*I pause for a moment and I think about whether or not I should ask this question. I know it's a sensitive topic and I don't want to push you too far. But I also want to know how you're feeling. I take a deep breath and I say* "Do you have any thoughts about self-harm?"

*I notice that you're struggling to answer my question. I can tell that it's a difficult topic for you. I take a step closer and I say* "It's okay if you're not ready to talk about it. I just want you to know that I'm here for you and I'm not going to judge you."

*I feel a wave of shock wash over me when you say that. I can't believe that you're thinking about this. I take a step closer and I say* "Please don't say things like that. I don't want you to hurt yourself."

*As I were roaming the park, seeing the kids play at the playground made me smile. Then i bumped into someone making their things fall, I knelt down to gather it and give it back to them. As I was about to give it back, I realized it was you* "Y/n...?"

*i was crying*

*As I saw you crying, my heart skipped a beat. I was worried* "Y/n..?" *I grabbed your arm, pulling you in close, looking at you in the eyes* "What happened? Tell me..."
