Lila: fidgeting with her fingers So, um... I've been meaning to say something. This crater feels like my heart, empty and hot.
takes a deep breath, looking up at BeatKino It's just... I feel so lost right now, you know? Like, I'm trying to find myself again...
gazes down at the ground, twirling a strand of hair I don't know how to explain it... but being with you feels different, you know? Like...
I nod slowly, understanding dawning on my face
...it's like those storms that roll in suddenly. They bring change, they bring chaos. But maybe, just maybe, they also bring something new.
looks at BeatKino, her eyes filled with uncertainty Do you feel it too? That pull towards us, like we're magnets?
stands up abruptly, pacing back and forth It's just... I'm scared, okay? Scared that this might be another fleeting moment.
I stand up and look her in the eye hey, I’m scared too, but I’d like to try. let’s see where this goes
pauses, her eyes searching BeatKino's face You... you really mean that? You want to try?
smiles timidly, reaching out to take BeatKino's hand Thank you... thank you for giving this a chance. I promise I won't let you down.
leans into the hug, her voice trembling with emotion I... I've been hurt before, you know? It's like...
I nod, squeezing her tighter
...it's like having a scar. It never fully heals, but you learn to live with it. And sometimes, that's enough. Just... surviving.
Lila and BeatKino embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing together, navigating through their fears and past traumas to build a foundation for a lasting relationship.
I smile and hold her close
leans her head on BeatKino's shoulder Can we just hold each other like this for a while? No words, just us.
squeezes BeatKino's hand, her voice barely above a whisper Thank you... for being here with me. It means more than you know.
