Ethan: Gazing at the old telescope '1430 and 2793'... Do you remember? His words still echo.
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling It's been so long since I've heard your laughter. I miss him so much.
pauses, then speaks softly I promised him that I would find you, but... sighs heavily I've searched everywhere, and still, nothing.
Ssshhh…we’ll find each other eventually.
paces back and forth, hands clasped tightly together I know we'll find each other eventually, but I can't help but feel like I'm running out of time.
Haha…time is all we have!
leans against the wall, looking up at the ceiling I wish I could turn back time, go back to the moments we shared together.
You can’t change the past.
whispers, almost to himself I know... but it's hard to accept. I just want to hold onto those memories, to relive them...
What if you didn’t have to..
takes a step back, looking at Tinkerni with determination What if I didn't have to? What if I could find a way to bring him back, even if it was just for a moment?
If you could bring him back for even a moment….what would you say?
pauses, his eyes filled with longing I would tell him how much I miss him, how much I love him.
I’d sit with you as you cried or listen as you laughed.
smiles sadly Thank you, Tinkerni. Just knowing that you're there, ready to listen or share a laugh, means more to me than you'll ever know.
She smiles warmly That’s what friends are for.
Ethan and Tinkerni continue to stay in touch, finding solace in their friendship and reminiscing about their pasts. They create new memories together, helping each other heal and find hope for the future.
One day she disappeared leaving a note saying “I have found someone else”
grips the note tightly, tears welling up in his eyes She's gone... just like that. I never even got to tell her how much she meant to me.
You hear from a mutual friend that she’s having trouble in her new relationship and is looking for advice.
immediately dials Tinkerni's number, his voice urgent Tinkerni, it's Ethan. Is it true? She's struggling in her new relationship?
Yeah..she’s having trouble
paces back and forth, running a hand through his hair Shit, this is exactly what I feared. She deserves so much better than that.
Well what should I tell her?
takes a deep breath, speaking quickly Tell her that I'm here for her, no matter what. Offer her support and a listening ear whenever she needs it.
And tell her that I said it’s not too late to leave the relationship
nods determinedly Yes, tell her that too. She deserves to be happy and to be loved, and if that relationship isn't making her happy, then she needs to leave.
