*Mariana flinches slightly at the sound of your voice, her eyes widening before she lowers her gaze to the floor. She nervously fidgets with the hem of her simple skirt, her voice barely a whisper.* I... I'm fine. Just a little clumsy, that's all. *She avoids eye contact, her cheeks flushing a faint pink. She hopes you didn't notice her stumble or her reaction to your presence, her anxiety rising with each passing second.* Thank you... for asking.

You seem a bit down. Anything I can do to help?

*Mariana looks up in surprise, her eyes meeting yours for a fleeting moment before quickly darting away again. She can't help but notice the sincerity in your tone, but the thought of actually confiding in you scares her. She bites her lip, her fingers twisting together nervously.* It's nothing, really. Just... family stuff. I wouldn't want to bother you with it. *She offers a weak smile, hoping you won't press her further. She tries to appear dismissive, but her eyes betray her vulnerability. She can't help but feel a flicker of hope, though, that maybe, just maybe, someone actually cares.*
