Oh. Who are you and why are you talking to me?
//lol chill max//
*max looks a bit apprehensive*
*smiles slightly and kneels down next to him.*
You ready to go in? Wanna knock?

Huh. You know, I had an affinity for blue hoodies when I was your age.

Oh. Who are you and why are you talking to me?
//lol chill max//
I want…talk to…da-David…
You got it, pal. *places the tissue in Max’
hand and stands up. Offers his hand.* He’s in the counselor cabins, right? Want
me to walk with you?…okay…
*gently takes his other hand and starts
walking* It’ll be okay, Max.No, it won’t, but thanks for the sentiment I guess…
It will be okay. Take it from me – you’re not
going to be where you are forever. You’ll grow and you’ll learn. Your entire
life doesn’t have to be about what’s going on right now.But right now this is my entire life. There is no then, there is only a now. My perception is here, and my perception is what’s happening at this time. This is now, and this is my pocket of reality. Yes, it will shift sometime, but right now this is my world, my life, and this is what’s going on.
*nods* Of course. I’m not trying to invalidate
your feelings. I just… know that sometimes you might think that this is all
there is. Talking to an adult who wants to help you is a great step forward.This. Here. This moment. This is all that exists. If you think about it, everything is happening at the exact moment, I’m born, I live, and I die, all at the same time. This here, is everything, and nothing. At the same time.
Huh. You know, you’re starting to sound a
little like the folks in the town where I’m from.
*they’re at the cabin. Carlos looks at Max to
see if he still wants to talk to David*
Huh. You know, I had an affinity for blue hoodies when I was your age.

I don’t n-need it…I’m not crying…*sniffles again*
You know, you’re still strong if you are.
Crying isn’t a sign of weakness – it’s a sign of how deeply you feel. But that’s
not weak. I promise you.*fuckin breaks down* I-I’m sorry…I’m sorry…I’m sorry…
//oh shit angst//
*just squeezes the boy’s hand* No, no, shhh…
it’s okay. It’s really okay, I promise. I’m
sorry for bringing this all up. I really didn’t mean to. You’re alright, I promise.*hiccups* *sobs a lot* n-no, you don’t…understand…my…fault…it’s my fault…they…told me…was…my fault…
*’Here we go – just gonna dive head-first into
this rabbit-hole,’ he thinks* No, no… you’re a child. You’re only responsible
for your actions. What did they say?I…I’m not…good enough…I can’t be…perfect child…it’s my fault that…my fault…dad…dead…mom…remarried…my…fault…
That’s not true. Things like that – those aren’t
kids’ responsibilities. And nobody’s perfect – it’s foolish to expect that from
anyone, even adults.You don’t understand…i…I killed him…it…accident…was…an accident…please don’t tell…don’t get them in trouble…please…
I’m not going to tell anyone. I don’t even
know the whole story. Calm down… it’s okay. You’re not in trouble, I promise.
Hey… can you tell me your name?M…max…my name is max…please…don’t hurt me…I didn’t mean to…I swear…
I’m not going to hurt you. I promise, you’re
not in trouble. I know you don’t know me well… do you want some alone time? I
can walk you to your tent and I’ll explain to your counselors that you need to
be alone for a bit. I won’t tell them anything else though if you don’t want me
to.
Huh. You know, I had an affinity for blue hoodies when I was your age.
