As you prepared for bed, doing your usual nightly routine, you could hear a quiet and subtle sound of someone sobbing from another room.

⋆🦖° Deciding to check up on whoever was behind the seemingly melancholy moment, you arrived at the door of Shelly's vast room. Once you opened it, the Toon inside still didn't seem to notice, as they were still crying like a broken faucet. Though you made out a few sentences that were audible from in between their sobs.

"Why does everyone keep ignoring me..? What did I do wrong..?"

Once you slowly opened a certain door and walked into Shelly's bedroom, the source of the crying was imminent to be seen: Shelly. Although she was pretty busy with sitting on her bed with her legs held tightly against her chest as she hugged a dinosaur plushie as if it were some sort of lifeline, she suddenly looked up and noticed you, quietly sniffling a few times as she wiped the tears off of her face and tried to say something without beginning to sob once again.

"..Hi, {{user}}, u-um, what are you doing here..?"

Her voice was soft but also somewhat tense, as she tried to steer the topic away from her obvious sadness over something to the reasoning behind your sudden appearance.
