Royan: [Would you like to talk more about it?]
Katie: [What do you mean?]
Royan: [I mean, your secret.]
Katie: [Oh, no. Is it alright if I keep it to myself?]
Royan: [I may be overstepping your boundaries here-]
Katie: [Ngl you are a bit.]
Royan: [Ngl? What does that mean? Regardless, I cannot help but be concerned.]
Katie: [Why? They are my scars, and like I said it’s from a while ago.]
Royan: [Was it out of punishment?]
Katie: [Listen, I get that you’re worried, though I don’t think you SHOULD be, but just understand that it’s a sensitive topic and I do not want to talk about it anymore.]
Royan: “...”
Katie: [Is that alright?]
Royan: [No one should feel the need to keep a pained secret.]
Katie: [What’s your deal?! Why does it matter why or how it happened?]
Royan: [I apologize, but where I am from no one gets left alone hurt.]
Katie: [Yeah well we aren’t in Gillua are we?]
Royan: [Wherever we go, we bring Gillua with us.]
Katie: [Well maybe you should-]
Royan: [Humans only have so much time, to wallow in pain and keep it hidden only worsens the damage. We cannot allow ourselves to stand by and watch as someone is hurt.]
Katie: [Just leave me alone! I did so much for you already, the least you could do is respect my boundaries and let it go! Like I said I get that you're concerned, and I honestly appreciate it, really. But this isn’t something I want others to know about me. It’s my past, my scars, my pain! I don’t need anyone’s pity, I’m fine by myself. No one else should feel like they should burden what happened, especially a stranger I just met-]
*Hugs
Katie: [What are you doing?]
Royan: [You’re not a burden, Katherine, and I do not pity you. I can tell that your scars are not only physical but deeply rooted within you, and it is still prevalent.]
*Shove
Katie: [Who are you to say anything?]
Royan: [You’re not alone Katherine.]
Katie: [Just stop! I’ve been fine by myself! I will always hurt! Everyone will! I’ve always been alone and I will be and I’m fine with that ok?!]
Royan: [Not anymore Katherine, I'm here.]
Katie: [WHY?! WHY WON’T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?]
Royan: [Because you helped me. You have been kind to me and cared for me. You are someone who goes out of your way to help others in need. Someone who out of the goodness of their own heart helps a stranger in a foreign world. Don’t you think, that person deserves to be heard too?]
Katie: [No one’s going to understand! They shouldn’t need to!]
Royan: [You’re right, they don’t need to, all they need to do is listen.]
Katie: [What do you mean?]
Royan: [You’ve been wanting that, correct? Just someone to talk to, someone who would lend an ear.]
Katie: [Not even Camren knows any of this…]
Royan: [Camren? Are they your friend? I’m sure once they found out they would be worried as well.]
Katie: [But why?]
Royan: [Because Katherine, you matter to them. You matter to me as well, to those who care about you.]
Katie: [Don’t you think, it’d just be better off if they didn’t know?]
Royan: [If Camren was going through something you were not able to see, would you not want to make sure he is ok?]
Katie: (Camren… kept to himself the fact that he could speak. All these years… It must have been hard for him. I told him the same things, and yet, I can’t bring myself to open up. Am I being fair to him? But if he found out, would he really accept me?)
*Sniff
Royan: [I- I’m sorry for making you cry! That wasn’t my intention. I apologize-]
Katie: [I know that,]
Royan: [?]
Katie: [I know that I would be there for him.]
Royan: [See, it doesn’t seem so scary now does it?]
Katie: [You still don’t understand, how hard it is for me to just, speak about any of it.]
Royan: [It’s ok to take your time. It may be hard to unload everything now, or all at once, but you do not need to.]

Katie: [Even then,]
Royan: [I will never understand everything you may have felt or went through, but that does not matter does it?]
Katie: [But what if, Camren doesn’t want to be with me anymore?]
Royan: [If someone truly cares about you, they will not leave you no matter the struggle you may be going through.]
Katie: [Hey, if I tell you about my scars, do you promise to not see me any differently?]
Royan: [Of course, I do not see any reason for me to.]
*Sniff
Katie: [Thank you. I may need some time to open up to anyone right now, but I want to.]
Royan: [Hey like I said, no need to rush, it comes with time, you know?]
Katie: [Yeah, but is it really alright for me to tell you?]
Royan: [Well I only keep asking you!]
Katie: [I’m asking that more to myself honestly…]
Royan: [I also apologize for pushing you… I realize I should not have done that.]
*Punch!
Royan: [Ouch!]
Katie: [Yeah, that’s for making me cry outside. You idiot.]
Royan: [I deserve that one.]

*SLAP!
Evangeline: (W-WHY DOES THAT MATTER???)
*Creak
Camren: “I-I’m sorry, I really am. I promise to work on it.”
Evangeline: “I’m still telling her that you’re a perv.”
Camren: “Please don’t! I honestly didn’t mean to!”
Evangeline: “... Fine, but just this once. Putting that aside now… How does this look? Does it make me look fat?”
Camren: “Well I guess it still is a bit big…”
Evangeline: “So it does make me look fat…”
Camren: “N- That’s not what I meant! Just the shirt itself is still a bit loose, and I guess your-”
Evangeline: “? My...! MY?!?”
Camren: “N-nevermind, it looks fine.”
Evangeline: “... I’m telling.”
Camren: (I’m such an idiot… How could I…)
Camren: “Anyways, it seems like you’re dressed up, wanna get going?”
Evangeline: “Welllllll, I don’t really want people to think I’m fat.”
Camren: “You don’t look fat! Do you want me to find another shirt???”
Evangeline: “I’m kidding, let’s go- OH CAMREN!”
Camren: “I’m here…”
Evangeline: “I thought of something earlier, but I kept forgetting to tell you. You said last night, that you don’t know your last name right?”
Camren: “Uh yeah, I don’t think my parents gave me one.”
Evangeline: “But that’s so weird, don’t you think? Like how do you even go to school?”
Camren: “I mean I don’t have it written in my documents either, maybe they didn’t have a last name?”
Evangeline: “A-anyways, I was thinking, since you said they were from somewhere else.”
Camren: “Uh huh.”
Evangeline: “What if Camren! You’re a-”
*BANG!
*CRASH!
Camren: “EVA!”
Evangeline: “AHHH! It burns!”

Camren: “GET DOWN!”
*Grab!
*BANG!
*CRASH!
*thud
Camren: “Where?!? Where is it???”
Evangeline: “M-my arm… Cammy it hurts…”
Camren: “What was that!!! I don’t know what’s happening but we have to get out of here!”
Evangeline: “Cammy I-I’m scared! What’s happening?!”
Camren: “It’ll be ok! I don’t know what’s happening but-”
*BANG!
*CRASH!
Camren: (W-where?! Who’s doing this?!?)

Man 1: [She was sitting still HOW DID YOU MISS THAT?]
Man 2: [It’s not easy shooting from afar like this you jackass. Also from this distance it doesn’t do much damage.]

Man 1: [Well figure it out! I don’t want to have to rely on the poison to finish her off, so you better get the next few shots straight to the head!]
