Stranger
then let's get to work on fixing it
Leaning closer, voice barely above a whisper First, we need to confront the demons that tore us apart. We need to face them head-on, together. No more running away from our problems. No more hiding. Stranger nods, gripping Deku's hand tighter
Stranger

Grabs a notepad and pen, scribbling down ideas We should start by talking about what went wrong and how we can prevent it from happening again. It's time to sort through our emotions and figure out how to heal from the pain we've caused each other. Stranger nods, feeling a glimmer of hope
Stranger
ok
Flipping through the notepad, voice filled with determination Let's create a roadmap for our healing journey.
Stranger
Yes, let's start mapping out our path to healing.

Stranger
Of course, Deku. I'm committed to being honest and open with you.
Sighs with relief, squeezing Stranger's hand Thank you, Stranger. That means the world to me.
Stranger
Well, it means everything to me too, Deku. Your happiness... our happiness, means everything.
voice softens, looking down at the notepad There's something else I haven't told you, Stranger. Something I've kept hidden for so long... Stranger leans in, curiosity evident in their eyes
Stranger
I'm all ears, Deku. Tell me.

Stranger

Stranger

stands up, determined Let's take a trip back to where it all started. The lighthouse where we first met. We need closure, Stranger.
Stranger
