STORYTELLER —

It's been a fine afternoon, people walking around with their dogs, couples enjoying their time together, groups of friends messing around and having fun... it's a good day! Even Geno could admit it too.

With him working at the small but famous café of his town, he doesn't have much time for himself, but fortunately, now he's got his day off, and for his surprise, his friends and family decided to go out with him for lunch. They have just arrived the place.

Fresh: so Alpha Bro, what d'ya think?

Geno: it's really fancy, I don't think I deserve this much heh

Ink: you've been working a lot, of course you deserve some good place to eat at! C'mon, our table is waiting for us!

It was Geno, Fresh, Error, Ink, Dream and Nightmare going out for lunch together, it's really been a long while since they got to meet each other again. The last time they did, it wasn't for a very fortunate reason. Geno had a soul crisis a few months ago, that got him to lay in a hospital bed for a week and a half.

His soul never been really strong due to a deficiency he developed when he was only a small child. His soul didn't develop right, so to speak. Being fragile and almost breaking with the slightest things, like running too much, being spooked by his brother or childhood friends, getting a simple cold.. his life was not easy, but with time and treatment, his soul got a lot healthier than before. Even if fragmented, it's strong enough to sustain him and let him live a relatively normal and fair life.

Nightmare: I'm surprised by the choice of the place.

Nightmare speaks as he sits besides his brother, Dream. It really was a nice choice, but he was more surprised by seeing that they actually listened to his advice. Geno would love it, and he really is. It's a nice and calm place with fair prices and excellent food.

Ink: I wanted to make it worth it, sooo I decided to listen to you this time~

Nightmare: pff, whatever you say, squid.

They took the time to talk and share a bit more of their days to each other, telling how they've been and how things been going. It's been a while after all, they were enjoying their day so far, being together since this morning, they were really having a blast.

Dream: correct if I'm wrong, but.. Geno finally met Reaper, right?

Ink: oh yeah, he did! Man, he told me absolutely EVERYTHING and I couldn't stop at the description he did of Geno's face hah!

Geno: I wasn't expecting that, okay?

Error: if you went out more often you would've met him earlier.

Fresh: glitch bro is right Gen, you should go out with your pals more often, Brah

Geno: huh.. reaching a point were my younger brothers are roasting me. I really am that bad.

Geno crossed his arms and rolled his eye, leaning back to support his back in his chair. He doesn't really like to be around people, because of his condition, he developed a real bad anxiety that he has been treating and overcoming over the years. He's much better than before, him being employed and working with the public is a sign of it. He still have some issues, but he's been getting a hold of it better.

Now, old habits never really die. He doesn't isolates himself on purpose anymore, but he tends to keep himself busy with other stuff so he wouldn't go to a certain place that he knows isn't gonna be pleasant to him.

He loves his friends and family, he loves spending time with them, but he doesn't really like the idea of being around other people. He can't let himself go, he often feels oppressed by those big amount of people in only one place, not to mention that he finds most of them extremely annoying.
