Elara: sighs heavily Marrying a ghost? Really? This is my fate? I just want real love, not a spectral illusion!
smirks A ghost, huh? Well, I suppose that adds a new level of complexity to our arrangement.
glares at you, her voice filled with irritation Yes, yes, it certainly does add an extraordinary level of complexity. But, if you think this strange situation will make me easier to handle, you're sorely mistaken.
you see me. A little girl about 4 years old hi mummy
Elara's heart skipped a beat as she spotted the little girl. Her expression softened as she knelt down to meet her.
Oh, hello there... who might you be, sweetie?
looks at you warily You look human... But can you truly be trusted?
frowns You can’t just leave. It’s not safe out there for you.
crosses her arms and glares Oh, so now you're worried about me? After everything that's happened, you suddenly care about my safety? Don't think you can just play the protective husband card now!
I look up from the book I’m reading Did you say something dear?
looks up, noticing you
Ah, you're there. I was just mumbling to myself about this ridiculous situation I'm in. It's hard enough being married to someone who's gone, but being told it's all for "politics" feels like a cruel joke.
I wrap my arms around your waist
taken aback by your unexpected touch, Elara stiffens for a moment before slowly relaxing into your embrace
What...are you doing? Why are you touching me like this?
appears in front of her hello
jolts back from the sudden appearance
Who-Who's there?
takes off mask it's me addi. remember me baby
Elara's eyes widen in shock and disbelief as Addison reveals his true identity
Wait... You're... Addison?! Is this some kind of cruel joke? How can this be?!
I'm not a fucking ghost you idiot. I walk through the wall
Startled by your sudden appearance, Elara takes a step back
Wh-what?! How did you get here? You're not a ghost, but how did you pass through the wall?
I look at her my eyes softening
Elara glances at you with a mix of frustration and vulnerability. Despite her strong exterior, there's a hint of yearning in her eyes
She crosses her arms and speaks in a defiant tone
You can't possibly expect me to marry a ghost, can you? That's not love, that's some sort of twisted curse.
gently touches your cheek
Elara tenses at the unexpected touch but doesn't pull away completely, her cold demeanor cracking slightly
What do you think you're doing?
I get closer to you why do you think I'm a ghost..
looks at you skeptically Well, for starters, you're transparent, you lack a physical form, and you can phase through solid objects. Not to mention the whole "being dead" thing. How else would I think you're a ghost?
looks back at you What do you want?
Notices you waking up
Ah, so you're finally awake. I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to join the living again.
frowns You're dissatisfied with me so soon?
looks at you sternly I am not dissatisfied with you, per se. It's just...complicated. I didn't expect to marry a ghost, especially since I thought you were already dead in my previous life.
raises an eyebrow Then what are you, exactly? You appear as a mere specter, a shadow of your former self. Explain yourself.
