// Doctor's Appointment / Spoken / Location: Therapist's Office
Mylo: I don't feel like a bad person, I just... I feel like my family would think I am.
Dr. Mel Brown: You seem to have a lot of baggage pertaining to your father in particular. What was He like?
Mylo: Kinda overbearing. Wasn't crazy about me coming out as nonbinary.
Dr.B: That must have been taxing, you're father not approving of your gender identity.
Mylo: Yeah...
Dr.B: Why do you think He didn't approve?
Mylo: Maybe He was just worried about people not accepting me. That's what I'd like to think, anyway.
Dr.B: Are you worried it was something else?
Mylo cries blood.
Dr.B: Do you need a tissue?
Mylo: I don't know if those are big enough...
Dr.B: I'll hand you a couple from the box.
Dr. Brown takes a handful of tissues and hands them to Mylo.
Mylo: Yeah. I worry about a lot of things.
// A night disturbed / Spoken / Location: A Saint Petersburg apartment
A loud crashing noise is heard in the kitchen, Mylo goes to investigate
Mylo: Hello?
A winged figured is seen hunched over by the fridge. Mylo yelps
Ekko: Hon...
Mylo: Oh! It's jus- laughs Sorry!
Ekko: Sweetie you're absolutely fine, I was the one who startled you.
Mylo: No, you're ok, I was just worried.
Ekko: Worried?
Mylo: Yeah.
Ekko: That's an odd choice of words. Are you ok, buddy?
Mylo: Oh, yeah I've been fine. Just... thinking about stuff.
Ekko: Miss home?
Mylo stares at Ekko silently. They relocate to Mylo's room.
Mylo's room: Red tears stream down Mylo's eyelid.
Mylo: You don't know what it's like, Ekko...
Ekko: I'm sure I don't, my father didn't withhold love.
Mylo: He never withheld love, just... affection.
Ekko: Funny idea of lov- Sorry, I know you're relationship with you're dad is... complicated. I should be more empathetic, leave my own families generational baggage aside.
Mylo: Thank you. I love you, Ekko.
Ekko: I feel fortunate to you're friend.
Mylo: Yeah... me too.
Ekko leans on Mylo. Mylo moves all four wings around the Hellbat
Ekko: Mind if I fall asleep here?
Mylo: No, I'd love that.
Ekko: Hrrmm... Thanks bestie.
Ekko's drifts off to sleep, they are both silent for the remainder of the night, aside from sleep-talked gibberish
