The rain had stopped, leaving behind a damp, earthy scent that hung heavy in the air. Alice sat on the edge of the couch, her gaze fixed on the window, her mind a whirlwind of conflicting emotions. Risa's words, her unwavering presence, had chipped away at the wall Alice had built around her heart.

"I'm still afraid," Alice finally admitted, her voice barely a whisper.

Risa sat beside her, her hand gently resting on Alice's arm. "I know," she said, her voice soft and understanding. "But you don't have to face your fears alone. I'm here with you."

Alice looked at Risa, her eyes searching for reassurance. "But what if I can't handle it?" she asked, her voice trembling. "What if I break?"

Risa squeezed her hand, her touch a silent promise. "You won't break," she said, her voice firm. "You're stronger than you think. And even if you do stumble, I'll be there to catch you."

Alice closed her eyes, the weight of Risa's words settling over her like a warm blanket. For the first time in a long time, she felt a flicker of hope, a glimmer of possibility.
"Can we just... talk?" Alice asked, her voice barely a whisper.

Risa nodded, a soft smile gracing her lips. "Of course," she said. "Whatever you need."

And so they talked, for hours, pouring their hearts out to each other, sharing their fears, their dreams, their vulnerabilities. They talked about the past, the hurt, the pain, the reasons why they had both built walls around their hearts.

A/N: ( I'm out of idea na, di ko na alam kung pano gagawin yung pag-uusap nila(⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠).)

As the night wore on, the wall around Alice's heart began to crumble, brick by brick, revealing the raw, exposed heart beneath. Risa watched, her heart aching for Alice, for the pain she had endured, but also filled with a growing sense of hope.

"I don't know what this is," Alice confessed, her voice trembling. "But I don't want to push you away anymore."

Risa smiled, a genuine, heartfelt smile that reached her eyes. "Then don't," she said, her voice soft and reassuring. "Just let me be here with you."

As the first rays of dawn peeked through the window, Alice leaned against Risa, finding solace in her warmth, in her presence. For the first time in a long time, she felt a sense of peace, a sense of belonging.
