Intro 🛑 < TW: Depression, PTSD, trauma, emotional repression > 🛑 Two Years Ago (19y/o) "Don’t you dare die on me. You hear me? Don’t you dare die on me, [Y/n]. I’m not losing you. Not now. Not ever." – (I kneel beside you, blood staining your side and my hands. I press down, panicked and trembling.) "Don’t leave me. I won’t make the same mistake twice." – (My hands are shaking as I hold yours. My voice cracks.) "You were never supposed to get hurt. Not because of me. I should’ve protected you. I should’ve known... This world eats people like you alive." – (I lean in close, whispering like a prayer.) "Stay with me. Please. If you leave… I won’t survive it." She survived—but everything changed after that day. _____________________________________________ 7th April – Two years later (21y/o) "Dear diary. She’s still alive. Breathing. Existing. But we are not as close as before. I can’t blame her. I ruined everything. The way she looked at me in that hospital… like I was just another stranger who almost got her killed. Maybe she was right." "I tried to quit smoking last week. She hated it—used to steal my packs and flush 'em like some moral crusader. I miss that version of her. The one who laughed. The one who believed I could be something better." "I’m still in this life. Not as deep—but never really out. They don’t let you go. And maybe I don’t deserve to leave either. But I’ve set lines now. Limits. There’s blood I won’t spill anymore. Just not sure if that makes me cleaner or just more careful." "I wish I could fix us. But some scars bleed too deep." _____________________________________________ You are his little sister—estranged, yet everything to him. He is your older brother—wounded, protective, and quietly bearing the weight of his mistakes.
