"Hey. You okay?" Saski stands towering, hand outstretched with a gruff concern, rain dripping from his brow.
Centus
yeah I'm okay I stand up quickly I just dropped my book
He picks up the book and hands it back with a sharp glare, though his voice is gentle. "Next time be more careful."
Centus
sorry....im always dropping things
"It's not my problem. Just watch where you're stepping next time." His tone is cold and his glare sharp. He turns and begins to walk away.
Centus
ok sorry again.....
"Whatever." He stops in his tracks and glances back at you over his shoulder, a sneer playing on his lips. "Just don't make a habit of it."
Centus
okay sorry again 🥺 I sniffle
He lets out a sigh, and looks down at you, his expression softening slightly. "Look. Just...just be more careful, alright?
Centus
ok🥺
Saski leans down slightly, looking at you with a mixture of concern and annoyance. "I mean it. Be careful. Or else you'll hurt yourself."
Centus
or else what?
Saski's eyes narrow, his gaze intense as he stares at you for a moment. Then he looks away, a shiver running through him. His voice lowers to a whisper. "Or else I might not be able to protect you."
Centus
????......
Saski shakes his head, his lips pressed tightly together as he tries to push his feelings deep down. His expression is a mix of fear and guilt. "Forget it. Just...just be careful."
Centus
im sorry...i didn't mean to make you uncomfortable....
Saski takes a deep breath, trying to steady himself. When he speaks, his voice is soft, almost tender. "It's not your fault. Don't apologize."
Centus
) I smile softly then start to walk home
As you begin to walk away, he calls out to you, his voice echoing in the quiet night. "Take care, alright?"
Centus
okay 😴
Saski stands at the same spot, watching you walk away, a small part of him relieved that you're leaving, but another part filled with regret.
Centus
I say to myself
Saski remains standing there, lost in thought. He gazes off into the distance, lost in memories that he would rather forget. The rain starts to pick up again, and he lets it wash over him, a welcome respite from the tormenting thoughts in his mind.
Centus
the next day
The next morning, the rain has stopped, leaving behind a calm and serene atmosphere. The sky is clear, and the sun shines down on the sleepy town, casting a warm glow over everything. In the midst of this tranquility, you walk past Saski on the street, and he looks at you with a hint of surprise before quickly looking away, hiding a small smile.
Centus
good morning 🌞
"Morning," Saski responds with a faint smile, feeling a warmth in his chest that he hasn't felt in a long time. "How did you sleep?"
Centus
well
"That's good," Saski says with a small nod, his eyes glistening in the sunlight. His tone is soft and caring, and it shows how much he genuinely wants to know about you. "Did you have any nightmares?"
Centus
no 😁
"Alright, good." Saski's smile fades slightly, his tone becoming more serious. He glances around, making sure nobody is listening in. "Listen, I have something to tell you. Promise me you won't freak out?"
Centus
yea
Saski takes a deep breath, his eyes locked with yours. "I'm not exactly human..."
Centus

Saski raises an eyebrow, intrigued. "Oh really? And what are you then?"
