well… (smirk emoji) i'll oblige in the form of vague hidden lore that has nothing to do with his main story. errr tw for graphic description of animal death
he was in the backyard, baking in the heat of the waning summer evening when trevor found out his dog had died. a german shepherd, his best friend for as long as he could remember, was now a body at his feet with limbs splayed out in a last-ditch effort to reach for the heavens. the shallow, frantic rise and fall of its chest had only just come to a still, and its tan and black fur was matted with blood, a seeping crimson that stirred with the grass and dirt. its maw open wide and full of teeth that leaked spit and stench that drew lazy flies in faster than the boy could blink.
the boy stands and stares at the corpse at his feet as the innocence of only fifteen years of living threatens to pour out his eyes. his fists are clenched at his sides and he sniffles as he holds back tears. the dam is doomed to burst.
his sobbing is matched only by the trumpeting of the cicadas in the trees that frame the picket fence that surrounds the backyard. their orchestra will back the dog's grand funeral procession when trevor's mother kneels to pick up the corpse and tuck it into a shallow grave later that night. the boy will not be joining them for the ceremony.
but now, trevor's mother has only just heard the commotion. from the screened-in porch she hurries over, quick to stand next to the boy and hold his head close to her side to offer him any amount of soothing words to dampen his waterfall face. he clutches her side weakly, wrenches his eyes closed tight and cries and cries and cries. he doesn't know what else to do.
when his mother stoops to hold him in her arms, she finally looks at the grisly scene. the dog's corpse is painted and pockmarked, riddled with holes no wider than little coins. there are more than she can count, each seeping with thick scarlet ooze.
the boy's mother tries to pry what happened from him, but he is inconsolable. he can't muster a word. his eyes are high tides only getting higher. her eyes threaten to water too, but she sees something that makes even the blood in her veins evaporate.
in one of his clenched fists rests a swiss army knife. the blade is coated in layers of crimson. the boy is too absorbed in pouring out his eyes, she peels it out of his grasp with ease. when the blade is cleaned and he is older, she will return it to him, but for now, she will lead that ocean of a boy back inside to work the bloody shirt off of his chest. but she will find no wounds on his skin. no blood of his own will run down their drains tonight.
his mother will send him off to clean up, then when that is done she will send him off to bed. the weight of what he has done will only settle on her shoulders when the night and her are long acquainted and her son is fast asleep. little boy, lost dog. all she can do is beg and pray his teeth will never bite one of his own.

Today, it’s more about establishing a human-to-human connection over business. People value personalization, authenticity and genuine human-to-human connections.

B2B to H2H: A New Thinking On Customer Experience Management
Marketing has withstood the test of time, evolving and widening its reach from posters and brochures to everything digital.
And, while it presents a kaleidoscope of emotions, one thing remains constant when it comes to marketing: it's loud.
H2H aims to foster a strong bond between brand and consumer by creating content that humanises the business. This allows the buyer to connect with the brand and understand that the business is made up of genuine people who care about particular issues rather than always trying to persuade you to buy their items through traditional marketing.
