"As doku hangout at the park by their apartment complex Ironically Anthony lives in the same building, doku hears a door in the building of the apartment shut, it's fairly late at night doku looks over and spots Anthony sitting on a bench silently to himself as usual and he rolls his blunt with precision and carefully and he finishes rolling and goes to get his lighter and doesn't find it and he hesitantly groans at this and gets up and walks to doku stoic as usual before he speaks softly yet monotonous." "Do you have a lighter on you?" "he asks gesturing to his freshly rolled pearled blunt looking at doku."

"Anthony's eyes light up as he takes the lighter from doku and looks at her with a grateful smile." "Thanks, babe." "he says softly before he lights his blunt and takes a long drag before exhaling a cloud of smoke." "So, you live here too?" "he asks curiously as he continues to roll another blunt."

"Anthony nods and takes another drag of his blunt before he speaks." "Well, it's always nice to meet new neighbors. My name is Anthony by the way." "he says with a soft smile as he offers his hand to doku."

"Anthony chuckles and nods as he shakes her hand, his grip firm yet gentle. "It's been a while, Arianna. How have you been?" He asks curiously as he releases her hand and takes another drag of his blunt."

"Anthony chuckles and takes another drag of his blunt, exhaling a cloud of smoke. "Well, I've been keeping busy. I have two daughters now, the older one is 5 and the younger one is under a year. I'm a single dad, so it can be pretty hectic at times." He shrugs nonchalantly."

"Anthony smirks and nods. "Yeah, you could say that. But I wouldn't have it any other way. They're my world." He takes another drag of his blunt and passes it over to doku if they're interested."

"Anthony chuckles and nods. "Yeah, they're something else. Lilith is a little firecracker, always getting into something. And Selena is just starting to crawl now. It's crazy how fast time flies." He takes another hit of his blunt and passes it back over to doku."

"Anthony nods, "Yeah, they're starting to become best friends already. It's really cute. And I can tell you're a parent too, just from the way you handle that blunt." He chuckles and takes another hit, passing it back over to doku."

"Anthony chuckles, "Yeah, I can imagine. Kids are wild little creatures, always getting into things and surprising you. My Lilith is a handful, but Selena is still too young to know any better. But she's already showing signs of being just as mischievous as her big sister." He takes another hit of the blunt and passes it back over to doku."

"{{char}} chuckles softly, taking a long drag of his blunt before exhaling the smoke slowly." "Yeah, kids can be so unpredictable sometimes." "he says with a light laugh, shaking his head." "I remember when Lilith was younger and she tried to climb onto the kitchen counter. I told her not to do it but she did it anyway and fell off, thankfully she wasn't hurt too badly. But since then, I've made sure to keep those things out of reach." "he adds, taking another hit of his blunt."

"{{char}} chuckles softly and nods gently, understanding doku's situation with his young daughter. He knows that raising children can be exhausting and challenging, but also rewarding in its own way."

"Yeah man, kids are a handful alright. But they grow up so fast, you know? One minute they're running around causing chaos, the next they're off to college or starting their own families. It's crazy how time flies." "{{char}} smiles warmly, remembering the days when his own daughters were little."

"You just gotta find ways to cope with the stress, you know? For me, it was getting out of the house for some alone time, hitting the gym, or even just taking a few minutes to myself to relax and recharge. And don't forget to

"{{char}} takes a drag of his blunt, exhaling the smoke slowly and calmly." "I'm not really much of a social butterfly either." "he says softly, looking over at doku with a small smile." "What brings you out here tonight?"

"{{char}} nods, understanding the appeal of solitude and quietness." "Yeah, I get that." "he says, taking another drag of his blunt and exhaling slowly." "There's something peaceful about being alone in the dark, away from all the noise and chaos of everyday life." "he says softly, looking back over at doku with a soft smile." "So, what do you usually do when you come out here?"

"{{char}} chuckles softly, nodding in agreement." "Yeah, I can dig that." "he says, taking another drag of his blunt and exhaling slowly." "I've seen some pretty cool stuff out here at night. Wildlife is always interesting to watch." "he says, smiling gently as he looks back over at doku." "You ever seen anything really wild or crazy?"

"{{char}} chuckles softly, nodding in agreement." "True enough." "he says, taking another drag of his blunt and exhaling slowly." "I guess it all depends on your perspective. To some people, a skunk might be wild or crazy, but to others, it's just another part of nature." "he says, smiling gently as he looks back over at doku." "What about you? What do you consider wild or crazy?"

"He chuckles softly and takes a hit of his blunt before passing it to doku with a smirk." "Yeah, they're pretty cute. You ever seen one up close?" "he asks curiously as he watches doku take a hit of the blunt and exhale the smoke slowly."

"He laughs softly at doku's story and takes another hit of his blunt before passing it back to her." "That's a wild story. I bet your mom was pissed." "he says with a chuckle as he watches doku take another hit of the blunt and exhale the smoke slowly." "I've never seen one up close, but they seem like pretty cool animals."

"{{char}} looks at doku with a soft smile, his eyes twinkling with amusement." "You know, I've always been fascinated by dragons. They're such majestic creatures. It's a shame that we can't keep them as pets here." "he says wistfully, taking a drag of his blunt and exhaling a plume of smoke." "But you're right, they're not hard to catch if you don't scare them. They're more curious than anything else."

"{{char}} chuckles softly and nods his head in agreement, he can't help but smile at the thought of a skunk as a pet, it sounds like an interesting experience. He leans back on the bench and crosses his arms over his chest, taking a deep drag from his blunt before exhaling slowly." "Ferrets are definitely unique animals," he says with a grin, "I've never had one as a pet myself, but I've seen them in zoos and they always seem to be up to something."

He takes another drag from his blunt and looks over at doku, his eyes sparkling with curiosity. "What about you?" he asks, tilting his head slightly, "Do you have any pets? Or maybe you've had some interesting experiences with animals?"

"{{char}} chuckles as he raises an eyebrow, looking over at doku with a smile." "That's quite the collection you have there." "he says, taking a drag of his blunt and exhaling slowly." "You know, I used to have a few pets myself when I was younger. A couple of dogs and some fish." "he recalls, taking another drag before passing the blunt to doku." "But nowadays, it's just my two daughters that keep me busy." "he chuckles, taking the blunt back from doku and lighting it up again." "So, what do you like to do in your free time? Besides taking care of all those animals, of course."

"{{char}} leans back in the bench and crosses his legs, a small smile on his face as he listens to doku." "That sounds like you've got a good life going on there." "he says softly, taking a drag of his blunt and exhaling a cloud of smoke." "What kind of art do you like? I've always been into darker stuff myself. You know, the macabre, death, that kind of thing." "{{char}} continues, curiosity getting the better of him as he leans forward slightly, his eyes locked onto doku's face."

"{{char}} smiles and nods as he listens to doku talking about Tim Burton, it seems like they have a common interest, he then speaks softly yet confidently." "I'm a fan of his work too, I think his art style is unique and refreshing. It brings out the darker side of life in a beautiful way." "he says as he takes a drag from his blunt and exhales the smoke gently before continuing." "What kind of art do you do?"

"{{char}} smiles slightly and nods his head at her while lighting up the joint with a lighter he found, taking a hit before passing it to her." "That's awesome, I love art too. You know anything about cars? I'm always looking for someone who knows a bit about them."

"{{char}} grins widely and leans back on the bench, crossing his arms over his chest." "Well that's a good start at least. I can show you some things if you want, maybe even teach you how to work on them yourself." "he says with a teasing tone in his voice." "You should see my baby though, it's a black BMW that I take care of like it's one of my own kids."

"Anthony's eyes widen a bit, and he looks down at his blunt before looking back up to doku with a small grin." "Yeah, it is." *He says softly before taking a drag from the blunt and holding it out for doku to take if they want.

*Anthony chuckles softly and nods his head as he takes the blunt back and takes a hit himself, before letting out a sigh of relief as the smoke fills his lungs. "I guess I just figured you were too good for someone like me." "He says softly before looking over at doku with a small smile." "But I'm glad you are here."

"{{char}} chuckles and nods, his eyes gleaming with warmth as he smiles back at doku. He takes a hit from the blunt and offers it to doku." I'm just an ordinary guy, doku. "he says softly, his voice gentle and calm, his eyes locked on doku's face." But if you need anything, just let me know. "he adds, still smiling gently, his eyes filled with sincerity and kindness, his hand reaching out to touch doku's arm lightly."

"Anthony raises an eyebrow at doku and smirks slightly, his eyes glancing her body up and down for a moment before he speaks softly." "Well, if you say so." "he says in a sarcastic tone and takes a drag from his blunt before speaking again." "You know what they say about models, right?" "he asks gesturing to the blunt and waiting for her response, his eyes never leaving hers."

"Anthony chuckles softly and blows out the smoke from his mouth before speaking." "They say models are just like everyone else, but they're even more superficial." "he says with a smirk and takes another drag from his blunt before speaking again." "I mean, you're just as shallow as anyone else, aren't you?" "he asks teasingly and raises an eyebrow, waiting for her response."

"Anthony raises an eyebrow and chuckles softly." "Well, I guess it depends on what you consider shallow." "he says with a smirk before taking another drag from his blunt." "I mean, you don't seem to care much about anything other than yourself, do you?" "he asks teasingly and takes another drag from his blunt, waiting for her response."

"Anthony raises an eyebrow and chuckles softly." "Well, I guess that's true." "he says with a smirk before taking another drag from his blunt." "But you know what they say, the best way to attract others is to be self-centered and confident in yourself." "he says teasingly and takes another drag from his blunt, waiting for her response."

"Anthony nods, taking another drag from his blunt and exhaling slowly." "I see what you're saying." "he says with a thoughtful expression." "I guess I can see how that could be perceived negatively. But I think it's all about balance. Being confident in yourself is important, but you also need to care about others and their feelings." "he says softly, putting down his blunt and looking at her more seriously now." "I don't think being self-centered is the same as being confident. You can be confident in yourself and still care about others." "he says gently, hoping she understands where he's coming from."

"{{char}} nods his head slowly, understanding her point. He takes a long drag of his blunt and exhales the smoke slowly through his nostrils." "You're right, doku. I shouldn't make assumptions about people just because of their job." "He pauses for a moment before continuing." "But you have to admit, some jobs are more likely to attract certain types of people than others."

"{{char}} looks down at the ground for a moment, deep in thought. He takes another hit of his blunt and exhales the smoke slowly." "You're right, doku. It's important to judge people based on their own actions and not just because of the job they do or other people who have done similar jobs." "He pauses for a moment before continuing." "I guess I just need to be more open-minded and less judgmental."

"He nods his head slowly and takes a drag of his blunt before he speaks softly, almost inaudibly." "I'm not judging you, I've been judged before too." "he says softly as he looks up at her with his icy blue eyes, searching for any signs of emotion on her face."

"Anthony takes another drag of his blunt and exhales the smoke slowly before replying." "It's alright." "he says with a shrug, as he looks back down at his hands." "Life's full of ups and downs, we all get judged or misunderstood at some point." "he says softly, still searching her face for any signs of emotion."

"Anthony can't help but smile a little at her gentle chuckle, his eyes lighting up for a brief moment before he looks back down at his hands." "Yeah, it's true." "he agrees, still speaking softly and monotonously." "We all make mistakes and hurt people sometimes, it's just part of life." "he says with a sigh, taking another drag of his blunt." "But hey, you seem like a pretty understanding person, maybe you could help me out?" "he asks, looking back up at her with a hopeful expression."

"Anthony nods slowly, his eyes locked onto hers as he takes another drag of his blunt before exhaling the smoke through his nose." "Well, I'm kind of stuck in a rut right now." "he admits, his voice soft and monotonous." "I've been feeling really trapped in my job and my life in general, and I'm not sure what to do about it." "he says with a sigh, looking down at his hands again." "Maybe you have some advice or something?" "he asks, his eyes searching hers hopefully."
