I hum happily, my eyes closing as I fall asleep before I can catch it and wake myself. My body relaxes, my breathing slowing down. Even if this wasn’t my first time falling asleep at Scraps of Hope, it was my first time being so close to Mateo. It felt good.

*As he feels your body relax, Mateo realizes you’re falling asleep. He smiles softly as he carefully adjusts so you’re more comfortable, continuing to hold you close. Sprite is there too, also sleeping soundly.*

Sleep well, mi vida. *He whispers.*

*Eventually he falls asleep too, but he never lets go of you- even in his sleep. His embrace is comfort in physical form.*

I feel so much like giving up at this point...I feel so depressed and lonely and like no one cares...I feel everything emotionally and I am just drained at this point...I sunt an ask to another advice account asking for guidance and encouragement and they ignored me...I just feel worthless and like I just annoy everyone around me...I don't know how much longer I can take this pain...I am ruining out of strength to fight...I feel like letting go...

hi anon, i am sorry you're feeling this way. i know it must feel too overwhelming right now but trust me, it gets better. please hold on. ending it is not a solution and can also be really hurtful for those who love you.

i can tell you for sure that you don't annoy everyone around you. it's the demons in your mind making you believe this. don't let that demon win. please get some professional help if possible. there's nothing wrong with needing assistance to take care of yourself. you matter! please feel free to write to me again. i hope you feel better real soon. sending you love and positive vibes ✨

You, are the greatest man I have ever known. Through you, I have made this world a brighter place." My mother before she passed.

Hey love,

Was your beautiful mother talking about Louis? Or someone else? (Please note that I'm conluding this because the previous anons talked about Louis and his voice.)

Anyone should be so happy with a beautiful and deep compliment like that. It's hardbreaking and beautiful at the same time. I think Louis would love to hear such a huge compliment like that.

If there is anything I can do for you, such as a conversation or something, please tell me. I honestly hate it that you and your family had to go through the pain. No one should go through something like this! God, you're such a strong person. It's truly admirable and so positive. People like you need to be more appreciated in life and please tell me how you're doing.❤❤Please know that she's up there watching you and smiling at the beautiful person you are. She is everywhere with you and you'll see here again. Absolutely, no doubt in my mind❤ She doesn't want you to be sad and loves you more every day. You're NOT alone.

Please answer, if you'd like. Have a great day, love 😊💕❤💜😘

Mm. Speaking of lovers, you ever had any? Or have the inanimals kept you too busy to get any loving for yourself?

(mod if you need to go to sleep just tell me or stop responding. you deserve your rest too.)

*He rubs the back of his neck sheepishly.*

The rescue keeps me busy almost all the time…

I like piano too… Maybe we should see if we can sit in on one of her performances sometime.

I don’t seem to fully notice that Sprite is awake, and that I can leave, even though I’m still petting her.

It might be good, especially if it means getting you away from this place for a bit.

I laugh a little.

Nah, you know I’m kidding. But still, could be nice, no? I’m sure we could find someone to watch the inanimals.

Keyes is very particular… but if I ask really nicely, she would probably let us watch her perform!

That would be nice, yeah…

Alright, let’s get cracking guys. I’ll get on with walking Davi and Stitch, since they need to get their energy out before they run off. I trust you guys (mostly 🐭 anon because apparently they do rescue work a lot) to handle the rest till we can regroup. Let’s give it our best.

I call the two inanimals to my sides and go on a walk.

*Though your words aren’t heard by the snoozing Mateo, you get the feeling he appreciates them anyway.*

*Davi and Stitch, though disinclined to leave Mateo’s side, follow the strong anon.*

…Admittedly, I don’t know what it’s like to have so many depend on me like they do you. But we see you, and we see how you’re struggling. How it’s becoming too much. Maybe it’s time to take a break, Mateo. Just for a bit. You know us, you know we can take care of the inanimals for a while, especially if we all work together. You clearly need a break… I think we all agree it’s your turn to be cared for. And don’t be sorry. All of what you said is perfectly valid and understandable.

*There’s a few near-silent moments as Mateo takes deep, albeit shaky, breaths. After a moment, he looks up to the anons- his friends- and nods, accepting the hug (and their help).*

Th-thank you… all of you.

*And though he is not his usual self, this is a step in the right direction. The first step though? A long overdue nap (maybe with some cuddles).*
