Arthur : ... Me : ...I don't want you to get dr"nk again. Arthur : ...

Arthur : ... Me : ...How did you get that habit to dr!nk when you feel bad...? Arthur : ...*looks away* It's none of your business... Me : I just want to know. Arthur : ...You don't need to know... [I don't want you to...]

Arthur : ... Me : ... Arthur : ...I was young back then... Me : ...

Arthur : It was... after one of those little "parties", as he called those tørtμre sessions... Me : ... {...I shouldn't have asked...} Arthur : ...I found one of his bottles... And I wondered "Why not...? I don't really have anything to lose now... Even though he'd k!ll me if he found out..." It was my first bottle... I was 12.

Arthur : And it became an habit... Whenever I feel bad... I dr!nk my sorrows. Me : ... Arthur : ...

Arthur : *His tears are flowing down, though he doesn't seem to care...*... Me : ... {...}

Arthur : ... Me : ...*hugs him too* {...}

Arthur : ... Me : ... {I'm sorry Arthur...} Arthur : ...*gently pushes them away and walks away* Me : ... {...}

Me : ...*follows him* Hey, where are you going ? Arthur : ...Home... Me : ... *stops him* Arthur : ...? Me : ...*wipes his tears away* Don't stay alone like that... I'm not the best one to say that, but... Don't. You don't know what you may do. Arthur : ... [I do know what I'm going to do...]

Arthur : ... [...] Me : ...Stay with us. For a little while, at least. Arthur : ... [What I wouldn't do for a glass... Or a bl@de...] Me : ... {I don't like it when he has this look...}

Arthur : ... Me : ... Arthur : ...Alright... Me : ...Great.

Arthur : ... Me : ... {We should try to distract him a bit... He truly looks depressed...}

Arthur : ... Me : ... {...} Is there something you'd like to do ? Arthur : ...Well... Me : Except the pub of course. Arthur : Hm... I don't know...

Arthur : ... Me : ...

Me : How about going to the park and walk a bit ? Arthur : ...Why not...

Me : That's right~ Arthur : Well... Let's go then... Me : Yeah~

Me : *follows her* Arthur : ...*follows us*

Me : Er, yes~ Arthur : O-okay... [...Let's try at least for a little while...] *tiny smile*

Arthur : ! I-I'm trying ! Me : *chuckles*

Arthur : Meeeeeh ! Me : ~

Arthur : *can't help smiling* Why not~? Me : {Finally~}

Arthur : Alright, I'm smiling now~

Me : Hey, why don't we race each other to the park ? Arthur : Why not.
