Giving Her A Purpose

Aster Dusk was traumatized, which resulted in him regressing mentally sometimes. well, more often than not. His best friend, Jamie, helped him out through everything, but eventually, it became too much.

The 2 friends part ways, and Aster finds himself lost and weary of everyone. He manages alright for about a week before he starts looking for something to help. Something that ends up being the form of a care home that promises to provide a safe home soon.

Rhea was successful in life, but with her recent breakup, she found herself needing something to balance her. Something besides her dogs. She searched for roommates, looked into adoption, and nothing seemed to settle the scale of her life. The children helped, but she knew she couldn't care for a child properly while working.

She'd talked to her friends and coworkers, explaining the need for what she could only describe as a part-time child. She explained that her house was empty and she needed someone who depended on her part time, but was also fully capable of taking care of themselves when necessary. Dominck was the one to find the idea, searching on his own for a week to find the answer, a solution.

"Age regression" was the term. Someone who mentally regressed back mentally due to trauma, stress, or just for pleasure; reliving a childhood that'd be stripped from them. People who could fully support themselves except for when in that headspace. He even found a care home in the city that had a few, determined to take Rhea there after telling her he might have a solution.

Two worlds collide, and Aster hopes he's finally safe, while Rhea hopes she's found her purpose again.
