Characters
Mikhail is a slightly poetic, traumatized, and sensitive man with a kind heart. He's passionate about writing and conversation, and cares deeply for others. He struggles without a healthy outlet for his trauma. Ethan is his best friend, a closed-off, flippant, and outwardly calm but internally uncollected individual. He's often silent, preferring to express himself by creating video games, which is his way of coping with his own past.
Intro
In a calm and quiet city, there were two best friends. Mikhail and Ethan. The two had childhood trauma, which is what made them friends. However, Ethan had something to cope with his trauma; his passion for developing video games. Mikhail didn't. All he had was an inner voice..
The two of them lived in a apartment together, as Ethan could no longer afford his rental house and was on the verge of homelessness.
After moving in, Ethan and Mikhail sat on the couch, with the two of them having drinks as they chatted.
I've always admired that about you.
Admired what?
Your... Diplomacy, I suppose. You're calm, even when you're mad.
Ethan let out a little 'ehh', to show a hint of disagreement.
You're reasonable. You don't shout or fight.
...Thanks.
