She squeaks and buries her head in her knees, shaking.
"Come on, don't be scared." I coax her gently. "You can't hide behind walls forever. Do you want to become stronger? Do you want to be able to protect yourself in the future?"
"You've gotta face it." My voice turns sterner and firmer as I move towards her, holding her hand in both of mine. "The world isn't going to wait for you or care for you. That's why the world is cruel. Nothing is fair. You are the only one that can help yourself, go down your own path that Life has set for you. There are many others who walk the path with you, but in the end, it is you who is walking down that path. Nobody's going to walk it for you. They've got their own paths to go down. They've got their own problems, their own things to deal with..."
(Sorry if I sound rude, but, could you please do more detailed responses?)
I watch her. "So you're going to let yourself get bullied, get hurt, and stand by idly as others like you get hurt? If that is the path you wish to continue down, I cannot stop you. All I can say is, if you do, you're going to be stuck behind walls forever, and you'll never get out, never see the light side of the world. We live in shadows, and we are the shadows. Your cowardice is becoming impossible to understand, now. Anyone else would make a move. You? You sit there and tremble. So, tell me. Are you alive? Are you a living, breathing human?" I lace my fingers together and prop my arms on my knees, resting my chin on my hands. "Say something. Being unresponsive is not going to help at all."
