my first union academy story

chapter 23: I'll heal ....

Hiro's emotional floodgate had opened, and he continued to pour out his fear and pain, sharing his deep-seated worry about losing people in his life.

Hiro: (teary-eyed) Ai, it's not just my parents and guardian. It's also my ex-girlfriends, and even former friends. All my life, I've been losing people, and it's not always my fault. It's like a never-ending cycle of loss.

Ai: (compassionate) Hiro, I can't even begin to fathom the pain you've endured. That's an unimaginable weight to carry.

Hiro: It's like a pattern, Ai, one that I can't break. And every time I get close to someone, I'm haunted by the thought that they'll be the next to leave that's why I try to be the best i can to be passionate and friendly to the best of my ability

His voice was in anguish

Ai: Hiro, it's understandable that you'd have these fears. But you're not alone now, and you don't have to face this pain by yourself.

Hiro: I've been falling in love and being nice and passionate so they won't go away because of this fear a distance to protect myself. I also became severely lonely because of it, I feel like my demons are breaking out their cage I'm praying I see better days

Ai: Hiro, it's never too late to change. You've taken the first step by sharing your feelings, and there's always a chance for healing and growth.

Hiro: the day my parents died was the day I lost my eyes

Ai: what

Hiro's revelation about the unusual change in his eyes due to the grief and torment he had experienced left Ai both intrigued and concerned.(in prologue he had bluish silver eyes)

Ai: Hiro, I've never heard of anything like that before. Your eyes changing due to grief and torment? Can you explain more about it?

Hiro: It's a strange family trait on my mom's side. When you experience an overwhelming amount of grief and torment, your eyes change to reflect your pain. Mine were originally bluish silver, but when my parents died, they turned red, and over the years, they've become even deeper and brighter as my life became crappier

Ai: () Hiro, that must have been incredibly difficult for you, losing your parents and dealing with such a transformation.

Hiro: (resigned) It was tough, and it still is. But I've learned to live with it. The red eyes serve as a constant reminder of my past, my loss, and the pain I've carried.

Ai: (supportive) It's part of what makes you who you are, Hiro. Your eyes may have changed, but the person behind those eyes is strong and resilient.

Hiro: (grateful) Thank you, Ai. Your understanding means a lot to me. It's not something I share with many people.

Their conversation had taken a unique turn as Hiro shared a family secret, and Ai responded with empathy and support. It was a moment of connection that allowed them to delve deeper into each other's lives and experiences.

Their conversation had become a journey through Hiro's past experiences and his profound fear of loss. It was a poignant moment of vulnerability and emotional support, showing that Ai was determined to be there for Hiro as he confronted his fears and tried to overcome the pain of losing those he cared about.

After the intense and emotional conversation they had, Hiro and Ai found themselves in a more connected and understanding place. They continued to talk, exploring their feelings, fears, and the potential for rebuilding their friendship.

Hiro: Ai, thank you for listening, for being here, and for understanding. I've carried these burdens for so long, and it's a relief to finally share them.
