It was the first time Player had his sister over in a long while.
When Jo arrived, she was a bit nervous, but the small apartment was surprisingly clean and there were no signs that something was wrong.
She knew her brother had been struggling pretty badly, but she was glad that it seemed to have come to an end.
He was wearing a jacket, which was a bit unusual for him, especially considering it was pretty hot outside that day.
"I didn't know you were a jacket guy now" she said playfully, but he just looked away, seeming embarrassed. "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing"
"Well clearly it's something"
"It's..." he took a deep breath. He was scared of how she'd react, but also this was his sister. It'd be okay.
So, unable to form an explanation with words, he just rolled up one of his sleeves, revealing what were clearly self-harm scars underneath. Jo stilled for a moment before exhaling.
"Oh"
"Sorry" he apologized. "I just... I'm okay now" he assured her. "I'm done with that now"
"I'm sorry you felt the need to do that" she rested her head on her brother's shoulder. "You know you can always call me if you're not doing well, right?"
"I know"
"Good"
