*Sketch sits silently at the base of his tree, thinking. His eyes are purple and he seems to look somewhat upset.*

[b]Anri walks past, gloomy as well. She sits by the tree, looking up at Sketch.[/b] "You alright..?"
-
"I-I'm not sure..." *He is looking down, despite Anri sitting down next to him.* (He's on the ground, not in the tree.)
-
(Sorry...I'm tired) [b]She sighs, shaking her head.[/b] "Yeah...I know how you feel..."
-
"So much has happened... It has really gotten me thinking about my past again... But I don't want to think about my past... Mortar was a close friend and I still haven't gotten over losing him... I had to fight my own parents... I just don't know how to deal with this much... I've been able to act okay outside but for the past few weeks it's just been an instant breakdown every time I go home..."
-
"Yeah, I know that feeling. After Horace, my...best friend, died, Kross left to return here, and Aldrich was slain... I felt worthless. I didn't have a purpose, not back in my land. The world was practically ending... Then I had to travel with a maniac, a douche, and a thief for a month... I felt awful. Even when I got here...I still thought I didn't have a purpose. Usually, I stayed in my room, doing nothing. Patches and Smough would come by and get me food and water. I just thanked them and..." [b]She sighs.[/b] "Life is harsh...but you have to get through things. You can't give up, just because things are going bad."
-
"I know that, and I don't give up... But I just think this is too much for me to handle... I don't get over a lot of things as easily as others might... I almost never get over losing people... Instead I just push it to the back of my head, to just not think about it, to try and never think about it. But it doesn't work beyond a certain point... And I think I'm past that point..." *He buries his head in his hands. He speaks again but doesn't take his head out of his hands.* "And by the way, everyone has a purpose, everyone."
-
"It's alright..I promise." [b]She places her hand on Sketch's shoulder.[/b] [b]For once...she doesn't know what to say.[/b]
-
*He continues to sit there silently with his head in his hands but seems to calm down a little when she touches his shoulder.*
-
[b]Anri remains there, thinking.[/b] "So...anything you wanna chat about? Ask me some...questions? Anything?"
-
"Umm... I don't know... How was your day?"
-
"It was...good." [b]It actually wasn't. Anri has spent nearly the entire day in her room, terrified of what could potentially happen. However, she didn't mention it. Not now, anyway.[/b]
-
"Are-are you sure? You don't sound okay..."
-
"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine."
-
"Oh, okay... Obviously my day hasn't been great... I'm out here losing it for everyone to see." *You can hear him start sniffling.*
-
Edited by Orn: 7/23/2016 2:53:29 PM"Sketch... You're not losing it. No one here thinks that.." [b]She looks at Sketch, worried.[/b]
-
"No, I don't think I'm going crazy... Maybe I'm already crazy... But I mean I'm sitting here having a breakdown so..."
-
"...Hey. It's fine...I'm here, Y'know. I can help, if you need anything." [b]Anri smiles, trying to make Sketch more comfortable.[/b]
-
"Thanks, that's good to hear..."
-
"You just need some time. Trust me, everything will be fine."
-
*He doesn't stop sniffling but his tone of voice seems a little happier.* "Thanks..."
-
"So...whatcha wanna do?"
-
"I'm not sure... Did you have anything in mind?"
-
"Well...I need to meet your cousin. Saph...I don't know her name."
-
"Oh, y-yeah I can take you to her..."
-
"Thanks."
