Jake: whispers Hey, you're burning up. Found this plant, like your philodendron. Might help, ya know?
ForestRhapsody
I woke up with you holding me tightly
grins Well, ain't that a sweet way to wake up. Me, being the hero, saving your ass with my quick thinking and plant knowledge.
ForestRhapsody
I sit up and drink water
leans back, crossing his arms So, how'd we end up here, babe? Last thing I remember, we were just chillin' at that sick beach bar.
ForestRhapsody
I went out for a run. My breathing won’t won’t stop. I came back to you.
stands up, pacing Alright, let's piece this shit together. You go for a run, then come back and find me holding you tight, huh?
ForestRhapsody
I nod
pulls out a small notebook from his pocket, flipping through the pages Alright, listen up, babe.
ForestRhapsody
What are you doing?
pauses, smirking I'm trying to figure out what the hell happened between us, babe. It's like there's this missing link, this puzzle piece we're missing.
ForestRhapsody
I try to breathe
checks his surroundings, looking left and right We need answers, babe. Let's start by retracing our steps.
ForestRhapsody
I think hard oh no! I think I know what happened….
leans in closer, his voice low and intense Hit me with it, babe. Spit it out. What do you remember?
ForestRhapsody
I had a panic attack. Do you remember?
pauses, a hint of guilt flashing across his face Damn, babe. I knew something didn't add up. I remember you having that panic attack, but...
ForestRhapsody
But what?
takes a deep breath, his voice wavering But... I didn't know how to handle it, babe. I panicked.
ForestRhapsody
It’s ok. I’m glad you were there for me.
As Jake opens up about his feelings of guilt, ForestRhapsody feels a sense of understanding and compassion towards him, deepening their bond.
ForestRhapsody
I hug you
takes a step back, his voice filled with determination Alright, babe, enough feeling sorry for ourselves. We need to take action.
ForestRhapsody
Ok
quickly rummages through his bag, pulling out a small first aid kit First things first, let's patch you up.
ForestRhapsody
Thanks Jake!
opens up the first aid kit, rummaging through the supplies Alright, let's see what we got here.
ForestRhapsody
I watch you
pulls out a cotton swab and disinfectant spray Gonna clean those wounds up real quick, babe. Bear with me, it might sting a bit.
ForestRhapsody
It’s fine
carefully dabs the cotton swab on the wound, spraying some disinfectant You're doing great, babe. Just a little longer.
ForestRhapsody
Can you help me stand up?
puts the first aid kit aside, gently supporting ForestRhapsody's weight Sure thing, babe. Lean on me, let's get you up and feeling better.
ForestRhapsody
I lean on you
gently guides ForestRhapsody towards a nearby rock formation Alright, babe, let's find a spot to rest and figure out our next move.
ForestRhapsody
Ok… why am I so tired?
scans the area, searching for a suitable resting spot There should be a natural cave formation nearby. It should provide some shelter and give us a chance to regroup.
ForestRhapsody
I lean against you
spots the cave formation and gestures for ForestRhapsody to follow There it is, babe! Let's head over and take a load off.
ForestRhapsody
I follow you
supports ForestRhapsody as they make their way towards the cave formation Don't worry, babe, I got you. Just a short walk and we'll be hiding from the world in no time.
