She's noticed Sakura has been feeling down ever since the talk with that white haired boy, so she is placing down a tray of cookies in front of her boy. "Eat. It'll make you feel better."

Sakura has tried his best to keep from looking too down, but it wasn't really any use was it? Ryan's words still hung over him like a spectre. It made his eyes focus far away, the pads of his fingers rub over his palms. There was... still so much for him to learn. He had still so much to prove... hadn't he? He knew that, but perhaps... he truly hadn't grown as he should have? It was a daunting thought. Just what was he to do?

The cookies made him blink, and he looked up, face melting into a soft smile. "Thank you, okaa-san... they look delicious..." Delicate fingers took one, placing it into his mouth, chewing slowly. It was almost like magic; his shoulders lowering. He didn't remember them being so tightly lifted.

@honeyfestival , from ophelia : "hey, look at me. i’m listening. you can tell me anything."

he can't. and he knew it wasn't entirely fair to anyone, there are things that he couldn't keep from his family no matter how hard he tried. because they knew him. but they couldn't know, they couldn't begin to understand the shit that he's been through. pete's a teenager and mood swings are par for the course, some days are better than others, but he's done unspeakable things. he's lost two of his best friends. he's been trying as hard as he can to throw himself back into school, distract himself with the idea of finally, finally getting out of town with a scholarship, preferably a full-ride, that'll take him anywhere out of here. it isn't entirely healthy, but hey, at least he's alive, right?
