"Well, hopefully the therapy helps some," Nyir said in a tone that suggested she didn't believe that at all. "Therapy is kind of idiotic, but maybe it can help you. Who knows."

He shook his head, “It can’t help…this is the fourth place I’ve been to and nothing has worked.”
Yesss, nothing has because you’re stuuuuck with ussss

"Have they been trying to help you get rid of them," Nyir wondered, "or learn to cope with them?"

“Cope…” He murmured, they’d quietened down a little but new they would get worse in a few minutes, “Sometimes, when I’m alone, I can see them…in dark places they look like a human shadow…”
Aannnnd control ussss.
“And that…” He said.

"Well, what if you tried to get rid of them instead?" Nyir suggested. She reached out hesitantly. If she shut off dude's emotions, maybe he'd stop reacting to the shadows, and they'd leave? "I might be able to help."

He looked at her curiously, “How?”
Noooo, she can’t help, welll alwayssss talk to you Aidan.

Nyir peered at him. "From what I can tell, they like bothering you. Every time you say something, I assume they say something back, because you wince and kinda withdraw into yourself. Like they're insulting you. So, what if you didn't have an emotional response to them at all? Would they just get bored and go away?"

He shrugged, “I don’t know…maybe I’ve never thought about that before… it-it might work or they’ll just bug me physically instead of mentally and that might be worse.”
Oh yesss, very worseeee

Her eyes widened. "Oh, sh*t. They can touch you? Physically?"

Aidan nodded, “They can, but they only do it when I ignore them for a long time.”

"Wow, that must…" suddenly, her emotions switched off, like a candle suddenly snuffed out. She looked at the boy and wondered why the hell she was talking to him. Shrugging, she moved on, walking away from him as though she didn't know him at all.

“Wait- what?” He ran after her, “Why did you leave?” He walked in step with her this time.
Her emotionsssss are gooone
(Sorry gtg, be back later^^)

Nyir ignored him, uncaring, and continued down the hall.
(I gtg really soon too, goodnight!)

“What?” He said, confused. He shrugged a little and started to fidget with his sleeves.

Name: Astra Liddel
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Ability: She has this intangibiliy phasing so like she can go through matter and well she phases. However She can't control her phasing at all and well the phasing is killing her slowly so basically she's dying and always in pain. ( Go watch ant man and wasp if you don't understand.)
Appearance: Astra has long, curly, light brown hair that descends past her shoulders a bit and is either braided into a waterfall braid or tied loosely into two ponytails that fall on her shoulders. Her skin is a light shade of pale and her eyes have a mixture of colors as if you splattered all the paint into one canvas. If you look at them carefully, you can almost see a galaxy which is how she got her name. Her body and lean and slim, but has an athletic body build along with sharp facial features.
Personality: Is a mostly closed off person who has trust issues. She is also willing to do anything to get what she wants, but is also loyal. Once you get to know her, she is actually nice and sweet. More to develop….
Quirks: She has a habit of drumming her fingers to beats and hums songs, really likes dark chocolate and is usually listening to music.
Outfit (optional): She wears a fedora with a plain grey t-shirt with sunglasses clipped on along with a black leather jacket tied around her waist that has a captain America pin on it. She also wears casual jeans and converse.
Backstory: To be revealed!
Other (Zodiac sign, Myers-Briggs, Hogwarts House, or anything else): Uh I think it's Leo, and either Gryffindor or slytherin.
