dialogue: Bruce: How are you, Deb?
  Bruce: Maybe that's not the best thing to ask but... I'm worried about you
  Debra: Hi, Bruce
  Debra: Yeah, I'm... so-and-so, I've had better days
  Bruce: /hug
  Debra: /hug
  Debra: It's just that... mum is still unemployed and so am I, I'm trying to find something but it's not that easy
  Debra: I have no job experience and they usually want that...
  Bruce: Ah :(
  Bruce: That's so stupid, really, coz where are you supposed to get experience if everyone wants you to have experience already
  Debra: Yeah...
  Debra: Mum isn't in the best shape either, dad's death really took a toll on her and she's not young any more, so I don't know if she'll be able to find anything
  Debra: Sometimes everything feels really hopeless...
  Debra: Sorry, I'm not the best person to talk to these days
  Bruce: What are you talking about?? It's fine, I know you've been going through a rough patch
  Bruce: I wrote coz I really wanted to know how you've been, you don't have to force yourself to act happy
  Debra: Thanks, Bruce
  Debra: I'm not sure I can express how much I appreciate the fact that you're here for me
  Bruce: Don't mention it
  Debra: No, it's a big thing to me... Actually, not too many people have talked to me recently, so I was a little lonely
  Debra: I think I might cry, I'm sorry
  Bruce: Oh no, please don't cry :( I'm here
  Debra: I know... it's not entirely bad tears, it's also because I'm happy I have you
  Debra: I'm just kind of emotional
  Bruce: /hug
  Debra: Thank you, really
  Bruce: You know you can call me any time, don't you
  Debra: Yeah...
  Debra: I think I should eat something... thanks for writing to me, I'm feeling a little better now
