@fableeffect sent: Anastasia tilted their head. "Running from your feelings is only going to harm you and your relationships. The past must be acknowledged and accepted before moving forward and embracing the future. You're only trapping yourself."
she’s been able to come and go through certain parts of the nether for a while now, thanks to being buddy-buddy with a few of the inhabitants-- but that wasn’t the case for all of them, as there were still some she hadn’t met yet ( like this particular one ). right off the bat, they made her nervous without even speaking, and then their words even more so.
beads of sweat trickled down her temples, hands shaking at her sides as she walked backwards-- until her back hit a wall. backing away only got her so far, it seemed.
“i’m-- i’m g-good, thanks.”
