#especially of na-hun !!

Was listening to rabbit hole on repeat like an insane person and next thing I knew I doodled him

[theprocrastinatingredkitty]

Ever thought of this part as a foreshadowing?

Seungho stating "for as long as I live" kinda indicates he doesn't have long to live for me, tbh

I love how Na-Kyum ran to the kitchen first bc that's the place that gave him warmth. But looking closely into it, since the hearth is the symbol of a home, it might foreshadow that they could get away from it all and run away as Seungho had promised Na-Kyum, but at the cost of them surviving

Since the hearth could also symbolize hardships through work in the kitchen, it might also mean that not only could we see domesticity from the pair in the future, we'd also see hardships on their end as well as they would be plunged into a poverty state as they run away from everything. Because it would also mean leaving the household behind to fend for themselves. Seungho, who grew up with servants, and Na-Kyum, who grew up well-loved with his sisters, don't know how to do household chores, especially cooking. Na-Kyum did once state that all his life he had done nothing but to paint

So. Kitchen. Warmth. But also workload and domesticity, and a place of potential harm from tools

And notice how Seungho exudes a literal and figurative warmth in this scene. The symbolic melting of the winter snow into blooming spring mirrors the healing of Seungho and Na-Kyum's heart, as the former is now loved, and the latter has now completely realized his folly of falling for a wrong man and seeing him for what In-Hun truly is--a backstabbing, manipulative, sorry excuse for a piece of shit.

But the warmth in this scene also tells something else--a setting sun, a symbol of death.

The fact that the glow of the setting sun shines behind Seungho tells me that danger will fall on him soon

I take this scene as a foreshadowing, that Seungho and Na-Kyum will experience even more hardships, followed by a moment of peace, and then even more hardships 🥹🥹🥹

Verstappen kreeg op sociale media het nodige over zich heen, naar aanleiding van zijn reactie in de richting van George Russell na de sprintrace op zaterdag. „Vooral van Engelse mensen, volgens mij…”, aldus de WK-leider. „Weet je, ik zeg gewoon wat ik denk en blijf dat doen. Als mensen daar problemen mee hebben, dan is dat hun probleem. Toch?”

Verstappen was hit hard on social media after his reaction to George Russell after Saturday's sprint race. “Especially from English people, I think…”, said the World Champioship leader. “You know, I just say what I think and keep doing that. If people have a problem with that, that's their problem. Right?"

First Meet (Chapter 1)

On a Tuesday, Rudra and his friend, Aman, got up early in the morning to leave for Birpur, on a mission to stop one of Tehjawat's men from crossing the border, even if he originally came from their area

"Kya lagta hai Rudra, rok payenge usse?" Aman asks Rudra, to which he glares, and in his usual arrogant tone, claims 

"Tujhe pata hai na, ke koi kaam namumkin nahi hota" Rudra replies, and then adjusts his mustache before reversing his BSD jeep, and resuming their journey

Not long after, their jeep's tire gets punctured, pausing their journey

"Kya baqwaas hai, ye kaisy hua" Rudra annoyedly claims, trying to call someone

"Koi nahi sir, hum yahan par hi koi ride dhundlenge" Aman suggests, locking the jeep and securely placing the keys in Rudra's pocket

Rudra slightly smiles and then they walk towards one of the markets

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the other hand, Paro and Nandini were on a pulling rickshaw (one similar to the one in the Kesari movie) talking about Paro's wedding

"Tu khush toh hai na Paro" Nandu asks, slightly nervous for her

"Are, biya (wedding) hamara hai, aur ghabra tu rahi hai" Paro teases Nandu, but internally, even she felt uneasy

Their ride was stopped when 2 BSD officers stop the driver and ask them for a ride

"Are bhai, pehle hume chod denge, bas thoda aage" Rudra asks, but it sounded more like a demand

"Pehle in do ladkiyon ko chod dun, phir apko bhi chod dunga" The driver said, to which Rudra got angry and asked again, in an angry tone this time

"Kyun, hum pehle se bhete hue hain, hume chorenge bhaisaab pehle, phir apko" Paro jumps in, she hated men like that, especially officers from BSD

Rudra looks at Paro for the first time, their eyes meet, and Rudra angrily looks at her, making her nervous

"Are bhaisaab, itna gussa kyun ho rahe ho, kahan jana hai apko?" The driver asks to which Aman replies that they just have to reach the marketside

"Ye do choriyan (girls) bhi ussi taraf jaa rahi hain, ap saath bhet jaiye, main ap dono ko chod data hun" The driver suggests, but both Rudra and Paro protest against it

"Ni Paro, kyun apne hi per par kulhadi mar rahi hai, bhet jaane de na" Nandu whispers to her, and she reluctantly agrees

On the other hand, Aman whispered to Rudra "Sir, koi baat nahi, waisy bhi Tehjawat kal hi apne admiyon ko bheje ga, agar aj rat tak koi rehne ki jagah nahi mili toh phir kya karenge. Bhet jaate hai, kuch hi der ki hi toh baat hai" Aman suggested, to which Rudra also reluctantly agreed

The four sat uncomfortably on the small pulling rickshaw (Paro and Nandu on the back side, Aman behind the driver, and Rudra in front of Paro); similar to Kesari 

Not long after, Nandu and Paro continued talking about Paro's wedding, the giggled and whispered things to eachother, ignoring the existance of the 2 BSD officers

Their giggles and whispers caught Rudra's attention, and he looked back, annoyed at Paro, who's smile disappeared, and she remained silent for the rest of the ride

Upon reaching the marketplace, Paro and Nandu quickly ran to the 'churri wala' (bangle man), as Paro loved bangles, any type of bangles

Rudra and Aman were about to go do their work, but Rudra stopped

"Aman, ruk, dekhe mujhe lag raha hai ke ye do larkiyan bhi Tehjawat take pohunchne main humari madat kar rakti hain, inpe nazar rakhni padegi, mujhe pata nahi kyun, par lag raha hai ke ye bhi kuch toh jaanti hain" Rudra explained, to which Aman tried to argue back against it, but Rudra didn't listen to him

Me pata nai Kya kar rahi hun

Sometimes it really is easy talking to a stranger compared to someone I know, compared to someone familiar

I sometimes think I’m not built to belong,

to any institution, any job, or any man,

especially any man,

Baaghi rooh ko koi nahi sambhaal sakta,

Na waqt na zamana,

And being pushed into these institutions

makes me feel like I’m no longer being me,

What’s sadder; loss or the anticipation of loss?

Dil per bojh hai aur bojh kee wajah pata nai hai ya Nahi, lekin woh bojh apne hone kee wajah dhoondta rehta hai,

Me sirf Khuda ki zaat say taaluq chahti hun,

Har aik aur cheez aur insaan say taaluq sirf Khuda kee Zaat say taaluq kee wajah say

Ajeeb baat hai,

Me pata nahi kon ban rahi hun,

Kya horaha hai.

The First to Die at the End / Adam Silvera

Het is 10 jaar voor de gebeurtenissen in They Both Die at the End en het is de avond dat Death Cast wordt gelanceerd. Hoe het werkt is strikt geheim en de meningen zijn verdeeld: er zijn mensen die meteen een abonnement hebben genomen, mensen die de kat uit de boom kijken, en mensen die er het ergste van verwachten, tot en met het einde van de wereld aan toe. Orion heeft zich aangemeld; hij heeft een aangeboren hartafwijking, en ziet in Death Cast een bevrijding van de dagelijkse angst dat zijn hart het zal begeven. Valentino is net in New York gearriveerd om een carriere als model na te streven. Hij ontmoet Orion bij het grote startevenement op Times Square en besluit zich ook aan te melden. Ze vinden elkaar meteen leuk. Maar zodra Death Cast begint, rinkelt één van hun telefoons met de speciale beltoon…

"You said that if someone you hold in your heart dies, then you die too. I love my parents so damn much, every time I got to talk about them in the past tense like they're nothing but ghosts instead of the living, breathing, solid people they were, it breaks me." We're minutes from midnight. "Here's the truth no one ever wants to admit when death is on the horizon, or when you're deep in that grief -- as long as you keep existing, you'll keep breathing, and if you're breathing, one day you'll start living again." I know it is stupid, but I swear I can see in his eyes that he gets me, that he's burning those words into memory for that tragic day he loses someone, that he's really taking it to heart. "But no matter how much you're living, Valentino, it's still going to be haunting if you don't get the chance to say goodbye to someone you love. Especially if given the chance." Valentino looks at the hourglass. "I should sign up before it's too late."

Net als het vorige boek balanceert het verhaal delicaat tussen het onvermijdelijke einde van één van de hoofdpersonen en het optimisme van alles wat ze die laatste dag nog meemaken. Pas helemaal op het einde begin je een idee te krijgen van de manier waarop het einde zal komen. In de loop van het verhaal worden personages uit het vorige boek er op een slimme manier ook nog in verweven.

[after-nine-at-the-oasis]

Oop! Ahhh a lawyer :D

Dang I was hoping they'd show us who it is lol, like a case we recognize xD

Ah hello lady :) who are you?

Oh cool ocd :))

Ope in the rain?? Hmm I don't remember this xDD when was it lol

Or maybe it is one we've never seen! Idk lol

OPE LOL she's his lawyer now I guess xDD

Oohhh nooo, "how inexperienced"? I bet she's never had a case before xD

YUP XDD

Well yk like been in court

Uhhh ohhh

Ohh amputated his hand o.o!! Interesting 😳👀👀

Oh there's her name and like a special over layer voice too lol

OHHH WAIT RIGHT

SHE'S THE GOOD LAWYER ISN'T SHE :OOOO

FROM THAT SPINOFF!!!

O H H H

Okay!!!

Ah yeah there's another lady :D

That lady from the beginning

Ope yeah!!! The Good Lawyer :DD

OOFGH THE DRAMA

This is so exciting :DD

OOOFGH I bet this is gonna be good :DDD!!!

Wow!! That's crazy :DD!!

That's the last of my last thoughts, now it's time for the. . .

REVIEW

I loved this episode!! I thought it was great :D. We didn't get much interaction between the cases, but to be fair, we usually don't lol :D. We did get a bit though, so that's always nice :)). But the little group scenes we did get were really great :D. Plus some duos we don't always see - ESPECIALLY considering some (one - person/duo) of them haven't been here for 5 seasons XD. It was great having Kalu back lol, and I really liked all of the storylines :). And, slightly different in this case (just by my meaning), the patients were cool too :). When I said storylines a second ago I was talking about the characters' personal storylines, but I'm not always/usually doing that lol. Anyway, great episode!! Really sad for that one plot though DD':. Still, great (not exactly despite that bc it was great too lol but yk :) ).

Now, time for the individual parts!!

Quick bit: Jerome 🥰🥰, love you hun, miss you 😭 <33, excited to see you again soon :)) (hopefully xD). And also nothing better happen to him and Asher lol.

Lim! We didn't see much of her this episode, but she was great for what she was in :DD. I'm so sorry she had to go through that when she was younger <33. And then at the end, she hired Kalu :DD!! And was smart about it too lol :)), finding him a spot. Then of course, her scene eitht he girls at the end :')). Well not Lea but yk lol. Them all having dinner together was so cute 😭😭❤️, AND supporting Morgan? We love to see it 🥰🥰🥰 :')). Them :'DD. But yeah, Lim specifically offering to do it :'). Not that Jordan wouldn't, but this is a section about Lim lol. Also, we didn't see Lim do much of her job medicine wise like hands on, but she helped with Morgan and Jordan's case and she hired Kalu lol, so, she was as always amazing at her job :). Anyway, she's great, love her :DD.

Perez :). Another person we didn't see much, but again, he was great for what we did :)). Did his job well, and seeing him try to help Park out a little while also kind of being deer in the headlights sometimes lol was sweet :). Also him trying to guess who Joe was to Park XDDD. Hilarious lol, I love him <333. But yeah, he was amazing this episode 🥰🥰. I hope the NA is working out for him btw :'D.

Andrews! Too bad he didn't get the donation xD. But lol, he was great this episode. Honestly, I think his level of anger level at Kalu was pretty good - it's been years, lol, he's at least partially over it xD. But I'm glad they could still work together :). And of course, Andrews was great at his job this episode 🥰. I'm definitely excited to see how it goes in the future with him since Kalu's around! Like I said, I think where he was at was good, but I do think they should talk at some point. Also, by the way, I started this paragraph on Sunday (Monday morning?), so it may be a bit short from here on out lol - I'm on a time crunch xD. Anyway! I love him ❤️❤️.

Glassman :)). I'm really glad he could be there for Lea :'DD. He helped her feel better about herself, and her fears, and he found her a way to keep a bit of her 'old' life :')). Amazing 😭😭❤️. Also, again, I love me some Maddie stories :')). The amount of we've been getting lately is just lovely :DD. - wait. Glassman better not die any time soon xD. Anyway, I really loved his scenes with Lea, they were so cute and sweet :'DD. And I'm sure he was great at his job this episode lol - I don't think we saw it xD. But, nonetheless :). He was great :)). I love him <333.

Morgan! I felt so bad for her this episode :'((. Seeing that look the others gave her when they were talking about having an abortion? 😭. But also, seeing them support her at the end of the episode was so :'))). I love them all so much <333. Anyway, Morgan was great at her job this week :'D. It was definitely a tough one, but they all got through it <33. Also, Morgan's conversation with Park was a slay moment xD. I love her :') ❤️❤️.

Asher! Again my man with his tea-seeking tendencies lol xD. But, even though we didn't see too much of him this episode, he was great in what we did see :). He was great at his job, obviously, but it was also fun seeing someone interact with Kalu who never knew him :D! But also. Not that I don't trust Asher. But he better not like Kalu 😒. Or at least not for long and obviously not do anything about it. I trust Asher, I don't trust the writers xD. He better have been just looking for tea lol. Anyway, he was great, and funny as per usual lol xD. I love him 🥰🥰.

Jordan :)). Her case was so sad this episode :'((. I mean obviously it was Morgan's too but yk lol. I'm glad they honored her wishes and tried to save the baby, but I'm also glad they eventually convinced her to let her go. Jordan's conversation with her was so 😭😭. Just, heartbreaking </33. But I'm so glad she managed to do it <3. No one deserves to be put in that situation (the patient I mean, but also them as doctors), but they went through the whole thing with respect and grace. Also I loved them all being there and supporting her for the baptism :'). And of course, that ending scene with the girls was great <33. So yeah :D. Jordan was amazing at her job this episode 🥰🥰. I love her <33.

Shaun! It was really nice seeing him try to help Lea :)). I am glad they found a compromise :D. Also, it was super cool seeing him interact with Kalu again!! I'm interested to be seeing more of that in the future :DD. Anyway, yeah, Shaun was great this episode 🥰🥰. He was of course amazing at his job. Speaking of, I'm SUPER interested in how everything's going to go down next week! I believe this is the introduction (based on context, and just that I don't think it's already running lol) of The Good Lawyer, and it'll certainly be cool :D. But I say speaking of because of the malpractice suit - that's gonna be interesting to sort out!! Anyway, it looks really good :D. But yeah! I love him ❤️❤️❤️.

Lea :)! I'm really happy she managed to find a compromise :D. Kind of, keep a piece of her "old life" with her :')). And her scenes with Glassman were so cute 😭😭. But I just think it was really nice with showing a) that you can have mixed feelings, and b) that just because you have kids does not mean you have to change every bit of your life completely and never look back. You can still have your identity :)). Anyway, I'm super glad she got her cool car 🥰🥰. And I'm sure she was great at her job this episode, lol. I love her :DDD.

Park! I don't always go in importance/plot/idk significance to me order, but I decided to put him at the end in vaguely that (ish) :). Not often he goes last! Cool :)). Anyways, I loved him this episode!! It's not often we get to see Park ANGRY (and I use caps for emphasis), but we did this episode and it was super cool :)). Like, that boxing scene? OOGH, the drama!!! Anyway, he was awesome :DD. He was also great at his job :))! And honestly, for his sake, I'm glad he managed to forgive Joe :'). He deserved that <33. I just think it helped him gain some peace 🥰🥰. Also his conversation with Morgan was great :)). He really did need somebody who wasn't afraid to say anything lol. But, yeah <33. I love him ❤️❤️🥰.

Overall, I really enjoyed this episode! I thought it was great :D. The cases were cool and interesting, and there was an abundance of great character moments!! A bunch of emotions swirling around, but also some funny bits :D! And a pretty evenly spread focus, for the most part. And of course, this episode seems like it'll be pretty influential! Kalu is coming back to St Bon's :DD!! That's big news!! I think it'll be really cool having him back 🥰🥰. Looks like I'll have to start doing a Kalu section, lol! I would say again, but it'll be for the first time since I wasn't liveblogging back then xD. And I didn't watch it live anyway, I think I started in 2019 or 2020 lol. Anyway! Still, it'll be super interesting to see ehow everything works out :DD. Like, how it all ends up being from now on. Idk if he's gonna stay around, but it's cool for now! I'm really excited to see what happens :D. And, of course, for the introduction of The Good Lawyer!!! It looks awesome :DD. The episode, and the show/character/concept (both I guess?) as a whole :)). Super excited for that too 🥰🥰. But, back to now, this episode had a ton of great moments. And it was really good in general, not just in moments :)).

So yeah! I loved this episode, I thought it was really great. I'm definitely excited for the next one! This has been my review of. . .

The Good Doctor, Season 6, Episode 15: Old Friends

I really enjoyed it! I'm nervous for the next one, but I'm super excited as well. I'll be back next week with my review of. . .

Review: The Penthouse: War on Life (Season 1) (2020)

The makjang that taught me I could like makjangs...me!

Synopsis

Hera Palace is a luxury apartment building designed for the wealthy, by the wealthy, to be an elegant safe haven. Sim Su-Ryeon and her husband Ju Dan-Tae live in the penthouse, the pinnacle of wealth and success. Cheon Seo-Jin and her husband Ha Yun-Cheol live a few floors below, where Seo-Jin covets the position of the "Penthouse Queen". Outside of the Palace is Oh Yun-Hui, a poorer former classmate and rival of Seo-Jin's. Their paths cross again as the families' children apply to the premier Cheong-Ah Arts School, run by Seo-Jin’s family. The parents will stop at nothing to ensure their child(ren) attend(s) the school.

Su-Ryeon, the queen of the penthouse apartment, soon discovers a secret that tears her world apart and vows revenge, just as Yun-Hui does everything she can to guarantee her daughter achieves what she wanted and more.

AC Overall: 9.5/10, clicked for the hype, don't regret ANYTHING

I was intrigued by the dark and glamorous poster on Viki for Penthouse 2, and then like ~magic~ (or by silicon valley’s graceful listening devices and tracking systems) it would pop up randomly, and my “For You” page on TikTok became a kdrama recommendation hub (possibly for other reasons too, that shall not be mentioned), with Penthouse (tied with Vicenzo) being the most recommended. So I caved. I didn’t really know what I was getting into, but I knew it would be a departure from my newfound gems (slice-of-life dramas) and my og diamonds-a-dozen (rich-man-poor-woman-who-have-met-in-childhood-but-forgot-and/or-are-forced-together-with-a-sprinkle-of-trauma), but I didn’t expect THIS. A MESS of a drama that reminded me of the telenovelas I watched in high school for Spanish class. 

My emotions ranged from shock and surprised that so many bombs were dropped so quickly (spoiler alert: someone dies within the first few minutes of ep 1) to disgust at the things the characters would do to each other (and themselves tbh), to awe at the way the plot just kept. on. thickening. It had been a while since I had been so enthralled by a drama. It’s so ridiculous it’s fascinating. Wild facial expressions, screaming contests and bitch-slaps galore, this drama has everything I didn’t know I wanted. So without revealing too much, I suggest you stop reading rn (unless you’ve seen it) and give it a shot if you don’t mind a little violence and lots of screaming. You never know, you might surprise yourself and like it too. And it’s best watched not knowing anything. I will warn, though, that to enjoy it, it’s best to keep in mind that it’s overdramatized. Don’t take it too seriously.

AC Review (Lots of spoilers)

Again. Read if you dare. And buckle in, because this is a whole essay:

So, lets start with how amazing the cast was. From Seo-Jin’s twitching red lip to her daughter Eun-Byeol’s crazy wild eyes (I really had to look away when she was on screen most of the time, it was a bit much tbh) to Yun-Hui and her Ro-Na’s screaming matches, the actors and actresses brought everything (and in Seok-Hun’s case, consistently nothing) to the set. Kudos to them. They did that.

That being said, though, it also made the first few episodes really hard to watch. Bullying is a tough for me to watch on screen in general, especially with how it’s portrayed in kdramas. True Beauty is another recent kdrama that stood out with the bullying scenes in the first few eps too; it seems kdramas bring it to another level that makes it especially hard to swallow. So that, paired with it being a makjang, made the bullying of Min Seol-Ah by the Hera Privileged really intense?! Grown-ass adults AND their children?! The ABUSE! There were so many moments during the bullying scenes that I was thinking “I can’t watch this. This is so bad”. I’d look away when the kids would interact with Seol-Ah, and I came very very close to stopping the show altogether because of how harsh they were, and still cringe at the thought of it. But the parents’ storylines kept me in, and the harshness of the bullying made the revenge arc have that much more of an impact too. [Still, I really wanna know what the hell all that is about. I know about Han and the often violent themes of a lot of (popular in the US and/or my circles) Korean movies and stuff but, it would be interesting to know more. Why does it seem that much more violent than what I’m used to seeing in American and British shows? Food for thought...or maybe it’s just me.]

Anyhow, back to lighter things. The side parents, especially Lee Gyu-Jin, the not-so-sharp lawyer and momma’s boy, were hilarious most of the time and a good comic relief from the drama surrounding the main three families. And of all people, he was the one to figure out Seo-Jin and Dan-Tae’s affair? Wild. Kang Ma-Ri, the mom whose husband is “in Dubai” i.e. prison, and works secretly as a masseuse/exfoliating lady at a sauna, seems to have an interesting story that I really hope gets expanded upon in later seasons, being that she’s able to maintain wealth and keep up the charade. Still, them and their children were god-awful, also torturing Min Seol-Ah and later Ro-Na, though not as intensely. 

Speaking of Ro-Na, I was not a fan of hers at all. In the beginning she read as a brat who didn’t understand, or want to understand, where her mom was coming from when she said she shouldn’t sing, and was disrespectful at so many moments. Screaming in her face and all that. If I ever did that to my mom...But by the time she got to Cheong-Ah and was also harshly bullied (though not as badly or life-threateningly as Seol-Ah), I did feel some sympathy for her because no one should have to go through that. And from the teachers too? Ughhh. Which is why I was sooo happy when Gu Ho-Dong the PE teacher showed up and attempted to punish the bullies, and even the moms.

Su-Ryeon was pretty much the only redeemable character for me. She had good intentions throughout, and had remorse for not being able to take care of Seol-Ah despite her ignorance of the body-switch and bullying. Even Yun-Hui got a second chance with her at the end, despite being Seol-Ah’s ultimate killer. Yun-Hui seemed like she’d be redeemable at first, but she ended up just like the others in her willingness to forgo morals in order to get what she wanted, which...became muddled. At first her motivation was giving Ro-Na the life she couldn’t live because of Seo-Jin, but then once she got into Hera she exposed herself as also consumed by personal greed and even coveted the Penthouse Queen position despite Su-Ryeon’s kindness toward her. She was not as bad as the other parents but showed her “true colors”, especially towards the end of the season. Her hooking up with Dan-Tae made me sick. She and Seo-Jin became two sides of the same coin. All things (wealth) aside, had it been Yun-Hui slicing Seo-Jin, basically the same shit would’ve happened. I rest my case.

The whole Logan Lee thing was nice, and effective, but near the end he and Su-Ryeon were giving away their identities a little too soon imo. Su-Ryeon’s first mistake was revealing herself when she trapped the parents; it was so unnecessary, and I felt like from then on sooo many mistakes were made that ultimately led to her death. But, until the very end she cared about her step children despite how harsh they were towards her. Which is why she remained my favorite character. 

I could go on and on and on about all of the things that happened throughout the season, but overall I thoroughly enjoyed the rollercoaster Penthouse had me on! I’m usually not into overacting but for whatever reason this show’s ridiculous situation + overacting combo made sense to me.

P.S.: Dr. Ha was my second favorite character, probably because he was so level-headed and although he was involved in the mess, he was much less central to it. And had the sense to get a psychiatrist to check Eun-Byeol out. Although, it did have me wondering...where were you for the past 15 years or so of her life, when she was developing this way?? sIR

[theoptimisticpessimisticgabriel]

hi, kuya grei! i hope you're doing well. i just wanna ask, what will u do if u knew u made someone sad this year?

hi, anon! I'm okay i guess; I'm working atm, but still can answer some questions 😁.

so here's the thing, we can't undo what's been said and done; we can't control the things that have already happened. we made someone sad this year, intentionally or not and we can't change that. and tho' we can always say na "babawi ako" to a person, we really can't, especially if the person we've done wrong don't want to.

maybe i'll just tell that person how sorry i am for making him/her really sad this year. I'll tell them like i really mean it, not just for the sake of telling it. if that person accepts my apology and will still welcome me into his/her life this coming 2023, then good for me hun! and then I'll try so hard not to make the same mistakes that i've made this year 😬.

Apesar de ter muitas coisas bem resolvidas dentro de si, quem conhecia Pietra sabia que o abandono de seu pai tinha um impacto grande em sua vida. Não era 'órfã' de apenas um dos pais, mas sim dos dois e por opção! Isso a fez o sentimento de não pertencimento correr pelas entranhas dela em todos os sentidos, em especial a vontade de sair daquela cidade e conquistar sua independência por meio da única coisa que fazia bem: cuidar dos outros. "E você hun? O que gostaria de ser? Já disse que poderia morar comigo lá em Nova Roma se quisesse estudar ou sei lá" tentou novamente. Ah, se tudo o que queria se tornasse real. Desde sempre Pietra ansiava por estar com os seus, ter uma família, que mesmo toda da complicada, tinha escolhido ficar. Mas a realidade era outra, todos tinham suas vidas... E isso não era ruim, só que ela precisava de um pouco mais de dedicação para se manter na vida de quem amava. "Casamento ainda vai demorar, mas pode ter certeza que vamos dar uma passadinha lá. Já aviso que vai ser no verão, se eu to com frio aqui imagina no inverno russo" mais friorenta que Pietra estava longe de se ter naquele acampamento, sempre com um casaquinho e botinhas... Ela sentia falta daqueles momentos amenos com a irmã, mas novamente o assunto dos deuses entremeava a paz das divagações. A conselheira preferiu se calar naquele primeiro momento terminando de organizar as coisas da mais velha "Eu sei..." murmurou baixinho sem coragem de olhá-la por saber que a sua carinha iria lhe denunciar. "Não te culpo por tentar melhorar White, só..." ela precisou parar e sentar ao lado da irmã, sabendo o quão delicado era aquele momento que ela tava passando "Mesmo que esteja longe eu quero que você fique bem. Não se preocupe com a gente tá? A gente entende e quem não entender vai entender do meu mesmo jeito." ela riu sem humor. Fazia tempo que elas não eram as mesmas, o brilho de Nathalia se apagara com as coisas que Hécate tinha feito e o de Pietra ao ver seus irmãos e amigos sofrerem, inerte e vulnerável a ação da deusa, que um dia acreditou... "Só me promete que vai voltar? Não para cá, isso daqui é só um lugar, mas voltar a ficar bem sabe? Comigo... Com o pessoal... Sinto falta até de você fugindo das aulas de magia e reclamando dos meus chás... Nunca te perguntei, mas são assim tão ruins?"

Natalia sentia uma certa inveja. Não a inveja ruim, mas aquela que faz desejar experimentar um pouco do que a irmã descrevia. Refletindo sobre o assunto, se não fosse a fazenda na pequena cidade interiorana da Rússia, Natalia não saberia o que fazer. Não tinha habilidades profissionais nem uma visão clara do próprio futuro. O que poderia fazer que não envolvesse diretamente os deuses? Estava presa há tempo demais, apegando-se àquela vida sem considerar outras opções... Será que ainda tinha tempo? Bom, por ora, só podia pensar em se manter viva. As possibilidades poderiam surgir depois que estivesse a quilômetros de distância daquele lugar. "Faculdade é uma ótima opção. Lembro de como você falava sobre seus estudos. Tenho certeza de que você se tornará uma excelente médica, Pietra." Sorriu, enquanto voltava a mexer nas roupas, agora colocando algumas peças dentro de uma pequena mochila deixada ao lado da cama. "É bom saber que há alguém nos seus planos para o futuro, maninha. O Aslan é um fofo, e vocês formam um belo casal. Não se esqueça de me convidar para o casamento, hm! Na ida para a Turquia, vocês até poderão me visitar. É quase no caminho." Tentou soar animada, balançando os braços em comemoração. "Não sei quanto aos deuses, mas é difícil imaginar um futuro sem que eles tentem interferir. Você sabe como são. Se conseguem causar caos no lugar que deveria ser nosso porto seguro... Imagine entre os humanos." Ao pensar no pai, Natalia ficava apreensiva. Poderia protegê-lo, mas até quando? A deusa tinha inimigos que não hesitariam em persegui-la para atingir Hécate, embora isso fosse impensável; era claro, após os últimos eventos, que Hécate não se importava com ninguém. Natalia poderia se perder em tais pensamentos, ponderando se deveria verbalizá-los ou não, mas a última pergunta de Pietra capturou sua atenção. Tinha demorado, mas finalmente havia sido percebida. A arrumação tinha um propósito, que talvez não agradasse a mais nova. "Não ficarei aqui por alguns dias. Preciso de um tempo para pensar, e não conseguirei fazer isso aqui. Nada contra vocês, é claro." Inspirando profundamente, Natalia parou o que estava fazendo, deixando os ombros caírem, a atenção voltada para os próprios pés. "Este lugar me traz lembranças terríveis. Você sabe disso. Preciso de um tempo, uma extensão do que tivemos na ilha de Circe, mas aqui. Estou sobrecarregada, e mesmo que fugir não seja uma solução, não consigo ver isso mudando enquanto estou aqui."

Jealousy

(CTTRO: @YHURI ANGELA REYES)

orginal writer/author : @kedreyuri 💖

Yandere Shirabu Kenjirou x Fem reader

GENRE : YANDERE / ANGST / TOXIC <

ONESHOT <

"Who's this Echizen Sukira"

You flinched as Shirabu, your boyfriend asked monotone as he examined the phone's contact number.

"Sh-she's my co-worker at the office.."

He raised a brow not convinced on your statement.

"How would I know if this 'Echizen Sukira' is really a 'She'?"

"C-can't you tell by the name? She has a girl's na-"

Shirabu slammed his hand on the table you two are sitting on.

"Nonesense, Do you know where you are? This is Japan! This is Tokyo! Many of japanese men in here has a girl's name!"

You couldn't do anything but listen.

He scolded you for a while before muting himself to scroll further down on your phone's contact.

"I'm deleting it."

That Echizen Sukira is really your lady co-worker. But Shirabu just doesn't believe any of what you said especially if it's about you.

He handed your phone and locked himself in his room.

'Maybe he's studying medical Doctor's book again'

You thought in relief you'd be able to avoid your boyfriend even for a while.

He was just a middle school crush of yours.

You confessed to him and with your surprise he felt the same way about you.

However as days went by, his true personality is leaking slowly.

How he became overprotective

How he avoid you to people who can you steal your attention away from him, specially to a guy.

How he seize almost everything that makes you happy.

How he can be possessive at times when he's jealous. Or maybe even become violent when he reached his limits.

This relationship is Toxic. You wanted to end it but Shirabu never agrees but he just gives you punishments in return.

"Mine"

Lingers in your ear, as you heard him banging his things inside his room.

He's on rampage.

'Fuck'

He's mad.

But after minutes later he stopped.

That moment you took a peak at your phone seeing all your saved numbers from people close to you including your friend, workers, former colleagues and more are completely swiped deleted.

Only one number saved.

'Kenjirou♡'

His number was left.

You felt your eyes gets blurry but quickly brushed it off when you heard a door creak coming from his room.

You sniffed and hid your phone on the sofa's hand.

"From now on, my number is the only one allowed to be saved from your device. Remember that Y/N."

He said without hesitation

Which you replied with

"O-okay.. sure"

You were too scared of what he might do to you when you disobeyed him.

So you've got no choice but to follow.

"Come here."

He reached out his long arms for you.

With a wide smile. One of the reason you've fell for him.

You want to run and hug him tight and just cry it all out.

But he was the reason why you're so afraid.

"Don't make me repeat myself."

With that you're in his arms nuzzling deep onto his chest.

He tucked at the back if your ear the strands of hair blocking from your face.

He cupped your cheek and lifted it for you to face him.

He smiled.

"Look me in the eye you know, I love you.. right?"

That sentence made you wanna laugh at his face.

'Love? This is not how you show your love! This is abuse Kenjirou! You're doing all of this against my will!'

You wanted to shout it at him

But afraid of the punishment you'll face.

"I- I love you too"

~~~

In the morning you too had to go to work.

Him as a Doctor.

You as a Regular worker at a development building.

"I'll see you later, hun"

He kissed your forehead before leaving.

You felt sad you weren't with him, you wish you two worked together.

That's a lie. A fucking lie.

You were so happy when he wasn't around, feels like you can freely play at the playground without any rules to obey.

You dressed up as well and headed to work.

Hours later,

After finishing the papers assigned to you.

Again you felt tired. But not because of the job you had.

Because again you'll deal with Shirabu.

You really wish you could stay here for long. Just don't go home again with him.

You closed your eyes for a good rest but was disturbed when your phone vibrates.

▪Message from: Kenjirou♡

~°•You're done with work right? I'll pick you up. Be there in minute.•°

-----------

You sighed heavily and head outside to wait for your boyfriend.

But not so far on waiting you heard a familiar voice afar.

"Isn't that Y/N-san?

Y/N-san Hisashiburi! (Long time no see)"

You tilted your head to the side seeing Semi Eita your former schoolmate back in Shiratorizawa High.

You waved your hand and he greeted you with a tight hug, exclaiming he was so happy to see you again.

But as soon as he hugged you, you broke apart without your consent.

By grabbing your wirst fimrly

"K-kenjirou..!?"

You looked at your back seeing Shirabu in a white gown with used white glove on his lower pocket on the side.

He's face was dull mad.

Incredibly but you know he's still hilding back.

He shoot Semi a death glare when the ashen blonde grabbed your other wrist.

"Hey no fair Shirabu, I know yoy're her boyfriend but can't you atleast me catch up with her?"

"With what?"

Shirabu answered bluntly as he turned to face him.

"About things since she left colledge. You've been with her ever since because you're her boyfriend. You knew what happened and I'm curious so I'd like to catch up, come on shirabu! Don't be selfish!"

Semi whined as he kept pulling you near him.

"If you knew that I'm her boyfriend then why don't you let go? It's very inappropriate to held a girl's hand without her boyfriend's consent"

Semi raised a brow at his former teammate.

And let out a nervous chuckle still not letting go.

"What's wrong with you Shirabu? It's not like I'd do anything to her-"

"Shut up! Why can't you understand that you can't touch her?! Why don't you get the fact that I'm getting uneasy with you two alone?! You won't do anything? Well guess what, I don't trust you!"

Semi was shocked at Shirabu's loud and angry statement.

He unknownly let go of your wrist and laughed.

Making Shirabu more irritated.

"Pff.. so that's how you are, when you're jealous Shirabu"

Your boyfriend was urging to punch the ashen blonde but you pulled him hugging his arm and pleading to let it slide.

The rage on his eyes, melted down as he saw how scared you were.

He clicked his tongue before turning back

And dragging you along.

~~~

"K-kenjirou! Pl-please don't do this!!"

You screamed in a frightening tone as you stepped back hitting you back at the flat corner of the kitchen.

Shirabu, was approaching you slowly with a scalpel on his hand.

Suggesting he should carve his name on you to let everyone know you're his.

You feel down on your knees as kept backing away even tho you're stuck at the same position.

You still didn't stop begging him to let it go.

You're boyfriend was hard to convince.

He roughly grabbed you by your elbow and lift you up to his reach.

He pinned you against the wall by setting his knee in between your thighs.

His face was merciless, you knew you couldn't escape but never stop begging him.

He scanned your body before removing his gown on the way.

He left the blue T-shirt and blue sweatpants on his body.

He eyed your left wrist that was held by Semi earlier.

He grinned wickedly

"Ah, I should sign that wrist.. ut was held by a filthy hand earlier"

He grabbed it and leaned closer to his touch.

He started to carve the first letter.

K

You bit your tongue as the sharp scalpel were trailing to your wrist, holding you scream.

E

You shed tears as he kept scribbling his name. You were starting to let out a painful whimper and squirms.

N

You couldn't hold it any longer so you opened your mouth wide and screamed as if your life really depends on it.

J

You're starting to pull your wrist away but Shirabu would only deepen the scalpel making it bleed and hurt more.

I

You danced in pain as he mercilessly continued.

R

His name was really quite long so you tried again to pull but he narrowed his hand making his grip tighter to bled more.

O

You shouted cries, wince, and words at him like

"I'm so sorry! Kenjirou! Please! S-stop!"

"I'll never do it again! Please j-just stop!"

But neither of those he listened.

U

At the last letter finally you thought was over he thrust the scalpel deeper an inch away to your pulse, making scream louder than ever.

He never scratched any veins nor touch your pulse. He knew you'd die which he never wants to happen. Just a punishment.

You gasped for air rapidly as he stared at his work. Proud.

He smirked looking at his bloodied name carved on your sensitive skin.

He put the little knife away and carried you bridal style.

He gently kissed your forehead as you just cry in pain.

"I'm sorry hun, but it's also your fault.

I know it hurts but bear with it."

"I-I thought I was gonna die Kenjirou..!"

You have no more energy to shout more.

So it came out in your mouth like a weak puppy.

"Don't worry I won't kill you.

Look me in the eye, you know I love you.. right?"

You lift your head up wearily and stared at his eyes.

His dull brown eyes that is full with painful love.

There's something wrong with Manager Kim YN part 29

I'm not a fan

When the door swung open that evening, Yoongi wasn't prepared to see YN waltz into the lounge in a dress that should never have left her bedroom.

"What the—" he managed under his breath as Ari went off in search of more colouring paper.

"What are you doing here?"

"Where are you going like that?"

They both muted having asked each other simultaneously.

"Ari, be a good girl for Uncle Jin," she kissed her head, grabbed her handbag and headed off.

"Mama you didn't kiss Dad bye."

Yoongi chuckled at the little girl's words. He would definitely give her an allowance now. That's what you did with kids right?

YN looked at Ari, "Mama's kisses aren't for your Dad hun." She grabbed her phone.

"You look really um, wow" he said.

"Thanks...Bye Yoongo." She answered reluctantly as she disappeared shortly after, and they heard the front door close in the distance.

"Sweetie, where did your Mama go?"

Ari carried on drawing around Yoongi's hand. "Mama's gone out with Bambam."

"Bambam?" he asked. "Uncle Jackson's friend?"

"Yep."

"Interesting." He watched the front door for a moment.

YN laughed as she saw Bambam, covering her mouth.

"Hey" he said leaning on his car, sunglasses on trying to look cool. "How's it going?"

"Dork," she shook her head and they met with laughter. 

"How's Ari?" he asked as he drove through the courtyard and back out through the entrance.

"She's good. She's having pizza night with Jin and Yoongi probably."

"Yoongi?" he looked at her.

"What do you mean Yoongi?"

"Jackson said you were married to a guy, then when you went back with him you didn't mention his name, and I guess he's her dad?"

She looked him dead in the eye, "Yes."

Bambam tried to lighten the mood, "we love her all the same, she's definitely gone on her mom."

He gave her a smile and a wink.

**

Yoongi looked at Jin as they sat on the sofa Ari between them watching Frozen. 

"So YN and Bambam.." he asked.

"Yeah.." Jin chuckled, he knew where this was going, he threw some popcorn into his mouth.

"What's their deal?"

"They met out in New York. I remembered her saying he went to a fashion show of hers and at some point she was over in Thailand when he was performing there..they hit it off I suppose."

"So they're dating then?"

"OK it's awkward talking to you about her love life. Just ask her." Jin took a swig of his beer.

Yoongi didn't say anything for a bit, "He seems to know Ari well.."

"They've known each other a while." Jin waited for a response, hiding a smirk once he got a reaction out of him.

"Yeah, I'm not a fan," Yoongi huffed.

**

Yoongi lay in bed, tossing and turning as he lay awake thinking of YN.

He remembered her body, the taste of her lips, her skin; each etch and groove and he had never experienced anything like that union of two bodies ever again.

Their souls had fused together; his heart taken and he had never felt the same ever again. Until he saw her again.

He sighed, sitting up to hold his head. Yoongi hated this. He would miss her most nights, but especially the sleepless ones. He would lay there, knowing Ha-Na was in his life but that spark, it wasn't there unless he thought of YN. He refused to admit it, but on many occasions he had even fantasised about her.

Imagining the two of them walking down by the river, or impressing her with new music he had been working on.

Yoongi sighed deeply. Even after all this time he still wondered why he just couldn't move on.

YN had moved on, apparently with Bambam, and it ate him up inside. He growled loudly.

"I should have left after dropping Ari home," he rubbed his eyes, "should never have stayed long enough to see that damn dress," he mumbled to himself.

Knowing what she was wearing, how she did her hair or which lipstick was on her plump lips drove him insane. All he could think about was whether Bambam had kissed her or not, if he could make her happier.

He felt the dread creep into his heart, the anger start to boil. He stood breathing fast, he was jealous. Scratch that he was beyond jealous. He felt possessive.

This should have been his family set up, but now it was Bambam who would be there, and not him.

He looked up at the sky one last time, the moon shining so brightly through the frosty window, his eyes moist with tears. He couldn't believe that he had missed his chance, he refused to.

**

YN poured another glass of wine and sat out in the garden starring up at the night sky. Bambam made her smile, he was funny and adored Ari. She chuckled at the ways in which he had made her laugh tonight when they arrived back from their evening gala.

The laughs gave way to melancholy as she sighed and drank deeply from her glass. Seeing Yoongi was difficult, he had gotten even bigger which she had thought was impossible, stronger physically but the way his soul searched for hers hadn't changed.

He had tattooed himself to her heart the night they made Ari, and no matter how much she wanted to give herself, her heart to someone; anyone else.. no one could compare to him.

"That pasty good for nothing, with that - gorgeous long hair and sexy hands," she cursed out loud.

He'd branded her and it was permanent, he'd given her the most wonderful gift in Ari and for that alone she couldn't turn her back on him. She'd tried for 3 years but had failed miserably; no matter how hard she pushed away, the universe pulled her just as tightly back to where she left off.

She wiped a fallen tear, and looked at the moon, no matter how hard she tried, everything came back to him. "You ruined everything. I was doing fine. But now..."

*

Jimin sighed moving away from Yoongi's door and tiptoed quickly back to his room, closing the door silently.

"Jin hyung," he started, paranoid he was going to get caught for spying.

"Ya, why are you calling this late?"

"Why am I calling? You're the one that said we should help them get back together."

"Ok, well, couldn't this wait til the morning?"

"Hyung, every night he does this. He doesn't sleep, sits talking to the window and then looks so withdrawn during the day. It's so sad it breaks my heart."

"He's not drinking like before is he?" Jin padded down the stairs, spotting YN outside also nursing a drink.

"No, we'd know if he was back to that. I don't care what anyone says, YNnie leaving broke us all. But him, I feel bad the way we cut him out. But he wouldn't tell us why she left."

"I know," Jin admitted sadly, "But there's nothing we can do to change the past, but we can help them the best we can."

"He's been swearing about GOT7 soon as he got in, what's that about?"

Jin couldn't help but chuckle. "The shit is jealous of BamBam. He and YN went out to a gala thing, and I may have forgotten to tell him that there were lots of other people there.."

"Hyung!" Jimin scolded, "no wonder he is so upset!"

"Chill your pants. We'll think of something. Get the boys together." Jin hung up and joined her in the garden.

"YN," he looked around for a chair.

"Hmm?" she looked up at him. "Dude you need new PJ's. I swear you got some for Christmas."

Jin gave her a grin.

"I'm embarrassed for you."

Jin patted down his old but comfy shirt. "It's comfortable," he defended as he pointed a slipper at her. "Enough staring at the sky dramatically. It's late, go to bed."

YN tried to not take the piss when she could see he was trying to be brotherly.

"Fine," she finally lamented. "Let me just take the rubbish out. I keep forgetting."

Jin nodded, locking the garden doors. "Yeah you do that, it's your turn."

YN dragged the wheelie bin down the driveway and left it by the kerb. She looked down the street past a set of cars…and froze.

YN was absolutely sure that the car she had seen in the parking garage regularly, was now parked halfway down the block with a man sitting in it. As soon as he could, he pulled out and turned at the corner, moving away from her, but she was positive this time it was the same car and the same man.

"What is it?"

YN shook her head and sighed as she locked the front door.

"I know mom is happy we're both back here, but she's taking it too far."

"What you mean? What could she possibly do from home? The doctors said she needs to stay out the cold to get over the pnemonia," he said getting up from the bottom step.

"Seokjin, I swear she's having me followed. I remember there being someone ages ago. And lately whenever I get in the car, or wherever I am. I swear I've seen that same dark car following me."

"I'm sure it's nothing. But, I'll ask her tomorrow," he told her, squeezing her shoulder in reassurance.

YN stormed into her mother's living room as the housekeeper disappeared after letting her in.

"YN what a pleasant surprise," Mrs Bang looked over her tea cup.

"Ma, I don't have time for niceties."

She set the cup down gently. "You didn't say much when you shouted down the phone about something, but I couldn't get discipher it."

Her mother held her hands in her lap and looked back at YN as she refused to sit, and stood.

"What have I done wrong this time?" Mrs Bang asked.

"We already apologised to Yoongi and I understand how awful I've been to the two of you before you left. But I'm so grateful you came back, and Ari too. I won't interfere again."

YN looked back at her cautiously.

"Your brother already explained how much you love him, and that Yoongi genuinely loves you both back. Who are we to stand in the way of your happiness," tears began to fall down her cheeks as she dabbed her eyes with a handkerchief.

YN was stunned as she watched her mother cry and couldn't help but feel guilty.

“I don’t know how things got this bad. There’s nothing I can say to make this right. But, I can see that you and Yoongi love each other,” she continued.

"I don't, I mean I do, but it's not that straightforward," YN mumbled.

"Well I caught your heart eyes for him when Ari mentioned she had spent time with him.. Jin also said that he's really quite the father."

YN burst with happiness inside when her mother spoke of YN’s love for him.

Now if only I could figure out if he means what he says for real.

More than anything, deep down she wanted to see if they could share a life together.

“It’s all right,” she started to say, but her mother cut her off.

“No, it’s not, YN,” she said firmly again, with a shake of her head. “I know that now. I want you to know I’m going to get help with this. I got so lost in my head when you stopped listening and didn't want to come back. That I’ve been angry and hateful ever since. It was like a poison washing over me. And I let it change the way I saw you and everyone around me. Jin and your fatherbtried to tell me so many times but I never listened. I never saw how much my hatred and anger was hurting all of you, because I never wanted to see it."

YN watched her cautiously while she continued, wishing to believe that she could have a mother that supported her just like how everyone else around her had one.

“I know it’s taken time to earn back your trust, and I won’t ever be able to make everything up to you, but I’m going to try.”

YN laughed and came around the table to hug her mother, and hoped that this truly was a genuine change for her and a chance for her to have her old mom back.

“But, I do expect invitations to dinner from time to time. And, Yoongi should come too. And Ari. I don’t see my own granddaughter often enough,” she insisted.

“Does this mean you’ll call off your private investigator? He's been following me and Yoongi for ages," YN asked and she laughed, relieved to be able to put all of this behind them.

Mrs Bang pulled out of her arms and looked at her quizzically. “I didn’t hire an investigator, dear,” she said.

"Eles o que? Tinder? Liiiiiam!" choramingou deixando os ombros caírem como se estivesse completamente decepcionada "Você pode muito bem arrumar uma namorada do jeito antigo. Onde já se viu baixar um aplicativo de namoro no celular de um desmemoriado?" resmungou mais para si mesma do que para o rapaz, afinal ele era o menos culpado em tudo aquilo. O que também não era culpa, mas desde o salvamento ela tivera um carinho especial pelo homem e não queria ele envolvido com aquelas coisas. "Er... Não, tudo bem perguntar" ela se moveu no lugar um pouco incomodada, mas não tinha o porque esconder, as marcas da missão estavam em sua espinha. "Era trazer de volta três semideuses. A gente teve que lutar com uma hidra enquanto eles eram atacados por lestrigões e bem, eu tentei bancar de heroína e..." ela parou um momento, os olhos ficaram quase que leitosos e entristecidos. "Podemos dizer que gigantes canibais me usaram de glowstick" ela fez um sinal com as mãos como se partisse algo ao meio antes de suspirar novamente, toda entristecida "Se for chamado não banque o herói Liam. Você não está na sua máxima capacidade e tem uma vida inteira pela frente okay? Quem mais vou encher o saco nas forjas hun? Kit é malinha que nem eu e Kaito é... Bem, ele é ele."

FLASHBACK: antes da segunda leva de missões

— Logo não é agora. Espero que ele saiba disso. — Falava sobre o centauro mandá-lo em uma missão. Já sabia que se os deuses ordenassem, não haveria o que fazer, então restava torcer pelo bom senso deles. É, estava fodido. — Ninguém vai explodir. Pode ficar tranquila. — Deixou um riso baixo escapar. Seu conhecimento, um dia, pode ter sido grande a esse ponto, mas hoje em dia mal conseguia forjar armas simples. Sacudiu a cabeça em negação à pergunta dela. — Ainda lutando. Um de meus irmãos me apresentou o Tinder, mas ainda não tenho uma conta. — Informou, com os olhos e atenção totalmente focados na cadeira que estava de cabeça para baixo, sendo consertada. — E sua missão? Como foi? — Sabia que a garota havia acabado na cadeira de rodas, mas não sabia detalhes sobre quem foi, como foi ou o que foram buscar, sequer se conseguiram. — Se quiser falar sobre, é claro.
