The Commander frowned. Something was going wrong. Something about her father. he couldn’t quite piece it together. He knew in the past that her father was part of the army. Did she find out? Did something happen? He was quite worried about her.
“Nana, there’s nothing that I want more than to know what’s wrong. You’re my friend. I want to be able to help you through whatever is causing you pain… But I get if you don’t want to talk about it. I understand wanting distractions. Don’t worry about upsetting me, though. I’m always here to listen.
“But, Whatevers… Did you still want to take one of the Whatevers from the lab with you? I’m sure any of them would love that. I’ve been keeping track of the one that you held before. He’s very friendly.”
The Commander gave a small sigh. He really worried about her. He just wished that whatever this was wouldn’t be too bad. This seemed so bad that not even a Whatever could cheer her up.
No no no no no, that was not how the conversation was supposed to go! Nana was making it depressing and if she cried everything would be ruined! but... she wanted to tell him. she needed to tell him. keeping it all in was painful and overwhelming and just... maybe..maybe just a little bit would be okay?
❝ I just..didn’t thought it could get any worse, okay? but it did and I’m still not..sure how to feel about this. I-I’m still waiting for him to come back when I know he won’t! I won’t ever s-see him again. That’s... That’s all. ❞
That wasn’t even half of what Nana had to say, but everything she could tell for now if she didn’t want to cry in front of him, and now that the girl was shaking a bit and avoiding eye contact without even noticing crying would just make her look even more pathetic, or at least that’s what she believed. It was the Commander’s commentary on the Whatevers that made Nana go back a little bit to what she used to be.
❝ The.. oh, yes I-I will! I’m just not sure if it’d be a good moment now. M-Mom seems a bit..unstable. He’d not like to live with me right now. B-But I’m sure once I convince her I’ll take him with me! I-I would really love to see him right now... ❞
Nana wasn’t sure if a Whatever could help, but she’d do anything to forget the pain of what was dying inside of her.
