correr de manhã no central park era um hábito sagrado para a francesa, que colocava seus fones de ouvido no volume máximo, religiosamente escutando alguma música da taylor swift enquanto dava-se o direito de esvaziar a cabeça e esquecer de todos os problemas por cerca de meia hora, enquanto corria. entretanto, às vezes acabava tão absorta em seus pensamentos que entrava em um modus operandi automático, com o olhar um tanto perdido por trás das lentes dos óculos escuros, fazendo que intuitivamente ela desse um passo atrás do outro, apenas seguindo o caminho da pista. entretanto, quando abruptamente a música parou, a atenção de victoria foi automaticamente para seu celular, o tirando da pochete para ver o que diabos havia acontecido para interromper sua sagrada cantoria. o mais sábio a se fazer seria parar para isso, obviamente, mas não foi o que aconteceu, pois tão acostumada a correr, victoria achou que daria conta de seguir mais alguns passos sem sair do rumo. só não esperava a presença de muse em sua frente, fazendo com que dessem um brusco esbarrão, e por conseguinte a fazendo cair sentada, exclamando naturalmente um alto “merde!”

Horário: qualquer horário da noite/madrugada

    A música não muito alta era o que mais deixava Megumi a vontade no barzinho que decidira ir com as amigas - amigas essas, que haviam desaparecido com alguns rapazes depois de uma ou duas horas - e agora a japonesa cogitava a ideia de simplesmente ir embora. Afinal, se soubesse que o lugar era predominantemente hétero, jamais teria concordado em ir, visto que precisava expulsar os rapazes de perto praticamente a cada segundo e ainda que a música lhe agradasse, sabia que era questão de tempo até perder a paciência.

A aproximação de MUSE acabou arrancando um virar de olhos de impaciência da asiática e ela respirou fundo enquanto ajeitava cuidadosamente o vestido Dior preto que usava - Espero que não esteja vindo com mais uma cantada ou vou ignorar toda a educação que tenho e quebrar essa taça na sua cabeça - foi somente o que disse antes de levar a bebida aos lábios vermelhos e tomar um pequeno gole.

local: piscina no terraço de um hotel no brooklyn horário: fim de tarde

O the William vale é o hotel com a maior piscina da cidade, ficando no terraço no vigésimo segundo andar, com um bar e a melhor vista de Manhattan, um dos pontos com as festas mais badaladas do momento, não é qualquer um que consegue um convite para os eventos que aconteciam ali, o que não era o caso de Jude, que recebe toda semana e de pessoas que não fazia a menor ideia de quem eram. Eram raros os momentos que ele aceitava ir, como foi nesse caso, só aceitou depois que perturbar o máximo de pessoa possível para lhe fazer companhia e conseguiu, na base da insistência, a companhia de MUSE. Estava bem vestido, sentado no bar enquanto ouvia uma mistura de sons, de pessoas brincando na piscina e misturando com a música que tocava de algum dj famoso, mas sua atenção era na sua companhia que seria o estopim necessário para Jude aproveitar melhor aquela baladinha.

local: galeria de arte com performances multicampi horário: durante a noite

Era como um tipo de sarau artístico multicampi, ambiente onde todos tem o seu momento de brilhar e, também, tem a abertura para as festas de jovens inconsequentes, o ambiente mantinha sob uma proteção fortíssima, e isso não interessava muito já que os frequentadores preferem apenas curtir e usar o espaço para as diversas manifestações, além da falsa sensação de liberdade. Jude gosta do ambiente porque ele pode ser estranho sem pré julgamentos, mas tudo pode acontecer em eventos preparados em ambientes como esse. E Jude estava pronto para isso, pronto para fazer parte daquele círculo e também se divertir um pouco, mas ele realmente não esperava encontrar ninguém que conhecia ali, na verdade, ele sabia que o seu círculo social dificilmente estaria em um ambiente como aquele, mas foi uma surpresa quando, ao esbarrar em alguém, ouviu uma voz muito parecida com MUSE. Na dúvida, preferiu agir com a naturalidade de ter se esbarrado em um completo desconhecido e esperava mesmo que não estivesse passando por alguma situação constrangedora. “Desculpa, quando venho em ambientes cheios assim e desacompanhado, fico um pouco perdido. Não te machuquei né?”

01. bem estilo filme adolescente dos anos 2000, muse e niel passaram horas ao telefone falando da dashboard toda. pode ser bem ou mal, o importante é a fofoca correr.

02. muse e niel estão presos em um dos eventos sediados na galeria de arte mcarthur, então decidem procurar algo divertido para fazer por ali. fumar maconha, dar uns beijos sem compromissos, ficar correndo nas escadas como duas crianças, brincar de verdade ou desafio, tudo vale.

03. bêbado, machucado e sem saber para onde ir, niel acaba na porta de muse com um pedido de ajuda, já que seus pais e preferencialmente mais ninguém não podem vê-lo naquele estado.

04. em uma daquelas noites no diamond club, niel vê alguém colocando uma coisa no copo de muse. mesmo não sendo do tipo heróico, é óbvio que ele se aproxima e tenta livrar muse da situação. se muse acabar bebendo o drink batizado, niel cuida pra que não se meta em problemas e acabe na gossip. ou tenta.

“  i just want to be done.  i’m tired.  i’m so,  so fucking tired.  ”

“  i know it’s selfish.  but i wish someone would just take care of me.  ”

“  every time i start to feel like things are getting quieter and i can feel safe,  something bad always happens.  ”

“  i tend to love people more than they love me.  and it’s okay.  i don’t mind but…it can be lonely.  ”

the comforter: 

“  hey,  look at me.  i’m listening.  you can tell me anything. ”

“   how can i help you feel less alone?  ”

“  i’m here and i’m not leaving or letting you change the subject.  now talk to me. ”

“  i know you feel like you’re alone and i’m not going to invalidate that.  but i can tell you that i’m here.  and i know there are people who want to care and help if you’ll let them.  ”

“  whatever it is you’re struggling with,  i want to help and it’s not going to make me look at you any different.  ”

“   i like having you around.  and not because of what you can do for me or give to me—  i like you.  i value you as a person.  ”

“   i just need you to know that you’ve never been ‘nobody’ to me.  you’ve never been nothing.  ”

“   you’re important to me.   you hear me?  you’re important.  and that’s never gonna change.   ”

“  i’m not going anywhere until you get some sleep.  ”

“  i want to take care of you.  please,  let me.  ”

“  no one is meant to be all alone.  that’s not how humans are built.  you don’t need to do all this on your own.   ”

“  you don’t deserve the bad things that happen to you.  you never did.  ”

“  i can’t promise you aren’t going to have any more hardship.  but i can promise i’m gonna be right here to get your through it. ”

“  you make a difference in my life.  i’m not just saying that.  it wouldn’t be the same without you here and i don’t want to find out what it’d be like to not have you around. ”
