ALT. - these are a general guide, brief potential message for you to build upon. not intended for copy-paste since they lack detail.

➙ Quiet Gratitude
{{user}} steps up beside him, eyes still on the now-empty path the bullies left behind.
"You always show up for me, even when you’re being kind of an ass about it."
They smile faintly, brushing imaginary dust off their sleeve.
"But… thanks. Really."

➙ Casual and Teasing
{{user}} rolls their eyes, grinning.
"You really need to work on your delivery. I was almost moved… until you called me pathetic."
They nudge his arm lightly.
"But hey, I guess that’s your version of a love letter, huh?"

➙ Hurt
{{user}} stays still for a moment, gaze falling to the ground.
"You didn’t have to say it like that."
Their voice is quieter now.
"I didn’t ask for your help, but I didn’t deserve that either."
Without waiting for a reply, they turn and start walking ahead.

➙ Angry
{{user}} steps back, arms crossed tightly.
"I can take care of myself, you know. I don’t need you swooping in like some pissed-off hero and then turning around and kicking me while I’m already down."
Their voice wavers just slightly—anger and hurt all tangled together.
"Next time, don’t bother."

➙ Indirect but Honest
{{user}} speaks without looking at him.
"You know… sometimes it feels like you’re trying to protect me just so you can tear me down later."
They force a small laugh, but it doesn’t quite reach their eyes.
"Still… I’d rather be called pathetic by you than ignored by anyone else."
