You can start by trying hug me, I'm sure you'd hug quite well.

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

(The hug continues for a few more minutes before she finally releases Circe, sitting up straight.)

You could held me, it's not a true hug unless both take part.

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

Thank you... Circe.

(Her arms wrapped around the younger sinner, trying not to squeeze her as she rests her chin on the other's shoulder.)

I've needed this, thanks again.

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

Gosh, you're just the sweetest... You're not even mad at me. Would it be rude of me to ask for a hug?

(She turns back to the younger sinner, black mascara lines streaking down her cheeks with tears. Chelsea thinks it might be a little selfish at the moment.)

——black mascara was streaking down her cheeks along with her tears.)

Stupid... Tears... Stupid makeup... I'm sorry that you need... To see me like this.

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

Sorry... I'm just too emotional... Right now.

(She continued to try and wipe her tears away as soft sobbing could be heard, not noticing that the younger sinner had gotten closer to her. The woman had a accepted that her makeup would be ruined at this point as——

——Circe wouldn't have to see her crying as she was feeling a little embarrassed. She tried to wipe away her tears as quickly as they came so her makeup wouldn't be ruined with little to no avail.)

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

It was definitely a major surprise... Especially since you're the only person that came... To see me on my birthday, thanks for thinking about me...

(As she spoke, the woman began tearing up until tears were streaking down her cheeks. Chelsea turned her head away so that——

@unshackledsin https://t.co/GRzSXEE0KL Good, you need the sleep.

@unshackledsin https://t.co/GRzSXEE0KL About time you're getting some sleep!

[astro in real time @astroinrealtime]

be honest even if your voice shakes, aquarius.

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

—— out at you the way I did, I'm really sorry for my behavior that day.

(Sitri curled up on the floor between them, not favoring either of them too much as they spoke, acting something of a bridge between them.)

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

(She hesitantly entered her unit, still unsure if she should really be allowed in after how she hurt her. Chelsea took a seat nearby but far enough away in case the other needed some space.)

I still shouldn't have said those things, Circe. I shouldn't have lashed——

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

(She looked rather awkward coming face to face with the younger sinner, she couldn't even make eye contact with her.)

I'm... I'm sorry about the other week, I didn't mean to come off so rude to you. It's just that every year around my birthday... I get depressed.

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

@unshackledsin ——Sitri had stopped the Countess by standing in her way, rubbing against her legs so she couldn't leave just yet. Taking a hint she turned back around to gently knock on Circe's door a few times.)

Circe... It's Chelsea, I... I came to talk to you.

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

(Chelsea is approaching @unshackledsin's unit, her right hand raised to knock on her door but she stopped before it made contact, not knowing if she should be allowed to visit after their last encounter.)

No... I should leave her be.

(As the woman turned around to leave——

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

(Sitting alone of the roof again, bottle of hard liquor in her hand while kicking at the snow around her.)

I messed up big time.

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

(Chelsea couldn't bring herself to say anything or even try to stop the younger Sinner, she didn't want to make her anymore uncomfortable than she already did. She was on the verge of tears herself, knowing she just ruined her chance for friendship.)

[ᎢᎻᎬ ᏟᎾᏌNᎢᎬᏚᏚ @CrystalCountxss]

(The only thing she managed to grab was her pant leg as she was about to walk away, looking down at her.)

You didn't sound so sure when I asked if we were friends so I took it as that we aren't friends, besides I haven't earned your trust and friendship begins with trust.
