Garroth walks up to Aph's room and sees her sitting in a corner, a blanket in front of her, and a picture taped on the wall

G: A-Aph?

A: Hey Garroth.

G: Y-You didn't even turn around

A: I didn't need to. I could tell by your voice

G: H-Hey...are you alright?

A: I'm fine. Just thinking

Aphmau gets up, turns around, and hugs Garroth

Garroth looks behind her and sees a bloody knife hidden under the blanket

G: You were just thinking?

A: Yeah!

Aphmau backs up accidentally stepping on the knife. She pulls her leg up quick

A: Gah!

Garroth bends down and picks up the knife, now down by his feet

G: What is this?

A: U-Umm..

G: Were you-?

A: N-No! I was just...

G: You were just what? Don't tell me you're about to make up an excuse. I know what you were doing

A: .....

G: Aph...you shouldn't feel the need to keep things from me

A: Gene sent you...didn't he?

G: I wont lie to you...yeah he did

A: ....

Aphmau hugs Garroth again

A: I..I miss him Garroth

G: I do too Aph

A: W-Why'd he leave?

G: I...I don't know.

A: Was it because of me?

G: No...not at all. If anything he just...hasn't been himself lately

A: What changed?

G: Hm?

A: Back around when I first met him...he seemed to want to protect me.. It was if nothing would happen to me around him...then as time went by we were more open to each other...now i'm questioning if he even wants to be my friend

G: Aph..

G: Laurance loved you. Still does. He's just going through some things

A: G-Garroth?

G: Aph..I love you. But, your hurting. I feel if I were to take you, you would hurt more. However I will tell you that i'm here for you. You aren't alone in this.
