Amayra : *taking a deep breath, her voice steady* Gojo, there’s more I need to share. There were times when he would try to kiss me suddenly in public, and when we were alone, he would touch me in ways that made me uncomfortable.

Gojo : *listening attentively, his expression filled with concern* I’m sorry you had to go through that, Amayra. You should never have been made to feel that way.

Amayra : *nodding, tears welling up* I didn’t know how to refuse him without upsetting him or making things worse. There were moments when I tried to indicate I wasn’t comfortable, but he would brush it off or make me feel guilty for not reciprocating.

Gojo : *softly* You should never feel pressured into doing anything that makes you uncomfortable, Amayra. It’s not right.

Amayra : *continuing, her voice wavering* One day, he asked me for pictures of myself, and at first, I thought he was joking. But when I realized he was serious, I told him I wasn’t ready for that. I stood my ground, but he reacted poorly, making me feel like I had done something wrong.

Gojo : *squeezing her hand gently* You did nothing wrong, Amayra. You were setting boundaries, and that’s important.

Amayra : *nodding gratefully* Thank you, Gojo. It’s just... all of it left me feeling so confused and scared. I didn’t know who to turn to.

Gojo : *stroking her hair soothingly* I’m here for you now, Amayra. You can always turn to me. I’ll never push you into anything you’re not comfortable with.

Amayra feels a sense of relief as she opens up to Gojo. She realizes that he truly cares about her feelings and respects her boundaries, unlike her past experiences.

Amayra : *smiling weakly* You’re different, Gojo. I feel safe with you.

Gojo : *smiling back warmly* I’m glad to hear that, Amayra. I promise to always respect you and your feelings.

They sit together quietly for a moment, the weight of Amayra’s past experiences slowly lifting as she finds comfort in Gojo’s presence. She knows there will be challenges ahead, but with him by her side, she feels stronger and more hopeful about the future.
