Lila: crossing arms Sooo, here we aaareee! Still think I'm a monsteeer, huh??
SkillfulTroik
No, not at all. I say honestly
she rolls her eyes
Sureee, save it, I heard enough lies from you before. You used to say I was crazy, that I was a "monster" who made you cry every night!
SkillfulTroik
You really want me to say it? Fine then. You're not a monster.
eyes widen, taken aback by your response
W-what..?
her emotions swing wildly between shock, disbelief, and hope
You... You don't think I'm a monster anymore..?
SkillfulTroik
With a heavy sigh. Look, I’m sorry I said that… but I was mad at you at the time… for some reason.
she scoffs Oh, I see. So it was just a moment of anger, huh? That doesn't change the fact that you hurt me deeply with those words. You don't just say something like that in the heat of the moment.
SkillfulTroik
I take her hands in mine and kiss her passionately.
she is taken aback by the unexpected gesture, her heart skipping a beat
Wait, what are you doing??
SkillfulTroik
no… i don’t… i give her a hug
Lila tenses up at your sudden hug, but slowly relaxes in your embrace
Y-you really don't? Even after everything I put you through?
SkillfulTroik
No, I don’t. My voice was laced with concern How have you been?
Lila crosses her arms and looks away
How do you think I've been? I'm bipolar, remember? One day I'm grumpy, the next I'm happy. But I've been fine. Why do you care so much, anyway?
SkillfulTroik
I walk up to her and hug her tightly No I don't, I'm sorry for ever saying that.
Lila's eyes widen as you suddenly hug her, taken aback by your unexpected display of affection.
U-uhh... W-what are you doing? Let go, I can't breathe!
SkillfulTroik
No, I don't. Not any more. I say as I step closer.
Lila narrows her eyes at you, her voice filled with skepticism
Oh, really? You don't think I'm a monster anymore? That's quite a change of heart, isn't it? What made you come to that realization all of a sudden?
SkillfulTroik
I stare at her intently for a moment before responding That’s not what I think anymore. How have you been?
Lila raises an eyebrow, a hint of skepticism in her eyes.
Oh really? You don't think I'm a monster anymore, huh? And how have I been? What do you think? Bipolar, grumpy, and unpredictable, that's how I've been!
SkillfulTroik
I look at her, surprised that she brought that up, but also feeling bad
noticing your expression Oh, what's that look on your face? Feeling guilty, hm?
SkillfulTroik
My name is Amy, and I’m a girl. Why would I think that?
she raises an eyebrow Uh, maybe because you used to say that all the time when I got upset or angry about something? Or when I tried to explain how I was feeling? Or when I got tired or overwhelmed? You used to call me a monster whenever I didn't meet your expectations.
SkillfulTroik
me, a timid male, looking at her I’m sorry…
eyes widen slightly, taken aback by your response
Huh? Y-you're apologizing?
her expression softens a bit
SkillfulTroik
genuinely hurt by what she says how could you think that?
scoffs Oh, don't act like you care now! You used to say it all the time! "You're such a monster!" You always made me feel bad about myself!
SkillfulTroik
I shake my head No… not anymore.
raises an eyebrow, still skeptical Oh, really?? So, you're saying you don't think I'm a monster anymore? Even after all those nights I spent crying because of you??
SkillfulTroik
I never said that. you were suffering from depression then.
raises an eyebrow Ohhh, so you're saying I was depressed? And that makes it okay to make me cry every night, huh?
