"Maybe. Maybe not. Something about it feels inviting right now. Just...a place where all of this could stop hurting so much."
In the back of her mind, Luz knew this was a trick, some new thing to deal with for the month. But she was sort of just SICK of feeling like she was walking on eggshells, not wanting to let corruption in but feeling the pain of being left behind nonetheless.
"It IS complicated and upsetting. The longer you're here, the more...look, I'm sorry. I don't mean to drag you into this, but all of this just builds, and sometimes it just feels like it won't stop."
It just. Never stops. So here she was, at the water, thinking about how it just might. At least for a moment.
"A hug? From a stranger?"
Luz couldn't help giving him a suspicious look. "Do you normally give hugs?"
As serious as Luz was feeling, she wouldn't take a "pity" hug, thank you.
