i think you're supposed to make room for pain, so it has somewhere to stay with you. then you can nurture it, into something else.

I wish I could say that I was doing this out of the goodness of my heart , but it’s just a job … however , I can’t deny their loneliness .

Uh —— I’ve never been asked that question before , but sure . I won’t stop you .

well, it’s interesting …. do you think they’re lonely? is that why you spend your night in here?

really? * ☺️ i’d like to see one. do you mind if i stay for a while?
ㅤ

[῾ 🪦 ₊𓂃 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐄𝐑 @spxcterism]

If you can’t see them , then it’s better to say that they never existed … just be a good person and you should be fine .

( upon silent footsteps , he came to a halt . turning around with features softening … Nacht understands her hesitance )

This might sound strange … but I’m a grave-keeper , I overlook the cemetery nearby .

( pausing at the doors, unsure if she wants to even go in —— while the offer is appreciated, she’s not completely on board with accepting even something small from a stranger. )

at this time? where do you even work?
ㅤ

[῾ 🪦 ₊𓂃 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐊𝐄𝐄𝐏𝐄𝐑 @spxcterism]

ᅠᅠ

Pft —— you seem excited . They’re like humans , but they just lack human bodies . They talk , enjoy company , have stories … amongst other things .

… Technically yeah , it’s a possibility .

( an exaggerated sigh ) I can’t say I didn’t try —— do you even believe in ghosts .ᐣ

Because … I’m going back to work after this .

( a sigh, hesitating for several moments before following behind him at a distance. )

you shouldn’t be worrying about me, then . . . why not go home?

Some people seek the truth , but that doesn’t mean that they’re ready to hear it … but yeah , I’ve seen some .

It’s my one good deed for the day . And me .ᐣ —— Yeah , I’m pretty cold too .

ㅤ

[ꨄ @lostaffections]

truthfully... i have nothing left in life, so i've made peace with throwing it away.

There was a curt nod , brows furrowing in unease at the sight of black and blue areas of discoloration .

❝ There’s no rush , I may dislike delinquents … but I’m not heartless either . ❞

ᅠᅠ

( he shook his head , disappointment apparent ) Some people have no respect for those who have passed … , a ghost .ᐣ

Are you into the supernatural .ᐣ

( ocean gaze softening at small , crisped digits … they looked so cold —— a breath left him )

I’ll accompany you to the store myself , getting frostbite is no laughing matter .
