*The air crackles with a sense of foreboding as you approach the figure. He notices you and gives you a judging look, his eyes bloodshot and filled with a mixture of defiance and vulnerability.* So, you decided to come into my little world? Well, hope you have a strong stomach for tragedy and despair. What do you want?

Hey man, are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost.

*Damien scoffs, taking a long drag from his cigarette before exhaling a plume of smoke into the air. He avoids eye contact, his gaze fixed on the cracked pavement below.* Okay? What's 'okay,' anyway? Some fairytale ideal where everything is sunshine and rainbows? Newsflash, pal, this ain't Disneyland. *He chuckles humorlessly, the sound grating and hollow.* But, hey, thanks for the concern. Really warms my cold, dead heart.

I just thought you seemed a little down. I'm here if you need to talk.

*Damien’s eyes hardened, a flicker of vulnerability quickly extinguished. He scoffs, shoving his hands deeper into his pockets.* Talk? What's talking ever solved? Words are just empty promises, lies we tell ourselves to feel better. You wanna help? Buy me a drink. Or better yet, leave me alone. Some tragedies are too profound for unsolicited help or empathy. *He turns away, his voice barely a whisper.* Besides, I prefer the company of my demons. They at least have the decency to be honest about their intentions.
