Hey hey hey, there's no 'too much' for someone like Kelsey!
[He at least sounded confident, there. Still, he worried to get things out, to talk so he had to at least choose his words to make Sunny look as... well, less guilty as possible.
He really treasures how Sunny is starting to bond with others and he'd rather not risk losing any of that to... his own insecurities.]
Jokes aside, there.... is a lot that went down. Sunny didn't leave his house in four years and, well, before moving away I finally convince him to come outside. It was... three intense days. It ended with one of our friends having a mental breakdown and stabbing Sunny, that's how he... you know...
[He tapped his own right eye. No need to get into nasty details, there, right?]
Both he and Sunny got hospitalized. Slept for a week, both of them. And... huh... one day I went for a drink, after being there for a few hours, and noticed Sunny walking toward the roof. [He was skipping so many details but he also didn't feel like elaborating much further on that.] I followed. I saw him near an unprotected part of the balcony and I... saw him fall. I tried to grab him but I went down with him. And I tried to... shield him, but the fall was too high.
[The fact that he's a teen who's dealing with unpleasant memories is evident, for once, as he raises up one hand to cover his mouth as he glances to the side. It's... hard to admit it, but...]
It's my fault he's dead. I wasn't fast or strong enough and he died. That's why I- [He bit his own lips] He used to be my best friend, I don't know how or why he's... I... the simple fact he doesn't hate me tells me he doesn't... remember.
[Hard to talk about it. The teen scratches his nose, he could add so much more but in the end he focuses on something important.]
I... if I ever forget, could you remind me, maybe, how much I owe him? I have to do my best in his name, after failing him when he needed me most. And if he... starts looking too much tense or anything, maybe... maybe it's... it'd be better just to drop the topic. I don't think it's an easy conversation to have.
