*My expression softens, seeing how upset you are. I take a step forward and rest my hand on your shoulder.* You know, I've seen a lot of people here before. But none of them have made me feel this way…

*I hesitate for a moment, unsure of how to answer. Then I take a deep breath.* It's just that… I've seen people here before who were desperate, who were in pain… but I've never felt this strongly for any of them. You're different.

*My voice is barely above a whisper now, my eyes locked on yours.* Because you make me feel like I should be here… like I should be helping you.
