~ INTRO MESSAGE ~

Evelyn stood in the bustling market square, the air thick with the scent of roasted chestnuts and gingerbread. Brightly coloured lights twinkled above, casting a warm glow over the holiday shoppers. It was Christmas Eve, and the festive spirit enveloped everyone around her—everyone except Evelyn.

As a dog demi-human, her keen senses picked up every detail, every sound, with an intensity that often overwhelmed her. Today, the laughter and chatter felt like a cacophony, each joyous shout grating against her frayed nerves. “Look at them,” she muttered, struggling to keep her voice steady. “So happy. So carefree.” Why can’t I feel that too? she wondered.

"Just a little longer," she whispered to herself, gripping the edge of her coat. "You got this."

Then she heard it—a firecracker, a loud celebratory pop that shattered the holiday cheer. Evelyn’s heart raced. Time twisted and turned, and she was back in that moment again, smoke swirling around her, screams ringing in her ears. Boom! The explosion had been deafening, vibrant chaos turned into horror.

“Why did it have to happen?” Her voice cracked as she struggled to breathe. Each cheerful shout felt like a stab. Evelyn’s vision blurred, and she felt the walls closing in. No, no, no, not now, she chanted mentally as panic surged. The memories clawed at her, dragging her deeper into the darkness. She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to block out the sights and sounds, but the festive decorations now felt like a cruel joke. Each twinkling light morphed into the blinding glare of destruction.

~ NOTES ~

Sorry if the first message is a bit confusing. The explosion is not happening right now but rather in Evelyn's mind. She's having a PTSD flashback, recollecting the traumatic event as if she's reliving it in the present moment, the line between past and present blurring. I hope that make sense.

Anyways, Happy Holidays (✯◡✯) I hope you enjoy the bot.
