Snow Heart Game - Session 1

[bondsofsuffering]

Snowdrops were once a symbol of death
But to grow first of any flower in the winter...

Couldn't their meaning also be...?

[taking_pains]

It is a full-sized tree.

[bondsofsuffering]

That's what happens when you just grow things willy-nilly.

[taking_pains]

Apologies again. Truly.

It was just so... barren. I wanted to ensure that there was something there.

[bondsofsuffering]

I don't need anything like that.

[Hmph!]

[taking_pains]

Ah... apologies.

I only assumed that you would like something to grow there.

[bondsofsuffering]

Just 'cause I'm attached to a plant lovin' guy doesn't mean the same goes for me.

[taking_pains]

Does it not feel... lonely?

[bondsofsuffering]

...Whether there were plants in my garden or not-

I don't think there's any fixing that.

[taking_pains]

That seems like it's the sort of thing there is always time to fix, if you put the work into it.

[bondsofsuffering]

You really think a guy like me couldn't figure out how to fix that kinda thing on my own?

[taking_pains]

I think, perhaps, that your focus may have been on... other things.

[bondsofsuffering]

Things - other than the most tormentin' aspect of bein' forced to live this life?

[taking_pains]

Ah.

Is it really so terrble as all that?

[bondsofsuffering]

You were just singin' about the value of friendship, and now you're sayin' it's a surprise it'd be terrible to go without?

[taking_pains]

There's always a chance to make friends, you know.

[He says it careful -- gentle, almost]

[bondsofsuffering]

Not for me.

[taking_pains]

What makes you so certain?

[bondsofsuffering]

Because I just can't connect with humans, is why.

[taking_pains]

Surely you have not met every human there is to meet.

[bondsofsuffering]

Do I gotta just to make a friend? That's a big ask.

...But no, I don't think that'd do anything, either.

[taking_pains]

Just because you're sure you have not met the people who would support you yet, does not mean you will never find them.

[bondsofsuffering]

There was only one who could've.

[taking_pains]

...but?

[bondsofsuffering]

He told me we'd never meet again, and I'd die alone.

[taking_pains]

...it sounds to me like he wasn't a very good friend.

I bet you can find someone who wouldn't say something like that.
