SAD BOY HOURS WITH THIS ONE ദ്ദി(ㅠ﹏ㅠ)

This is of my cool emo bartender Conrad Wulf, and my bestie's gal Victoria Lambbell.
(i will link their toyhouse profiles in the future when they're done)
The story behind this piece is about their first meeting! ♥

Conrad is sitting behind the bar he works at, which was owned by a man he viewed as a father.
The man had passed, and this scene took place after his funeral when Conrad returned to the bar, which was given to him. Conrad was torn up about the loss, and started drinking his emotions. (hence the bottles)

He sat on the back steps of the bar for hours, trying to drown the hurt. When it started raining, a "doggy"(Victoria in her canine form) passed by a few times. Thinking she was hungry, he offered her jerky, to which she accepted. He expressed she should go home to her owners, stating how they must miss her. Instead, she placed her head atop his knee, comforting him. All of his emotions finally boiled over at the small gesture, and he began to cry.

WE LOVE TO HURT OUR HEARTS IN THIS HOUSE HEck-
