because her dad is an asshole
----------------------------------------------
Holly: You wanna play the big sibling characters so bad? Fine. Give me advice, then.
Matt: uh...
Fumihito: I think you should wear less makeup.
Holly: ... W-what did you just say to me? *starts tearing up*
Fumihito: oh god please don't cry-
Matt: You asked for advice and we gave it, why are you crying-
Holly, now crying silently: i-it's just... no one has ever cared enough to say that to me..
Mimi: You think your dad 'changed'?
Holly: yeah. I realized it when I was 10. That was when I decided change wasn't such a good thing.
Sora: *hugs Holly*
Holly: *tenses* ...
Sora: *lets go* sorry, i should have aske-
Holly: *hugs her* no, I just... I haven't gotten a hug that feels like it's from a parent without ill-intentions in a long time...
Tai: Holly. Just talk to us.
Holly: People change. Everyone leaves. What is there to talk about?
Izzy: Why don't you ever complete assignments, Holly?
Holly: I'm not smart enough. *shrugs* Whatever.
Matt: What's on your arm?
Holly: Stove accident.
Matt: is that the truth?
Holly: yup.
Tai: What was the accident?
Holly: Pan was on the stove. I asked my dad for help. He turned around with the pan in hand, and well. Use your imaginations.
tai: Holly, you never show positive emotions anymore.
Holly: yeah, welcome to reality. here's a reality check, parents get divorced, abuse is real, people leave, and I have no friends. Anything else?
Holly: *freezing droplets of water and throwing them into the lake*
Fumihito: What are you doing?
Holly: *shrugs* Dunno.
Matt: Holly, in all seriousness, are you okay?
Holly: *looks up sadly* am I allowed to say no?
Mimi: Do you need to talk?
Holly: ....
Tai: Holly.
Holly: .....
Sayako: Holly, please talk.
Fumihito: Holly. Please.
Holly, looking up slowly with tears in her eyes: Why doesn't he love me?...
