Too Close For Comfort (Open)

Sometime after getting cleaned up, John could be found studying the files on the Evils. He was currently reading the file on Apophis, growing more visibly disturbed the more he read. This cold, heartless monster of a man reminded him far too much of himself.

Is this... what Ayami sees?

He thought back to the first time he ever killed someone. Had he hesitated at all? Had he even felt the tiniest bit of remorse?

Did his father's death effect him as deeply as it should have?

No... no! I... I...

He got up suddenly and walked away from the monitor, on the verge of tears.

I care... I care...

bear was standing to the rear of the room, looking a bit concerned John's way.

He averted his eyes, even now trying to look strong.

"You are your own person, John. no matter how things look, You are not that monster."

she reached around, giving him a hug from the back.

He didn't fight it.

"He's just... way too close..." he said, faintly sniffing.

"and you are worried you will become him." She replied, continuing to hold the hug.

"Maybe you are the strong one, and he will become you."

"I think... trying to always be the strong one might just be my problem..." he answered.

by **Byrna Cooper** » Fri Nov 04, 2011 9:34 pm

"Maybe you being strong is just because you are."

by **John Hino** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 4:03 pm

"Then why do I feel weak?"

by **Byrna Cooper** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 7:24 pm

"Because despite your touh exterior, you are still human." Bear replied, smiling.

"doubts, worries, fear.. We all have them. it's what helps us to stay grounded and connected."

by **John Hino** » Sat Nov 05, 2011 7:28 pm

He relaxed some.

"Thanks... Bear. Sometimes I... need to be reminded of that."

"Just remember.. We are all here for each other. I've got your back, and you have mine." she said, giving him a final squeeze before pulling away.

With his tears successfully averted, he turned to face her. "I'll keep that in mind," he smiled.

"Let's go and find a way home." She said, pulling him back towards the others.
