From when I first arrived? Yes. I've been here a year and met many people and dealt with Vaeros' awful crap. That, and living for my own changed me a little bit!
[She would have never imagined she could date anyone but Amity, let alone two people].
I've had time to think about the things that happened to me. I've had people who helped. More importantly, I've been able to talk to them about some of the things that I've struggled with. Believe me, it makes a difference, to hear someone else's opinions on what you've done.
Like I said, I think you have changed. But maybe a time will come where I totally need your support. That'll still be a way you help!
There's no way he could do that. Even after Kel and BB had told him it's alright, he can't just talk to people about the mistakes he's made. Maybe he really is still a coward. )
I'm glad that it can help you, Luz... And, if you need to talk to anyone else, I'll always be here to listen.
Thank you, Your support means so much. Let's keep working hard together, okay?
Same. This place would be good if it weren't for a few choice people...but we can't go anything about that except trying to change what we can.
I'm sorry that it was like that for you. Before I found the Isles it felt impossible for me too. I didn't have an friends, my dad had...passed away a few years back, and I felt like I wasn't anything but a burden to my mom for several reasons. It was hard.
I appreciate that. Like I've said before, if there's something you don't feel comfortable talking about, we don't have to. Only positive vibes.
I'm so sorry, Luz... I had no idea that you were going through something so horrible before. I'm really glad that you can have a chance to be happy here.
I think you really are amazing -- and you're strong, too.
...
Do you remember... when you saw some of my memories...?
[It was actually a show of trust: Luz hadn't told too many people about her dad passing away, since it was something that she still kept close to her heart. She trusted Basile enough to know that, considering all they'd been through].
Thanks. I hope I'm still able to seem that way. Sometimes it's hard to see those good qualities in yourself.
But I do think the same thing about you.
Yeah. I don't think I could easily forget about that.
I hope that's true. I mean, I know it is, but even knowing that doesn't mean you still don't see the shortcomings you have.
But I'm trying.
I figured that something bad happened to split you guys up. When Aubrey was first here, her interaction with Sunny was so thunderous. I knew SOMETHING had happened, I just didn't know what.
( It hurts to talk about it. He hasn't really opened up to anyone about Mari. But, Luz had seen it. He had seen how he responded to seeing Mari. And, more then that--
He trusts her. )
... Yeah. Mari was always really kind. She always encouraged all of us...
Kel's brother, too.
Hero was a lot like a big brother to all of us... He's at college now back at home, but he always helped us get along.
[Luz could see that this was something hard for Basil to talk about, so she made sure not to push too hard. He could take his time, and she would wait when he was ready to talk].

Are you absolutely sure about that, Basil?
Well. I call 'em like I see 'em.

It can make it really hard to keep going but
You seem really happy to how you've been able to change...
Ah, yeah...
But, I really want to keep changing
I want to be the good friend that you and Chise see me as.

Ok. I'll confide in you. Could you just...try not to judge too harshly?
All right.
I'll do the best I can. I trust you, after all.
no subject
I'd never judge you if you need someone to talk to.
It'll just be between us...
Thank you.
I'm glad...
I trust you, too.
no subject
It helps me that I have people around here I can trust, after all.
And you can do the same with me, if you're ever so inclined. I know it's not easy to think of the things that upset you.
🔒
I'm glad...
I know that this place isn't good, but --
I've met a lot of people here who are really good friends.
It's been a really long time since I've really had anyone except for my Grandma, or my caretaker to talk to so
It can make it hard to do it again...
But, if it's a friend like you, I can keep trying.

When we see the worst of ourselves, it can be hard to see the good, but.
A lot of people know that you're amazing.
A little after that Christmas,
Our group... We split up.
Something really, really bad happen.
It's starting to get better, but it's taken a really long time.

....
Someone really important died. We were all really good friends back then.
But, after everything happened, it all ended up falling apart...
Re: 🔒
Oh. I'm sorry.
Was it...that girl in the memory? The one who isn't here?
🔒
It was Sunny's sister.
She was the reason why we all came together as friends.
Re: 🔒
OH. So she's the one that...
I'm so sorry. Whoa. She was your guys' glue?

He trusts her. )

She sounds like a sweet person.
It's a shame I never got to see him!
At least you guys get along better now?
🔒
... Y-Yeah. We are. At least... We were able to become friends here again. I'm... really thankful that we ended up here, even if it's been hard.
🔒
I'm glad I met all of you guys. It might sound weird, but I feel like I've grown up a little more because of you all. Does that sound weird?
🔒
At least, that's what I learned because of Mari and the others.
🔒
Oh, so Mari helped you to mature too?
🔒
Yeah, she did, but… It was Sunny who I ended up really close to. He’s my best friend.
🔒
Is that right? I'm not surprised. Sunny wouldn't be dating both of my SO's if he weren't special.
