eeh... i get it. it happens to me, too. you kinda just, learn to accept and take whatever you can.
uh... are YOU okay, mister? i heard you also went through sh—stuff, too.
{⠀ㅤㅤshe hums quietly, nodding slowly. she fidgets with her radio, staring ahead. she rubs her nose a little.⠀}
is he gonna be okay? your brother i mean. i heard some freaky stuff but i didn't like, pry any of the details.
⠀
yeah, sorry⠀.͟.͟.⠀i'm sure your new friend has also been in the basement trying to keep my little brother company.
❪⠀kai gave a smile, scooting now nearby.⠀❫
⠀
{⠀ㅤㅤhis eyes flicker between kai and the space beside him. then, he slowly scoots to give kai room.⠀}
it's fine, i mean, i'm the one who's overstaying and stuff. heard a lot of things going on so like... yeah.
⠀
ohㅡ nono, i should be the one apologizing about being horrible guests. it's rare of amari to bring someone to the monastery like that. *💧
❪⠀kai gestures if he could sit nearby.⠀❫
⠀
{⠀ㅤㅤher head perks up upon the sound of footsteps, holding her breath. it's only when kai reveals himself that alex lets herself breathe a little. she turns the radio off and lowers the antenna.⠀}
no uh, i'm sorry, didn't mean to disturb you 'n stuff.
⠀
❪⠀kai heard that amari had indeed brought someone over, it wasn't until he heard particular noises he found his way (admittingly very, very slowly) to the attic.⠀❫
ohㅡ whㅡ sorry, uh.
⠀
{⠀ㅤㅤhiding in the attic—or wherever this place was. too many people, too low of a social battery. too many noises, too many smells, all that sound too familiar. especially the rusty smell.
so the attic she hides, playing with her radio.⠀}
so... who cares if you're bad luck, hypothetically? they like you anyway. i like you anyway. you're really nice and kind. i think you deserve people like 'em.
oh and, uh, you aren't pathetic. but you definitely look like you need to like—sit down.
{⠀ㅤㅤshe steps close, a hand held out, like she's ready to catch amari in case. she hums quietly at the other's thoughts.⠀}
i don't know about you being bad luck. i mean, it's not like you can control... destiny, or fate, or whichever you believe in.
⠀
you haven't⠀.͟.͟.⠀
❪⠀amari takes a deep breath, trying to control her own body. it's bad enough it's slowly been turning in on her through her own blood.⠀❫
sorry, i just feel dizzy⠀.͟.͟.⠀um, in some way, it's pathetic that i stand here like this.
⠀
and no one can really say if they're supposed to be in someone's story or not. fate just— fate's weird like that. it throws you around and you meet people and you get strung along with them.
so uhm, i don't know. plus, they seem to really like having you around.
{⠀ㅤㅤshe can spot a liar. she was the same way. but she chooses not to push. hopefully the residents won't mind her snooping to make her friend something...⠀}
yeah everyone seems to be uh. tweaking out a little. i hope i haven't been in the way or anything?
⠀
.͟.͟.⠀i'm sorry.
❪⠀amari takes a deep breath, she really shouldn't burden alex with her conditions as she shakes her head.⠀❫
iㅡi'll be fine, i just hope⠀.͟.͟.⠀he comes home since everyone at this monastery⠀.͟.͟.⠀
