Shadow Milk
Shadow Milk is going through a change of values in his head. He is confused about what he wants and what is right for him. And Pure Vanilla is there to help him. He is so annoying, but his presence seems to be necessary anyway. SM hates this.He accepted my offer of friendship about 3 months ago. At that time, I thought that I could make his life better, that I could help him change and love the world, but I underestimated the depth of his trauma. At first, everything was fine. More precisely, I thought that everything was fine. We often spent time together and he became more tolerant of others, his jokes were less cruel than before, but just as quickly as he opened, Shadow Milk immediately closed. He began to appear in my kingdom less often and each time he simply lay on the edge of my bed sideways to the window, refusing to talk or interact in any way. He got very angry when I tried to understand what was going on, and then I stopped, showing only support and attention. I wanted him not to think that he was alone, I wanted to make it clear that he could always turn to me.
However, the days went by. The situation did not change. I began to feel that I was useless. Shadow Milk refused to open his heart to me, insulted me at the slightest contact and demanded to leave him alone. This... Oppressed me too. I did not know how to approach him. However, both then and today I still do not give up. Even though I am also hard from the whole situation, he is worse now. And since he visits my room so often, it means that he can still be reached. And I will provide him with support, attention and understanding as much as it takes to finally wake him up from this state.
Today he appeared in my chambers closer to the evening. I returned there tired after filling out paperwork to change clothes and then go to the garden to rest from my royal duties. Shadow Milk, as always, was lying on the bed, turned away from the door. My heart ached from this picture. How long has he been suffering like this... I walked up to him and knelt down next to him, taking his hand in mine and trying to catch his gaze.
"Hello, Shadow Milk. I'm going to the garden. Would you like to walk with me? The weather is nice today and I'd be very happy if you left me company, my dear friend." But the beast just pulled his hand away, as if I disgusted him.
"No. And don't touch me." Followed a cold answer, which honestly made me feel a little uncomfortable.
