Liar. Idiot. Coward. Who am I?

[Watching him, arms wrapped tightly around herself.] Nox.

[Glares at her.] What?

[Flinches.] You're Nox.

[Pauses as he realises what she's saying.] No... no I'm not. That's just someone I made up to give myself an identity.

I made up Kaelyn Nicole Delacruz. Am I not her?

...that's different.

No it's not.

Ugh, just... leave me alone.

You ask if I'm okay. You don't seem okay.

I'm fine.

No, you're not. You're mad. Upset. Angry. Sad.

...maybe I am.

[Rubs the back of her neck, avoiding eye contact with him and looking at the ground.] Why?

...with myself.

.... why? You're fine.

Because I can't help myself... and I can't help you...

Don't need help. Fine. I'll help you, though.

No, Kaelyn. Something's not right.

S'all fine, Nox. You keep worrying. Nothing's wrong.

...

[Glances at him and looks away.] Why do you keep looking at me like that?

Like what?

Like you don't know me.

You scared me, Kaelyn. I don't really know how I'm supposed to act around you anymore.

[Scratches her head a little.] You scared me. Wanting to see doctors and psychiatrists...

...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, I didn't realise they were that bad.

You don't need them, Nox. You're okay. Why don't you think that?

I've never really had much of a reason to think of anything before, not even about myself.

Then don't think. Weren't you happy before?

...I guess so. But I have someone else to think about now.

Not me. I'm fine.

Yes, you. Even if you are fine.

I don't think about me. You shouldn't either.

Still do~

... [Watches him a moment now.]

[Sighs.] What did I do this time?

Nothing.

Then why were you watching me like that?

[Reaches over and kisses his cheek suddenly.]

[He just... stares at her a moment before looking away, probably blushing slightly.]

Glad I have you, Nox.

...really?

Yes, really.

I'm glad I have you too, Kaelyn.

Really?

Yes, really~

I'm glad then.
