Random Bystander

She snorted. "Nah. Your stuck with me." She beamed at him.

She assumed that meant he didn't, and just silently sat next to him.

"Do you feel better yet?"

She shrugged. "It'd be worth it, if it means you're my friend."

"For what?"

She just sat next to him silently.

"No, you're my friend." She said stubbornly

"My friend." She said.

"Well, for me, the pressure from a hug, or even a hand on my shoulder often helps me relax, or helps ground me. And you're sad, so..."

"Is it ok if I touch you?"

"No! You're not. I can tell." She said. "Dying is easy. I... I know that first hand. Surviving takes courage." She said, sitting down next to him.

She panicked. "Terrance? What did I do? Are you ok?"

Elsie sighed. "Well, your not a monster to me. You've obviously been through some insane crap, and you keep going. And your a nice person. I think you're cool." She said, folding her arms. "And I believe in you." She said decisively.

"And it very obviously traumatized the living garbage out of you. I mean look at yourself! I don't see a monster, I see an extremely traumatized teenager!" She said, gesturing around with her hands.

"What do you..." She paused. "Look. You were scared, and you lashed out. That doesn't make you a monster. That makes you human. Can you truthfully say that you enjoy causing pain? Because until the answer is yes, in my book you aren't a monster."

She looked horrified. "You are not a monster, Terrance."

"What do you think you are?" She asked

She waited, making an effort to not butt in.

"It is though. People have boundaries, and I tend to accidentally push them." She said. "I... Are you ok?"

"I'm so sorry. I'm not good with understand boundaries unless people specifically tell me, and I didn't understand that I was pushing too hard until it was too late. I am so so sorry." She started crying. "I know I can be a bit much, and you might hate me now. You don't have to forgive me, just please know that I am sorry." She said, starting to tear up. "I just wanted you to have fun, and then later I didn't want you to be hurt." She whispered.

She felt slightly nauseous, and extremely anxious, but did her best to fight it off. She stood up shakily. She walked over to him. "Terrance, wait."

Elsie slipped and fell on her butt. She let out a yelp as she fell. She blinked, and looked up. "Terrance?"

Elsie walked around the train, but didn't see Terrance anywhere.

Elsie felt nervous. "I gotta go find the bathroom. I'll be right back..." She walked out. She had to find Terrance.

Elsie grins evilly and puts down a +4. "I change the color to yellow." @Weaver of Lights
