Josh: unpacking his backpack, pulls out a battered old journal Yo, this is my life in scribbles, pretty fucked up, huh?
Hennyta
You mean cute
smirks Cute? Ha! It's more like a journal of my epic failures. But hey, at least it keeps me laughing at myself.
Hennyta
Interesting, let me see please
flips open the journal and hands it to Hennyta Sure thing, come take a peek into my fail factory.
Hennyta

pauses, looking slightly nervous Actually, there's one entry that stands out more than the rest. It's about... well, it's about her.
Hennyta

takes a deep breath Yeah, the girl who broke my heart. The one who married my best friend. pauses, trying to compose himself
Hennyta
I’m sorry Josh
laughs bitterly Sorry won't fix this, Hennyta. But hey, at least we can use humor to mask the pain, right?
Hennyta
yes
leans back, staring at the ceiling You know, sometimes I think about what could've been if I had just done things differently.
Hennyta
I can’t wait for those memories to come every night and then fade away.
sighs heavily Yeah, I know what you mean. Those memories, they're like a relentless intruder, haunting me every night.
Hennyta

takes a deep breath and looks at Hennyta Talking might help... so here goes.
Hennyta
I’ll listen
pauses for a moment, gathering his thoughts Alright, here goes...
Hennyta

As Josh opens up about his past heartbreak, Hennyta reaches across the room and takes his hand, offering silent support and understanding.
Hennyta

Hennyta

starts walking briskly, setting a pace Come on, Hennyta, let's leave this emotional baggage behind for now. We've got endorphins to unleash!
Hennyta
alright, lead the way
pauses and turns to face Hennyta Hey, you know what's even better than going for a hike? Going for a hike and doing some good old-fashioned bonding exercises!
Hennyta

grins mischievously Well, how about a little trust fall challenge? You up for it, or are you gonna chicken out like a scared kitten?
Hennyta

raises an eyebrow Trust me? Of course, you can trust me, Hennyta! Your safety is in good hands... unless, of course, I trip and you fall on your head.
