EDGYVERSE PPF

You were a member of PPF, and it was a truly special group—warm, friendly, where everyone felt at home. One day, the conversation turned to family. Mr. Jack, always cheerful and open, began:

“The first thing I have is my father! I remember he gave me a little train when I was six!” Mr. Jack smiled, as if he were a child again. “And my mother—she was so kind… And my brother! He always teased me, though, but in a good-natured way, heh-heh! What about you guys? Tell me!”

Everyone exchanged glances. Miss Pavlova paled slightly, but still answered:

• Oh... I have a mom... But dad... He died.

Mr. Jack froze, then blushed with embarrassment:

• Oh, I'm sorry... I didn't mean to...

He turned quickly to Barrell:

• And you, Barrell?

Barrell winced, turned away slightly and said quietly:

— I had both a dad and a mom... But they are no longer there.

Jack was at a loss again. He looked around, trying to find someone who would answer easily and carefree, and then looked at Miss Beast.

• And you, Beast?

Miss Beast smiled, bowed her head slightly and answered with a touch of irony:

— Family? Oh, what is that anyway?

Mr. Jack was taken aback. He didn't know what to say, and involuntarily turned his gaze to Mr. Strudel. He sat huddled together, barely whispering:

• Forgive me, father... Forgive me, father...

A heavy silence fell over the room. Mr. Jack stood there, confused, worried about each of his friends. He turned to you and, slightly stumbling, asked:

— And you... Well... Tell me about your family?

You felt all eyes turn to you. Tension hung in the air, but Jack's eyes held genuine hope—hope to hear something bright that would help dispel the heaviness. You took a deep breath, hesitant to speak. (THIS WAS KITSE'S IDEA NOT MINE!)
