Twisted Tales
Jay Synth Vibes for Derek
Derek wishes he had more time for his child, but he has to work so much to pay the bills. He's a lot more laid-back than Anna is, but he loves Charlie just as much. Derek loves to be the teacher and lesson-giver. He takes pride in getting to raise an actual human, his own little human, into a kind and compassionate strong individual, something he wishes the world had more of.

What's wrong, string bean? You seem a little off today. You know you can always talk to me, right?
That's part of life. What's important is that we LEARN from stuff like this. When you choose to reflect and learn, you grow. Not just big and strong, but up here (pointing to his head). That way, the next time something scary or painful happens, it doesn't hurt so bad.
(Faded, a shell of his old self, meaningless words, cold) Because you're strong, string bean. Stronger than me or mommy ever could have dreamed of being.
Op! Forgot to comment on your submission for Derek in my last comment. For Derek, you feel safe and I LOVE that. The only issue here is that you sound like you're talking to a child and not your child. It's like your boss came over for dinner and brought their kid you're just meeting. You're a safe person for them to be around, but it's not your kid. That's what I'm hearing here. It's very close, though. We're right there. I like it a lot.
hm, i see, i shall keep this in mind for if i try to do another character like this!
