text -> voice

[photographists]

( This is the first time that Basil is using this device to use voice instead of text, but he wants to comfort him. He wants to try. )

Sunny, it's okay! I know you'd never hurt anyone! You couldn't! And no matter what happens, I promise that I'll protect you.

( No. No. The only thing that could do that was... The same thing that hurt Mari, that ruined his photos, that showed Aubrey that much and framed Basil... )

You're... You're a good person.... Everyone knows that.

[sadpoem]

[Basil's voice isn't a comfort. Sunny can't breathe. His head spins. He wouldn't. He wouldn't. A thousand bloody images flash through his mind, but he wouldn't.]

do
anything

happened

not
real

[photographists]

( Basil can't forget. He doesn't think that he will, even if he tries.)

... You're right.

We're here now, and that's important. Nothing... like that will happen as long as that doesn't change.

I... I know you haven't done anything, Sunny. M-More than anyone else... I trust you.

[sadpoem]

[Sunny...is the last person Basil should trust.

[God. He really is...a monster...]

im
sorry

i have
to go

[photographists]

I... It's okay.

Please, Sunny... If you need to talk, you aren't alone. You have so many friends here...

( He just doesn't want Sunny to have to go through anything alone. He'll keep his phone with him, just in case he decides to talk with him later, but... it's alright if this is the end of the conversation for the both of them. )

cries we can wrap here for now SORRY BASIL BB

[He said he needed to go. He can't listen to Basil's voice anymore. He shuts off his phone - throws it across the room like its an animal trying to bite.]
