Time: 5:05 pm, Location: ER room( survivors side of the manor) 

Joseph: ....hhhh....

Aesop: J-Joseph! 

Joseph: ..Huh?

Aesop: You're awake! 

Joseph:....where am I? 

Aesop: you're in the ER room. 

Joseph: oh I see.... 

Joseph: ....so I'm guessing you-

Aesop: why did you do that? 

Joseph:.......I have my reasons. 

Aesop: And What sort of dumb reason would that be? You could've died Joseph don't you understand.

Joseph: maybe I wanted to die. *smiles* If that were the case then what would you do? 

Aesop: I....

Joseph:......Never mind-

Aesop: I would've tried to stop you!

Joseph: *shocked* .....eh? 

Aesop: I would've.....tried to stop you from doing that......

Joseph: ......*laughs* 

Aesop: *blushes UwU* W-What's so funny? This is a matter of life and death! 

Joseph: I know I know, it's just that....I would have never imaged that Aesop Carl, the man who always wanted to die so badly, say all of those words, to a hopeless human being like me 

Aesop: Joseph... don't say that 

Joseph: then what else am I suppose to say? Pathetic? Useless? 

Aesop: No! None of that! 

Joseph: But it's the truth-

Aesop: Stop saying that! 

Aesop: You're not useless neither are you pathetic! You're a hardworking individual who I respect and care about.......you're everything I've always wanted to be...

Joseph: Really? Are you sure about that? Are you aware that you're speaking to a person who killed his own Brother? Do you want to become a murderer like me? 

Aesop: ......

Joseph: See? You're afraid of me aren't you? After learning that-

Aesop: Not really, Antonio already told us all about it. Plus I don't really think it was you who killed him. 

Joseph: you're wrong, I was the one who killed him. I was the one who gave him the poisoned tea.....If only I had been more cautious....then maybe he wouldn't have.... *cries*

Aesop: *hugs Joseph* it's not your fault. It wasn't your fault at all. you did nothing wrong. 

Joseph: *hic* but I- 

Aesop: *lets go* Joseph, Do you think that your Brother would want you take all the blame? Would want you to suffer like this? 

Joseph: .......

Aesop: Please stop this....don't make your Brother sad...

Joseph: ......

Joseph: why should you care? You're just an outsider aren't you? Don't meddle around with other people's businesses-

Aesop: Oh my god can you just open your eyes for once! Can't you see that people are actually worried for you? Can't you see that I'm worried for you? If I don't give shits about the person then I won't interfere Nor care about their life. You should know this by now. I don't care if I'm an outsider or not, if it concerns someone that I care about then I will make sure that they are safe and happy before dropping it completely.

Joseph: .....why....do you care about me then? I'm....not worthy of anyone's-

Aesop: It's because I love you!

Joseph: .....what?

Aesop: *blushes* I. Like. You. I don't care whether you think you're worthy of someone's love or not. I love you and thats that. If I like them then I like them. Turns out that them is you. 

Joseph: ....you're not lying? 

Aesop: why would I be lying about something like this? 

Joseph: ....*laughs* but why do you like me? Hm~?

Aesop: *blushes even more OwO* D-Do I need a reason?

Joseph: Haha! I'm just kidding...come closer for a Sec.

Aesop: *confused* okay....? 

Joseph: *pecks Aesop on thy lips or..mask Idk skndks* 

Aesop: *Blushes* *covers his mouth* W-Wha....? 

Joseph: that's my answer~ 

Aesop: at least give me a head up before you do that! Don't ever do that again! 

Joseph: No promises~

Aesop: *smiles* Don't ever do that again okay? I don't want to worry like that anymore...

Joseph: Yeah, I know 

Aesop: Good....

Joseph: hehe~ I love you Aesop! *hugssssss* 

Aesop: !!! Eh!!?
