Maybe...try to pretend to be Bruno, just for a minute or two. When you know someone really well, you can usually do an impression of them, right?
Even if it feels silly, just do it when no one else is around. But try to pretend to be him, as hard as you can. Because I think the thing that makes us all similar, the three of us who you think of as strong, is that we're all a little crazy in the way that we hope.
I should've given up after one year, two years, five years, ten years of waiting. Mr. Avdol should know better than to think he can change history. And maybe Bruno should've known better than to think that anyone could ever go after your boss. So try to be him, just for a few minutes, and see if that helps you figure out what it feels like to hope for something like that.
im really only good at pretending to be him if someone else needs me though i kinda try to think of what he'd do if someone needs help like mista or trish
ha see you're so strong sorellina. all of you
but i'll try. even when i knew it was hopeless, i knew i'd never turn my back on him. and i wouldn't turn my back on you or mohammed either.
I mean really pretend to be him. Stand like him, do an impression of his voice, all that. I know it sounds ridiculous, but just try it that way. Humor me?
Anyway, listen. It's okay to be scared. And it's okay to make mistakes. Please don't be too hard on yourself about what happened. Right now, what matters is that you don't let it keep you down.
...Maybe that's your brand of crazy hope. "Fall down seven times, get up eight".
oh my god i did not share how weird he could be huh whenever he was interrogating someone he'd freak them out and say that he could tell if they were lying by licking their sweat pretty sure it was fake
That's so grooooooooooooss! Ugh, the kid I used to babysit for was just like that, too. I remember one day I spent the whole afternoon making him spit out BUGS because he kept trying to EAT THEM. Uuuuuuuuuugh.
Well, as long as you try again one time more than the number of times you fuck up...?
I mean...I guess that's...good? It'd be hard if he were elegant on the outside AND on the inside. I don't have a lot of memories of him but I do remember him seeming awfully perfect, honestly.
