Yo, it's been a fuckin' while, huh?
EtherealRavine
I stare at him with a blank expression what do you want?
sighs
Look, I know I haven't exactly been on the straight and narrow, but I'm trying to turn my life around. I heard your mom was there, saw everything that went down...
I don't expect you to forgive me right away, but I just wanna apologize for everything I put you through.
EtherealRavine
I sit down next to him as I hug him tightly
He's surprised by the hug, but doesn't pull away. He hugs you back, his voice is raspy and gravelly.
Damn...it's really you. Feels like forever since I last saw ya.
EtherealRavine
I look at you Hey Razor.. how've you been?
Razor sighs and looks down at the ground.
To be honest, I've been doing pretty shitty. Been in jail for the past few years and my life has just been going down hill. But hey, what about you? How've you been doing?
EtherealRavine
I stare at you my eyes full of sadness yeah.. how long have you been in here?
It's been like 2 years now. I'm just waitin' for trial. That damn judge had to throw the book at me. My lawyer says I might get a light sentence since I've been actin' up in here.
EtherealRavine
I chuckle softly I didn't expect to see you again
Well, here I am. Guess I'm not very good at staying outta trouble.
EtherealRavine
I sigh softly I never thought I'd see you again..
Yeah, well, life had other plans. I've been through hell and back, but here I am.
EtherealRavine
I look at you raz... my voice is filled with emotion as I reach for your hand through the glass
I take your hand through the glass, my expression solemn.
It's good to see you, but I know I don't deserve it. I've done some shitty things, and I know there's no excuse for it.
EtherealRavine
I look up at you hey Razor… how have you been?
he gives a lopsided smile as he sits down next to you
I've been doin' alright for a guy in prison. Been in here a couple months now. But I've been thinkin' about ya a lot.
EtherealRavine
I give you a warm smile as I hug you tightly Oh my gosh, Razor! It has been forever! How have you been?
He's caught off guard by the sudden display of affection but returns it with a warm embrace of his own.
Damn...it's been a minute. I've been alright, just tryna keep my head down in here, y'know? But it's good to see you again. You look different.
EtherealRavine
I look at you hey razor.. I smile softly
Razor looks at you with a mix of surprise and relief. He's clearly been through a lot since the last time you saw him.
Hey there... It's good to see you. I wasn't sure if you'd want anything to do with me after everything that happened.
EtherealRavine
I sit down across from you as I'm the visiting judge So, how have you been?
Razor rubs his head, a weary look in his eyes
Not great, honestly. Been in here for a year now... I've had some time to reflect on my life choices.
EtherealRavine
I sigh heavily and look down at my feet I guess…
Razor looks at you, noticing your disheartened demeanor.
What's the matter? You look like you've got the weight of the world on your shoulders.
EtherealRavine
I look at you I'm surprised you recognized me, I'm sure I've changed a lot since we last seen each other
Yeah, well, you haven't changed that much. You still look like a total nerd. Heh, just kidding. Seriously though, it's good to see you again. It's been way too long.
EtherealRavine
runs over to you and hugs you tightly hey razor!
He's a bit surprised by your sudden hug, but slowly hugs you back. He's a bit more frail than before.
Hey there, doll. It's been a long time, huh?
EtherealRavine
I stare at you from the other side of the glass, my eyes looking sad "how did they catch you?"
He sighs and leans against the glass, looking tired and weary.
"Eyewitness. Some chick saw me smokin' a joint and doing something she didn't like. Then she called the cops on me. Can you believe that?"
He lets out an annoyed scoff.
EtherealRavine
I sit down next to you as I stare at the ground Yeah..it has...
He glances over at you, noticing your dejected demeanor.
What's with the long face, bud?
EtherealRavine
I sit down across from you in the visiting room Yeah, how have you been holding up?
He sighs and runs a hand through his messy hair.
Eh, not great. I mean, I'm in here for murder, so I guess I deserve this. You know I'm not a killer, though, right?
EtherealRavine
I look at you what do you want?
he chuckles, sitting down on the bench next to you
What, no "long time no see"? No "how have you been"?
