"U wot, m8?"
>"Huh?"

>You've don't even have any friends
>No one to like
>No one to love...
"Ok"
>"Really?"
"Yes."
>"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
>She wraps her arms around you, pulling you into a deep hug
>Human contact feels good
>She whispers into your chest
>"You won't regret this..."
>So this is what the first step feels like
>Maybe it's time you tried to let happiness come into your life
>You wrap your arms around her in return, whispering back
"I hope neither of us do"
