❛ Look, I know you don’t have the story you’re looking for, but someone might be interested in yours one day. ❜
❛ You think you’ve been through a lot? Lady you got no idea. ❜
❛ Nice try bitch! ❜
❛ I was looking for a place where my kids wouldn’t have to do what I did to you today. ❜
❛ Did you find it? ❜
❛ What happened? ❜
❛ If I don’t make it, that’s okay with me. As long as you do. ❜
❛ You hear me? And when this is all over, stop running from people. ❜
❛ What did you do to them? ❜
❛ We gave you a home, and you took it! ❜
❛ No, I wasn’t… it’s not what you think. ❜
❛ I know you built it for your kids, but it’s not worth risking their lives… or yours. ❜
❛ You’re trying to be the type of people that are extinct! ❜
❛ Alright, where are we goin’? ❜
❛ That’s why we have to go there. ❜
❛ I think I know who you are. ❜
❛ You definitely don’t know who I am. Cause I am a chick with layers. ❜
❛ You ever think we weren’t going to make it? ❜
❛ What got you through? ❜
❛ Thinking about how bad I didn’t want to be back out there. It’s better in here. We’re better in here. ❜
❛ When pressed and cornered, the artifice falls and the curtain drops. They always show you who they really are. ❜
❛ Why’d you save me? ❜
❛ In my experience, the really bad stuff… you never see coming. ❜
❛ Thought I was the one asking the questions. ❜
❛ Soup is the blanket of food. ❜
❛ Yeah, it’s been a while since I had company. ❜
❛ Why’d you move up here? ❜
❛ Those people thought I was a hero. ❜
❛ Doesn’t matter how many people say it’s not your fault, the only thing that matters is if you believe it. ❜
❛ Waiting? That’s that’s how you lose people. ❜
❛ I’ve done things. I keep this to remind me that I don’t want to become that person again. ❜
❛ That’s who I lost, before I lost myself. ❜
❛ Tell me one real thing, then we’ll call it even. ❜
❛ Why’d you leave? ❜
❛ In this world, we’re always on our own. ❜
❛ You’re a tough kid. ❜
❛ You should be dead. ❜
❛ You just need a little liquid imagination. ❜
❛ Why you gotta make trouble where there isn’t any? ❜
❛ I’ve seen crazy, this is kind of nice. ❜
❛ Surviving is killing me. ❜
❛ You’re not gonna die here because I’m not dying here. ❜
❛ Right now the enemy is not what’s out there, it’s actually time. ❜
❛ I did it for you. You’re the last good person I know. ❜
❛ All things come to those who wait. ❜
❛ Fear creates fury, fury creates blood. ❜
❛ You have no idea what I carry. ❜
❛ How do you tell a lie that big, and sleep at night? How do you do that? ❜
❛ If we stay together, we live. ❜
❛ Let’s see how you get out of this one. ❜

“ aren’t you tired of this shit ? ” /piet?
I HOPE THIS REACHES HER IN TIME . || accepting || @shieldedsouls
glancing at pietro, she gives a small smile shaking her head. ———————— ❝ Mm. I could be but I’ve learned there are some things not worth stressing myself out over. Come. I need help in the kitchen. And you would do well to keep your hands busy. ❞

HE HAD SPENT YEARS LOOKING FOR ANY SIGN ; any hope that someone , anyone from their family had survived. YEARS OF FEELING ALONE - years of feeling guilty for surviving. SHE’S ASKING FOR THE LAST TIME HE SAW HER. “You were upset over a game. I wanted you to stay and play but you wouldn’t. I was fairly certain you might never speak to me again. WE WERE JUST CHILDREN BUT - something had felt off all morning. The dangers outside were getting worse.” He closes his eyes , expression pained. “I thought i’d never get a chance to tell you how sorry i was for not apologising. I wanted you to stay Ruthie,” HE COULDN’T GET THOSE YEARS BACK ; but there was a new future , new beginning. “When…when i escaped the camp , i looked for you sister. I did. Yet,….there was no trace. No one could tell me anything.”
ruth isn’t expecting the right answer to come from the other. isn’t expecting him to say what only her brother and mother would have known. their mother knew because of course ruth had tattled. had run to their mother complaining that ‘max is being mean!’ but to have that memory spoken to her. there’s no stopping the tears now that start to fall. is it really? is this....she’d given up on anything like this ever happening. after losing tante, she’d resigned herself to being alone. to never having her own family. but her brother? here? ———————— ❝ We looked too. We...we stayed behind for a year then Tante decided there was no reason to dwell....Max? It’s really you? You are really.... ❞ she hastily wipes at her face turning away from him for a moment to compose herself. all these years. ❝ You have nothing to apologize for. You are right. We were just children. And we fought like children. Like siblings. It’s not you who ever needs to apologize. I....look at you. You are a man. I never....❞

IT’S HER ; it’s all the confirmation he needs as those walls come up. A young woman who’s lost everything ; who feels as if she’s being taunted with the memory of her dead brother. THIS IS RUTH. “I know that name because i was born with it Ruthie.” How many years has it been since he’s been able to call her that? his little sister. “What would anyone have to gain from this?” A BROW ARCHES. “Do you need proof? i can list our father and mothers names , our Uncle. Our parents, Edie and Jakob. Our Uncle , Erich.” HE’S CONFIDENT. He’s come to the right place. Max does not move ; he will not leave. Not yet. He needs her to believe him.
her jaw twitches as she tries to hold back any sign of emotion. it’s the way he says her name that’s truly getting to her. it’s unbearably familiar and yet....it can’t be. can it? they’d searched. they’d waited. why now? why had it taken....but knowing names isn’t enough. though...perhaps he doesn’t know what someone might have to gain from tricking her. or maybe he does and that’s exactly why he was here. tante had always taught her to hide. told her to always keep a guard up. if people knew what she could do....the plants seem to pick up on this shift in emotion, some leaning in towards her, some seemingly coming to attention. ———————— ❝ Anyone can find a name if they search for it. When is the last time you saw me? ❞ it’s a memory that she’s replayed. wishing she’d been less bored. had played with her brother instead of going out with tante. instead of wanting to go for a walk instead of staying with her family. all because she was in a mood over a stupid game.

WHO IS HE LOOKING FOR? So many people. So many faces. Lost. Dead. Gone. But not hers. No hers, is staring right back at his own. Max dares not have hope - he hasn’t had hope for a very long time & yet ; he can feel the spark of it. RUTH ; he needs to know. “My name is Max Eisenhardt. I’m looking for my sister.” He admits. “Her name is Ruth. I lost her a long time ago. I wasn’t sure if i would ever see her again.”
her name is ruth. the words of the other’s send a chill and ruth falters. stares. he is claiming to be her brother. her max. her protector that she lost so long ago and....it’s cruel. she doesn’t know how he knows that name or what game this is but it’s cruel. ———————— ❝ Get out. I don’t know how you know that name or what you hoped to achieve but... ❞ she shakes her head, eyes cold now as a wall comes up. it’s bad enough that his eyes immediately made her think of her brother but for this man to use his name too?

“ Actually , i’m rather looking for someone, not here for flowers.” IT’S NOT POSSIBLE. Max has told himself that over and over , trying to convince himself. No one in their family aside from him had survived. IT’S NOT POSSIBLE. He tells himself again ; standing in the flower shop - looking at a young woman who resembles his mother. SHE’S THE MIRROR IMAGE ; it’s not possible.
looking up, she has to take a moment to pause. it’s common for her to see old faces that she tries to forget in the faces of strangers but for a moment...but she knows it’s impossible. still, it is jarring. giving the other a smile, she gives an inviting nod. ———————— ❝ I have lived here since I was a teen. I know many people. Who are you looking for? ❞

— SHE STEPS INTO the store and easily calmed by the surrounding plants. it’s settling, even the little tingle of the bell as she steps inside. she flashes a light smile back at the woman, gaze then flickering around. ❝ i am looking for something for my kitchen, to brighten it up. i have not had the time to grow anything myself. ❞ a few steps futher into the store, fingertips dancing over the petals of flowers. ❝ i am thinking perhaps bellflowers. or lilies of the valley. ❞
ruth gives the young woman a smile as she listens to what she’s looking for and gives a nod. ———————— ❝ Well, if you want to brighten up...yellow primroses with maybe some bellflowers throughout...complimenting colors. Come...I will show you what we have...❞

“OH.” He glances outside, and everything seems quiet, but he’s sure that the moment he steps one foot out of safety, he’ll be flocked by people. Why did he ever think this was a good idea, again? “Fifteen more minutes?” he asks, and he knows fifteen minutes is only delaying the inevitable, and he has been there for a long time already, but… he’s not ready to go out and face the music just yet.
she can tell he really doesn’t seem too keen on leaving and he seems harmless (and even if he wasn’t, she could handle herself), looking him over, she finally gives him a bit of a nod. ———————— ❝ Ten minutes. Though, I could be persuaded for more if you wanna share what you’re hiding from. ❞
