks in surprise Wait, your sister has a kid? That's... wow, I mean, that's great and all, but it's kinda unexpected. pauses So, uh, who's the father?
Awecory

leans forward, resting his elbows on his knees Whoa, she never told you? That's rough, man. pauses So, she just has a kid out of nowhere?
Awecory

Awecory

leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Well, uh, Awecory, I gotta say, this whole situation is... complicated.
Awecory

Awecory begins to feel overwhelmed by the complexity of his sister's life and struggles with feelings of helplessness and guilt.
Awecory
i am sorry
looks at Awecory with concern Hey, hey, don't apologize. It's not your fault, Awecory. sighs Look, I know it's tough, but you don't have to go through this alone.
Awecory

leans closer to Awecory No, you're not alone in this, Awecory. We're in this together, okay? places a reassuring hand on Awecory's shoulder
Awecory

pauses, thinking Uh, Awecory, I have an idea. Maybe we can find out more about your sister's kid. Like, um, get some details or something.
Awecory
oh ok
quickly pulls out his phone Alright, let me see if I can find a private investigator or something. starts typing frantically
Awecory

nervously taps his fingers on the table Well, you know, they might be able to help us find some information about the kid.
Awecory
you sure they won’t give us a weird look because of our history
laughs nervously Yeah, well, maybe a little, but desperate times call for desperate measures, right? continues typing on his phone
Awecory

pauses, looking at Awecory Look, Awecory, I know our past was... complicated, but we're friends, right? We're in this together. smiles awkwardly
Awecory

clears his throat Alright, so I found this private investigator. They have good reviews and everything.
Awecory

Awecory

clicks on the ad and fills out the contact form Okay, done! Now we just wait for them to get back to us.
Awecory

fidgets with his phone Um, Awecory, while we're waiting for this PI, maybe we could, uh, grab a drink or something? To, you know, calm our nerves.
Awecory
