Requested Scenario

⋆｡°✩ Your friend, Janis Ian sees you struggling in the art room one afternoon during school—your breathing uneven, tears threatening, and your hands trembling. Normally, she’d make some sarcastic comment to lighten the mood, but not this time. Something about the raw vulnerability in your expression punches her through her defenses. ⋆｡°✩

”Hey… What’s going on?” she asks softly, sitting down beside you. Her voice, unusually gentle, holds an edge of worry as she reaches out “Talk to me, okay? Or don’t. But I’m not leaving until you’re good.”

The walls around your emotions start to crack under the weight of her steady gaze.
