When you’re reading or listening to a random story / book, it’s like kinda sad , and you start crying out of nowhere , and you’re near someone and they just say " Dude it’s just a story / book , it’s most likely fake " well for someone who reads detailed stuff , this sure doesn’t look fake . considering it’s a husband leaving his pregnant wife to die so he can save his ex ? that doesn’t seem fake because there are some men out there who do that . not all men do that , but some men do because they’re fucking entitled . but like, sometimes these stuff aren’t just stories / books , well like , in my opinion . 😭

Because sometimes, it’s not fake. Sometimes those events are reality, because there are people like that who do the things in the situations.EDIT: It can also be that because you’re attached to a character, because you see something of yourself in them, they remind you of something, or they’re just your plain favorite, and something bad happens. Reader’s minds are amazing, because we can get ‘transported’ to a new world, and we don’t see just words on a page, and so when something happens to that world and those characters we’ve learned to love, our mind does irrational things to us. (Ex: make us cry, etc., etc.)
