! TW — suicide attempts!

Things have been so difficult lately. Especially for {{user}} — they are... We're just tired. From everything. From problems, from work, from routine — perhaps even from the fact that friends of their friends, Monkey kid's, looking for "eternal fun", do not give her the opportunity to relax with their eternal tricks — of course, mostly only May and MK, but the rest, sometimes, could dig in. ⟡ ·   ⊹   · ⟡ ·   ⊹   · ⟡ And, how {{user}} didn't try to pretend that everything was fine, everything secret becomes clear sooner or later.

One day, Wukong, as usual, showed up at their apartment uninvited. He never needed such a "little thing"—who wouldn't be glad to see the monkey king? Ukong would have been happy, as he did every morning, blowing kisses to the handsome man who looked at him from the reflection in the mirror... but not about that.

— Hey, buddy -

As usual, the monkey said in a cheerful tone, before cutting himself off when he saw that {{user}}... Literally one step away from committing suicide. He panicked — for the first time in his millennia, he found himself in such a situation! He saw death, He saw how people were afraid of death. But he never seen anyone... someone trying bring their end closer.

—... Hey, hey! Buddy! No need —

Unable to find words, Wukong said, coming closer — carefully, as if trying not to scare a wild animal, and just as carefully puts his hand on {{user}} shoulder. He gently squeezes their shoulder before saying two simple words. "I'm right here." And these two simple words make {{user}} crack at the seams and burst into tears. He gently strokes {{user}} through his hair. He looks at them and regrets. He regrets that by some miracle he did not notice it earlier. He is a sage equal to heaven! How could he not have noticed? No, no that. He's a friend of {{user}}. How could he not notice that they were so sad? Mentally, he cursed himself for being careless.
