not sorry for that just
i do this thing
where i try to burn shit down before it can happen anyway
i thought i was done with that shit
but i guess i'm not?
guess i'm still kinda a mess
and i'm sorry

[ All that, then just: ]

yeah, okay

[hackeo]

[ Somewhere she's rolling her eyes, because, ]

i know that's what you meant

[ Just, you know, she isn't the best with real feelings and apologies herself. (Sound familiar, South?) ]

that's ok too
so is being a hot mess, you're allowed to be
ugh i just don't want to fight with you anymore, ok?

[ownperson]

i don't wanna fight with you either
despite being an angry bitch i don't like fighting with people i like
just suck at stopping myself
apparently
but i'm not gonna starting yelling again
promise
not as fresh now and i've slept like less than 8 hours in two days so

[ She doesn't even have the energy to start arguing, honestly. ]

[hackeo]

i mean u can yell if u want, just not at me
see? and u wonder why i'm here to tell you to go to sleep already

[ Says little miss I'm Not Tired after refusing to sleep for weeks for a while there, but you know. ]

you want to borrow one of my teddies? señor oso is still there and he's not haunted anymore, he's a good snuggler

[ownperson]

if i felt like i could sleep i would
this happens sometimes its whatever

[ It happens when wherever she sleeps is too quiet for her to feel comfortable sleeping. Guess who still doesn't like admitting that! ]

i don't think i've ever even had a stuffed bear

[ South babe that is not an answer. ]

[hackeo]

ok fine just idk
don't burn yourself out

[ Sombra will be back soon, which means there'll be noise again soon too, at least. ]

ay qué, really?
lame
arturito's been with me since i was little
he helps me work and sleep and feel better when i'm sick
take señor oso for the night and see

[ownperson]

even if i do i'll just crash after
then i'll be fine
y'know for whatever measure i'm gonna be fine for
a while

we just never had much money for toys
think i played with the same truck my entire childhood
but alright alright i'll try it

[hackeo]

i still have some weed sara gave me when i couldn't sleep, you want some of that too?

[ And for a moment there that seems to be all she's sending - before finally, after months of being contracted, friends, living together, Sombra finally decides to open up. Just a little, with, ]

when i was little, after i lost everything and everyone, humanitarian relief gave me arturito
he's all i had, too
every night i looked at his little overwatch patch and his cute little face, and i didn't feel so alone anymore

anyway u can always snuggle me later too, offer's still on table

[ownperson]

mmmmmmmmaybe?
god when the fuck was the last time i got high...

[ Oh she does not expect a Sombra lore drop right now. ]

no wonder you love the teddies so much
man
i mean. they're definitely a lot cuddlier than a truck

and so are you
we'll see. i don't wanna cry on you that'll just risk starting this mess over
really suck at letting people see me cry

[hackeo]

for you amiga, i'm very cuddly
also ok soooooooooo, in that case
what if i just don't look if you do cry?? no peeking, promise

[ownperson]

what if tears get like
ON u tho
can you resist complaining

[hackeo]

😩
ok i do like complaining but this time i'll hold off, just for you

[ownperson]

the sacrifices you make, huh

[ She's almost smiling. ]

[hackeo]

ha ha
you should feel special amiga, i don't make sacrifices for everyone
only my cutest friends 💜

[ownperson]

you're about the only one who can call me cute and it not sound totally ridiculous and yet
but don't worry. i know i've got special privileges

[hackeo]

you do!! not many can say that
but also ok listen
if you still need to cry it out before i come home, señor oso keeps all sorts of secrets

actually
you can hold onto him and cry into his fur for as long as you want, ok?

[ownperson]

i said i'll give it a go
how long is as long as i want here

[hackeo]

as long as you want is as long as you want
i'll ask for him back if i need him
otherwise,
he's your little friend now 🐻

[ownperson]

[ ...fuck that's sweet coming from her, isn't it. ]

thanks
promise i won't fuck him up somehow

[hackeo]

[ Giving her one of her most special bears? Yeah, Sombra wouldn't do that for just anybody. ]

ty
it's ok if he gets a little fucked up, though
duckita showed me how to patch him up properly

[ownperson]

[ Deep breath. Scrubs her face with one hand. She still doesn't want to start crying. ]

course she did
still. don't want to make you need to use those skills

[hackeo]

c'mon amiga don't worry so much
you have a new snuggly friend and your old snuggly friend (me) will have breakfast for you in the morning 💜

[ownperson]

literally incapable of not worrying rn just
for the record
but okay
breakfast in the morning

[hackeo]

ok well try not to think about worrying
think about breakfast
also these puppies 🐕🐕🐕
