i'm a sucker for that scene where one person is injured and alone and ends up knocking on another person's door in their hour of need, and i'm an even bigger sucker for the tending to the injuries and the quiet emotional content that follows, and i'm here to make it everyone else's problem! as always, to reverse the actions, just add "+ REVERSE" to the end!
" i didn't know where else to go... "
" whatever you've been told about me, whatever you've heard or seen or listened to... none of it's true. "
" at least i have you to look after me, eh? "
" would you believe me if i said i got all these injuries by slipping in the rain? "
" i'm sorry... i know this isn't what you signed up for. "
" you're the only one i can trust. "
" do you believe what they're saying about me? "
" aren't you going to say i told you so? "
" i am grateful, you know. for everything you've ever done for me... i notice. and i see you. and i've never thanked you properly before, so... thank you. "
" i know i must be the last person you expected to see tonight, but... i'm afraid i have nowhere else to turn to. "
" thank you for not asking questions. "
" i know you have no reason to believe me, much less to trust me, but... i promise you. i swear to you, i am being set up. "
" you know, you'd make a nice profit if you turned this place into a safehouse. "
" why are you helping me? "
" why the hell did you open your door for me if you're so angry at me?! "
" quickly, get in before anyone sees you... "
" you came to the right place. hurry, get in... "
" what the hell happened to you!? "
" are you going to tell me what happened to you tonight? "
" i assume that the rumors surrounding you are all false and unrelated to why you're bleeding out on my sofa? "
" do you honestly expect me to just forget about the past so i can bandage you up? "
" you don't need to thank me. you'd fix me up if i came to your door with this much trouble, too. "
" regardless of everything you've said and done in the past, there isn't a single part of me that wouldn't open the door when you're knocking on it. "
" we can talk in the morning. for now, you need to rest. "
" i found you unconscious on my doorstep. "
" oh, i get it. i can stitch you up and let you get blood all over my bed sheets until the cows come home, but heaven forbid i start to ask questions about why you're bleeding in the first place. "
" things must be really bad if you're trying to say i was your best chance at being helped. "
" don't be stupid. you're not going anywhere. come on, back into bed... "
" i called in sick. we have the whole day to figure out what your next moves are going to be. "
" good! you're awake. i was beginning to worry... "
" you're not allowed to die in my bedroom. the rumours would never stop... "
" perhaps we ought to let bygones be bygones. until i'm confident that you're not going to die on my sofa, that is. "
" it's a bit late to worry about dragging me into your mess, don't you think? "
" you know why i opened that door... "
