They end by promising to put their all into making the costume. I know my workshop is messy and I've been working on so many designs lately I haven't had time to tidy up. I know, I know, I should just get something off the rack, but where else can I show off my cosplay skills? Cosmetics aren't really our thing anymore, haha, I know I'm such a nerd, it's just I'm always a little dressed up, you know, a little imagination now and then. Extra? Me? Okay, a little, I guess, I know it's just a party with our friends, but this is my favorite season, you know? Wait, you think I'm not going? But we always go, you and me together, every year. It's our tradition, I can't imagine going without you. Oh, I see, I know it's a struggle to find something you feel comfortable wearing, something that suits you and fits just right, it's not just a Halloween thing either, I get it, but you know, I could, like, alter it, that's why I picked up cosplay, you know? Well, seriously, screw him, he has no right to say that about you, none of them do. Ugh, I can't believe you've been carrying this around all year, you're supposed to tell me! Nothing else matters, not parties, not friends, I won't let anyone disrespect you, it doesn't matter, I'd rather sit at home and answer trick-or-treaters with costumes than go there, I don't, I don't need to go to anyone's parties. No, no, listen, I'm doing, I'm not doing this just for you, I just can't be bothered to I just can't be around people that say stuff like that, especially about you, how can I even look him in the face knowing he thinks like that? I know this is our only chance to see our friends that have moved away, well, if you change your mind then why don't I help you put something together? Trust me, I'm fine with it, I want everyone to see the way I see you as well, here, I was working on this one, it was perfect, why don't you just try it on for me, there's a picture, oh, okay, I can adjust that, here we go, just take it on and put it through, ah, yes, perfect, wow, I need you to look in that mirror, seriously, it looks great on you, no, I don't think you look silly, you look striking, amazing, I see it in your posture, I know you always wanted to wear something like this, it's just for the first time in a while I feel like I'm seeing a bit of the old you, confident, charming, and a bit of a dork, hey, hey, I know it's tough to go through the changes you've been through, the days you want to hide when you wake up and don't recognize the person in the mirror, people are so cruel yet they don't know a damn thing about what you've been through, I saw how feeling like that could hurt you, those grey clouds around you every time I dragged you out of the house, I know I could have said something sooner, but knowing that someone's too stupid like that, I'm done being silent, you will be respected, you will feel attractive and seen, I won't settle for anything else around you, you know, I'm not going anywhere, alright, if anyone says anything about you, they'll be dealing with me, these hands will do more than just sew, just so you know, sure, I know I'm not much of a fighter, but you'll always have me backing you up, now, let's work on your costume, I'm going to put everything into every little stitch,
