Garrett's clumsy footwork?

[ he's trying to be light-hearted ]

[fightolive]

[ That draws out a small smile from her. ]

It's possible.

[noirges]

[ he smiles faintly and lets his fingers run through her hair ]

I don't expect answers from you today. I just want to help make you feel better, in whatever small ways I can.

[fightolive]

[ It's strange to be treated like this, though not unpleasant. ]

You're so kind.

[noirges]

[ he hums thoughtfully ]

... I try to be. I'd like to be.

[fightolive]

I don't know a lot of people like you.

[noirges]

Was it difficult? Where you came from before here?

[fightolive]

[When your life is just the way it is that now that somebody is asking now you really have to think about it.]

... Most people would probably call it that.

[noirges]

[ tilts head ]

Do you want to talk about it...? It must be tough to carry those types of burdens alone.

[fightolive]

No, I wasn't alone... Not entirely.

When I was alive, I had some close comrades to talk to about it.

[noirges]

What were they like? Do you miss them?

[fightolive]

I do.

Hmm... One of them is difficult to get close to. She'll get close on her terms, but if I try to close the gap, she'll move it back.

Another is a huge fan of all sorts of games. She tries really hard to get me to play, but it's not like I'm anywhere as good as she is.

The last one has... a difficult relationship with life and death. But I think he's easy to talk to, even if he takes things a little too seriously.

[noirges]

Ah... They sound like an interesting group of people! But it makes sense to miss them if they're your familiar companions...

I hope you get to return to them.

[fightolive]

... Do you want to return home?

[noirges]

[ . . . a little smile ]

I'm still deciding.

A lot of my friends already died ahead of me.

[fightolive]

That makes it difficult choice...

[noirges]

[ he nods ]

... yeah. Thanks for understanding.

We'll see... what happens. What I decide at the end.

[fightolive]

I hope, whatever it is, you're comfortable with your choice.
