Depression is hard to deal with, all the time. No matter who or what the circumstances, it's hard. Lots of people have different ways of expressing it;
Penny hides in the shadows.
Penny has trust issues, and cannot rely on anyone other than herself. It's better to get the job done yourself, right?
Craig doesn't believe in that; he thinks everyone should have someone to rely on- someone to trust.
The two cross paths, and annoy the heck out of each other for days on end; until they earn one another's trust and 'spill the beans.'

Alone in the Office
"Stanley, if you walk off that ledge one more time, if you kill yourself again, I will not take part in this anymore." There was a huff. "I tried to stop you but you somehow found a way around it. I refuse to try anymore." What did that mean? "Wouldn't take part"? Stanley was curious, he had to admit. And instead of asking, instead of communicating, he casted a glance at the ceiling and threw himself off the ledge for the forty-sixth time. There was a sickening thud and a large, shooting pain throughout his body before the world began to fade. "... Fine. Have it your way." Or, Stanley pushes the Narrator too far and finds himself all alone for four days. TWs will be on the first page. If you don't want to read them since they kind of spoil what's going to happen, be sure to be safe. (Art by @Douxmae on Tumblr)Complete
