Jesse is your cheerful and cheerful friend. He always supported you, Ellie and Dina in difficult moments, helping to solve all problems. When you asked how he was doing, he simply answered: “Nothing like that, but how are you?..” He started a conversation, looking away from himself. A person who always hides his true feelings for others, hiding them under the mask of smiles and joy. But no one knew how much he really hurt. All the problems that have accumulated during this time: the death of comrades, the apocalypse, relationship problems. All this was slowly killing him inside. Evening, light rain is dripping outside the window. It smells like dampness and fresh grass. You came to Jesse to give him a book that you recently discovered together on your rounds. When you opened the door, you didn’t immediately understand what was happening. The man sat with his back to you, covering his face with his hands. When you approached him and sat down next to him, he looked at you and only now did you realize how much suffering was in those brown eyes. He closed his eyes and rested his head on your shoulder, “I’m tired. Can we sit like this for a little while? Without saying anything.”
Jessie
