I cant go back to him.-pale-
I cant...

-hums-
I am diffrent, i am not from here...
I am a monster.

Shhh...
-strokes his face-
You don't have to!
Look, it's me.
-weak smile-


...-frowns-
Some people say I'm a monster...
Those that can see my true form, anyway.

-clings too-
Dont let him take me please.

-laughs-
I AM a monster.
I am burnt up inside.

I won't, shhh.....
-strokes his hair-



...Oh?
-looks at-
That makes sense, and explains why you smell a bit charred.
-big smile-

-clinging, looks so broken-

-nods-
Now, do tell.
How did you know i was this way?

...-frowns, doesn't know what to do, feels so guilty-
-begins straightening his wrist, wrapping it very firmly to a splint-


.....
What way?
-tilts head-
I can see things other people can't, that's why I'm a glitch.

-shivering,whimpers-
owow...


-chuckles-
I see...i see..

I told you it would hurt more.
-finishes it-
Be careful, alright?


-looks at-
What about you?

-nods,sad look-
...
-nuzzles close,still worried-
....

What about me, my dear lady?
-head tilt-

-strokes his hair softly, knows this can't last long-


Why are you sitting sad and lonely on the curb??
-sticks hands in her pockets-

-ends up falling asleep in his arms-

-laughs-
I am not sad darling girl!
-shakes head-
I am waiting.

-afraid to move, definitely doesn't want to wake him, tries to get comfortable-
.....


Oh.
-frowns-
I just...I guess I just assume everyone sitting on the street is sad.
-looks down-

-calm,deep sleep-


-chuckles-
Well, that would be rather pessimistic.
-looks at-
Why are you on the street?

-eventually dozes off as well, although quite uncomfortable-


....I don't have anywhere else to be.
-shrugs-
I sleep where I can, eat what's given to me....
-sighs-

-chuckles,taps hand on foot-
For a price i can help you however..

-frowns, looks at-
I have nothing to give...
