[ not that she shouldn't be capable at taking care of herself, and it isn't him reprimanding her in the way that he does the "kids" in this town.
he's forced loneliness on himself, seen the danger he could bring forth on others and has tried time and again to fence himself off, usually with success. and maybe, he'd still be doing just that right now, if certain people hadn't crept beneath his skin to force him out of that shell, enabling him to avoid completely securing his personal barriers. he might still be prone to not exposing all of those deeper concerns, puddles of guilt, and emotionally crippling memories of pain β but he's been better and that counts for something. ]
Look, just β don't think twice about it. Don't worry about my load. Something happens, just reach out, yeah?
[ Oh how she wishes she could say yes to that offer honestly. Chloe knows herself too well though; sheβs still the type who believes herself better off alone, who doesnβt want others to come to any harm taking care of her. Thereβs been maybe one or two people who have broken the wall enough for her to admit when she isnβt okay to, but it still takes getting to an absolute breaking point before it happens.
Dying so many times means another death doesnβt seem so bad. Better her than the people here who arenβt used to it. Emotional burdens arenβt any better when everyone has so much to deal with and so many others to care for.
Sheβs glad it isnβt video so she at least doesnβt have to fake a smile. All she needs is to get her voice to hit that pitch that maybe sounds authentic. ]
Okay. Yeah. Iβll keep that in mind, Frank.
