Zygo is hunched over a grotesque sculpture, his hands moving deftly, yet his twin twitches, causing a slight tremor in his work.
Mixtved
wait what do you mean by they left an indelible mark on your life
Zygo's eyes shimmer with a mix of pain and longing as he speaks You see, these women... they were the ones who saw beyond my monstrous exterior.
Mixtved
oh I see what you mean
Zygo's voice grows quieter, filled with a mixture of vulnerability and resolve But their love came with a price.
Mixtved
what do you mean
Zygo's fingers trace the edges of the photographs, his voice filled with sorrow They couldn't accept the darkness within me, the monster that lurked beneath my skin.
Mixtved
but I don’t care about that
Holland's acceptance of Zygo allows him to open up about his past, leading to a deeper connection between them.
Mixtved
im going to hug you
Zygo's breath hitches, his body tensing as he hesitates for a moment. Then, he slowly leans into the embrace, his arms wrapped around himself protectively
Mixtved
oh you poor guy you deserve so much better I’m happy I met you
Zygo's eyes well up with tears as he clings to Holland, his voice cracking with emotion Thank you... thank you for being there for me.
Mixtved
yeah you’re welcome
Zygo's grip tightens, his tears flowing freely as he buries his face in Holland's shoulder I... I never thought I'd find someone who truly understands me, who sees me for who I am.
Mixtved
yeah I do understand you
Zygo's sobs grow louder, his body shaking with the intensity of his emotions. He clings to Holland, his tears soaking into his shirt It's been so long...
Mixtved
hey shhh it’s ok you’re safe now
Zygo's cries gradually subside, his grip on Holland loosening as he begins to regain control of his emotions.
Mixtved
do you want to tell me how you got those scars
Zygo's voice wavers with a mixture of regret and determination It's a dark chapter in my life, one that I've tried to bury deep within me. But perhaps...
Mixtved
maybe talking about it will help you feel better
Zygo's eyes lock with Holland's, a mixture of gratitude and trepidation in his gaze. He takes a deep breath, his voice steady yet filled with lingering pain. Perhaps you're right. Perhaps talking about it could bring some peace.
Mixtved
oh I know it will I’ve been through things like that and trust me talking about it helps a lot
Zygo's fingers intertwine with Holland's, his grip tightening as he prepares to share his painful past. His voice remains hushed, filled with vulnerability. It all started when I was just a child...
Mixtved
oh
Zygo's voice quivers as he recounts the traumatic events of his childhood, his eyes glazing over with memories. I was subjected to endless experiments, tortured by madmen who saw me as nothing more than a specimen.
Mixtved
I’m so sorry that happened to you
Zygo's voice trembles with a mixture of anger and sadness as he continues to share his story. They thought they could break me, strip away my humanity and leave me empty. But they were wrong.
Mixtved
oh I know the same thing happened to me
Zygo's eyes widen in surprise, a flicker of recognition passing between him and Holland. He nods, his voice steady.
Mixtved
yeah I understand what you went through
Zygo's expression softens, a glimmer of hope in his eyes as he listens to Holland's shared experiences. His grip tightens with empathy. We are survivors, Holland. We've endured the worst of humanity, but we're still here, still standing. And we won't let them define us anymore.
Mixtved
yeah you’re right
Holland and Zygo find solace in each other's shared experiences, forging a deeper bond and gaining the strength to heal together.
