No one's POV
Currently, Nhzual and Ann are at a diner hanging out and Ann spoke up.
Ann: So I talked to Shiho about what happened with Mika back at the photoshoot...and you know what she did? Laughed she couldn't stop talking about how though Mika sounded. Honestly though...it's kinda refreshing. I'm not even mad a anymore. I guess I really need someone laugh at you if you want to feel better.
Nhzual: Why didn't you ask me, I would've laughed at you.
Ann then started blushing and looking away , saying something under her breath.
Ann: Yeah...I rather not have the guy I like laughing at me...
Nhzual: Huh?
Ann: Nothing, nothing! Anyways, they dat laughter is the best medicine! I've seen the truth first of seeing that firsthand...But anyways, even though I'm strengthening my heart, Shiho's the real strong one here. I went to one of her counseling sessions the the other day...She said she wanted me to be there...
Nhzual: And how did that go?
Ann: It ended up being really overwhelming...
Nhzual: How so?
Ann: It was a lot tougher then I'd actually ever imagined...They were asking her so many uncomfortable questions, questions I feel like I wouldn't be able to answer in fear of remembering what he did...but she answered all of them. I honestly wanted to make her stop...by the time she answered them all, she was in tears. It was really tough on her...She said she wanted to stop...And that's why she asked me to come...To keep her motivated. The whole time she complaining about things in ways she never would...But even with that, she finished her session.
Ann then wiped the tears from her eyes.
Ann: I..I don't know why I'm crying...I didn't have to go through that...Is it because I'm weak...?
Nhzual: Ann, you're not weak. Far from it.
Ann: Then why can't I stop crying..? You know, even though all that pain , thought Shiho was so cool...beautiful, even. Despite all her complaining, she still tried incredibly hard. Strength is more then just not getting fazed...It's the power to fight through adversity. So I was thinking, and um...what can I do help Shiho?
Nhzual: Well, I think you should show her your own strength.
Ann: Yeah...You're right. I should show her I'm trying to be strong as well.
Ann then looked at Nhzual and smiled.
Ann: You know Nhzual, being with you really helps me see things clearly. What should I do, the true meaning of strength...thanks for that. I'm really glad that you're my friend.
Nhzual: No problem.
Nhzual then smiled at Ann and she couldn't help but blush.
Ann's thoughts: He has such a pretty smile.
