1. INJURY. You've been injured. Broken bones or bleeding out or maybe just a tiny little papercut. The choice is yours.
2. SICKNESS. You're sick and laid up in bed, at home or in a hospital. The severity is up to you.
3. FEAR/ANXIETY. Something is happening and you're scared beyond belief.
4. LOSS OF SENSES. Sight, touch, taste, hearing, smell, etc. You've lost some important sense or ability and now you're left to deal with it.
5. DESPAIR. Nothing is good or right anymore and you can't shake the depression. Maybe that friend of yours can help though...
6. BREAKUP. You've been dumped. You need someone to comfort you, possibly by the one who dumped you.
7. MAKE UP. Fight or break up, it's time to makeup.
8. RESCUED. You've just been held captive and/or tortured for however long and finally, someone has come to the rescue.
9. BAD ROMANCE. Fight, cheated on, abused, whatever the case is, someone else can clearly see you need comfort from someone who isn't your terrible lover tonight.
10. LOSS. You've experience a loss of some kind and need help getting through it.
11. INSANITY. You're seeing things that aren't really there, hearing voices, or you're just convinced you're at your wit's end finally and you're going to crack. Maybe someone can give you a helping hand.
12. TIRED. You've had a heard life recently and you're just worn too thin to really care anymore. There's no fight left in you anymore. Can someone help change your mind?
13. ADDICTION. Drugs, alcohol, sex, gambling, or any other type of addiction has got you in its grasp. First time or relapse. Will someone be able to save you?
14. INSOMNIA. You can't sleep anymore, no matter how hard you try. Maybe someone can give you company.
15. NIGHTMARES. Or, on the other end of the spectrum, you can't sleep without gruesome, horrible nightmares. Either someone is stuck in your dream with you, witnessing it or they're just waking you up, soothing you out of it.
16. BLACKMAIL. You've been caught doing something you shouldn't and you were blackmailed because of it
17. SEPARATION. You're going to be separated for awhile or were separated for a long time. Either make up for lost time or try to spend every last moment together.
18. VIOLATED. You've been violated in some way. Can include sexual overtones or not. Can someone help you through it?
19. STRANDED. You've been stranded somewhere remote, with no help of anyone finding you for awhile. Can you survive this together?
20. SINS. You're feeling the weight of your sins and guilt clearer than ever. Can someone give you absolution or lessen the ache any?
21. SECRET. It's difficult having to keep that secret of yours, be it a relationship or something you just don't want to share with anybody else. Maybe it's okay to talk about it now though...
22. ADDITION. Babies should be joyous things unless you're in a situation where you know you won't be able to care for them. Either you've adopted or found out you're pregnant.

[Kovu can't help the urge to pull away from her touch, the feeling of someone else against him at first freaking him out. Unintentionally, he looks straight at her, his eyes wide. And now she can see what he's hiding - a fresh, deep cut over his left eye, running from his forehead down his cheek.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She sees it, but it only seems to worry her more.]

Kovu...what happened...?

[thescaronhisface]

[Kouv's eyes go wide again as he gasps out a breath. Quickly he covers the cut, by looking away again, letting his thick, shaggy hair fall over his face.]

It...N-nothing. It's just a scratch.

[strengthinkindness]

[Just a scratch nothing. But she can't make him talk about it if he doesn't want to.

Silent for a moment, she then hesitantly speaks up again.]

D...D-Does...it still hurt...?

[thescaronhisface]

Just forget about it.

[His tone is getting colder.]

[strengthinkindness]

K-Kovu...please...I'd just like to help...

[thescaronhisface]

I just lost any chance I ever had of being with the one person who ever made me feel like I'm alive for a reason! What are you going to do to "help?" Give me a hug? Say everything's gonna be okay?

[Even through the harsh words, it's clear he's not angry - he's desperate.]

Well? How are you gonna help me?!

[strengthinkindness]

[She hesitates, watching him sadly.]

...How will let me help you?

[thescaronhisface]

[He sighs, shaking his head.]

I...

I dunno.

[He pulls his legs up to his chest, and leans his head over them on his hands, as if he could hide from everything the world had thrown at him. He sharply inhales as he accidentally touches the cut to his arm, but it's only the brief moment.]

[strengthinkindness]

[She notices it anyway.]

K-Kovu...at least...let me help you take care of those wounds...

[thescaronhisface]

What's the point? Everyone thinks I'm just like him anyway...I might as well look like him too.

[strengthinkindness]

...But you're not like him. He never cared about anyone else before...

[thescaronhisface]

Then why can't I go back there, if I'm so different from how he was?!

[strengthinkindness]

{She sighs softly.] S-sometimes...people don't see when things change...They only see what they know...and think is there...

[thescaronhisface]

...So there's nothing I can do anyway.

[strengthinkindness]

You mustn't give up, though...

[thescaronhisface]

Then what am I supposed to do?

[strengthinkindness]

[She sighs softly.] I-I...don't really know...I wish I could tell you...but...right now...maybe the only thing to do...is try to live your own life...

[thescaronhisface]

I don't have my own life! That was my life, and I barely even had that!

[strengthinkindness]

That was a life put on you...Now you have to find your own.

[thescaronhisface]

How?! I just got kicked out of the only place I had to go!

[strengthinkindness]

I can help you with that...We can find you a place to stay, figure something out...

But I can only do that...if you want it.

[thescaronhisface]

[Kovu's anger subsides, just for a moment, and his head falls again.]

I don't know...if I want anything right now...

[strengthinkindness]

[She's silent for a moment, watching him.]

Kovu...I'd like to help...and I'll do anything I can...But I can only help if you're willing to try. I won't force you into anything...It's up to you...

[thescaronhisface]

[Kovu can't even talk anymore. Everything is just too much right now. He lays his head on his knees again, and tries to hold back tears.]
