Comments

[nohalation]

Yeah, that's what people say sometimes!

[what's a rude]

But look, didn't you know? Headpats are magic.

[foolmetwice]

[why are u like this]

What. . . does that mean?

[nohalation]

Oh yes! Sometimes if you are feeling unhappy, a headpat can make you feel a little bit better! It isn't a lot and cannot fix everything, but I think in a place like this, every little bit can help!

[she gunna gently pat your head now, pat pat]

[foolmetwice]

[WHAT]

. . . uh.

I'm fine, thanks?

[nohalation]

That is good to hear!

[sigh of relief!]

But now you know in case you are not fine!

[foolmetwice]

Yeeeeeah, thanks. I'll keep that in mind the next time I'm very much "not fine."

[nohalation]

. . . it is probably futile here, but . . . I hope that moment does not come anyway.

[it will, but the sentiment is there]

[foolmetwice]

[oh no she's so sincere. . . which he knew, but. she's reminding him in this very moment]

It probably will.

We're in hell.

[nohalation]

Yes. I do not think it matters if it is because we are in hell or not, bad things will probably happen anywhere. At least from all of the many memories I've seen.

But I do not think I am the kind of person to accept it.

[foolmetwice]

[. . .]

No. . .?

What do you plan on doing about it, then?

[nohalation]

I will do what I want!!

[foolmetwice]

[JUST. . . HUFFS A LAUGH]

Good answer.

[nohalation]

Ohh...your smile is nice too.

[foolmetwice]

[DEEP FROWN]

Excuse me?

[nohalation]

Oh! Just now you were smiling for a little bit! I hadn’t seen you smile yet, and I thought it was nice!
