'Closer to Nothing' Therapy?

Instructions

Shadow Milk glanced at Nexus every-now-and-then. He felt pity for him and didn't even know why, but there was just something about him, the way he acted, the way he seemed so frightened over every little thing, the way he just, seemed... and the thing was that he rarely even felt pity, let alone, ever feeling it, he's pitied someone only once before but that quickly backfired. He's never pitied someone since. But now all of the sudden he felt pity for someone he'd only just met. It made no sense to him. He remembered that little girl who he used to feel bad for, who he used to 'pity', she often got bullied at her school. She'd always show up at a specific time then leave at another, then come back for a few hours. She was great fun. A delight to be around. Shadow Milk always enjoyed being around her. She was talkative and sweet. He hated to admit it, he did miss her. One day she came on sobbing, full on sobbing, he didn't know what was wrong, then... she told him... told him everything and he felt so bad for her... then one day, she left, he thought she'd come back like she always did, but not this time... this time, she didn't come back, she never came back. A few weeks later another girl, around the same age as the other girl, she started talking, and what she told me, it devastated me, after what happened that day when she came on sobbing and having a breakdown, this new girl was her friend and she found out that her friend ended her life later that day. I was broken. Hearing that news broke me, Pvc found me later that day and asked if I was okay, I shook my head and we had a long talk. That's when I realized that the same thing was going to happen, once he realized that he told himself he wasn't going to get attached, because if he did, it'd be leaving and never coming back deja Vu all over again. He didn't wanna go through that again. He wasn't. He came back to reality and looked at Nexus and sighed. But the dude looked and acted like he had stage four anxiety + PTSD cancer. He wanted to figure out what was wrong with him, yet he didn't want to get attached, but... he didn't know how. He looked at Nexus again, he was still acting funny, he didn't know why, yet he wanted to know why. That's when Shadow Milk realized that he had gotten so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't realize that they'd been walking for a whole hour. A whole, hour.
