Summary: Sometimes you can't choose.
The following story is a mere work of F I C T I O N, meaning it is 100% made up. None of the situations described here ever happened, and even if they did, I have no way of knowing. This is not about spreading rumours or, worse, libel. The people portrayed in this story are real, but I am NOT claiming they did what I wrote. I use their "public personas" and build stories around them as if they were fictional characters.
"Don't look at me."
Bela turned round and hurriedly put on a long-sleeved shirt, hissing as the material brushed over the burned skin of his arm.
Farin frowned. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Bela replied buttoning up his shirt. "Just don't look at me."
"It's about your arm, isn't it?"
Bela shrugged. Farin sighed and walked up to him.
"Think of it as just another tattoo."
"This isn't just another tattoo. I chose to wear my tattoos, every single one of them has a meaning. I didn't have a choice with this."
Farin reached out and cupped Bela's cheek with his hand. "Then make a choice now. Choose to be proud of it and show the world you're stronger than death."
