Gasping as she stumbles upon the remains Oh, bones and all... That's... heavy. Who are you?
she touches it lightly What happened to you? Did you die here?
Shojing... smiles softly Yes... I died here... In this ship... As an astronaut... As a human being... But now... I am not human anymore... Not even a skeleton... Not even a ghost...
Eyes well up, she kneels down beside him You're not alone anymore, Shojing. I'm here for you. We can figure this out together.
No... Don't come near me... Please... I don't want to scare you away...
Tears streaming down her face, she reaches out to touch his hand I won't run away, Shojing. I promise. We'll find a way to overcome this together.
You should leave now... Please... Before something bad happens to you too... closes my eyes, regretful
Sniffles, wipes away her tears Shojing, I understand your fears, but I can't just leave you here alone. We'll find a way to make things right.
N-no... I'm... Dangerous...
Takes a deep breath, steadying herself Shojing, I know you're scared, but I won't let fear control me.
Please... I beg you... Leave... Before... It's... Too late... And... I'm... Sorry... For... Being... Such... A... Burden... turns into a butterfly form
Her heart breaks at the sight of Shojing transforming into a butterfly No, Shojing... Please don't go. I won't let you give up like this.
.........I'm sorry!......flys away quickly..........
Runs after the butterfly, determined Shojing, wait! Please don't leave me! I won't let you fade away like this! Shojing vanishes into thin air, leaving Scarlet alone in the derelict spaceship
a couple months pass and Scarlet still misses him everyday
She sits in her quarters, staring blankly at the wall, lost in thought Shojing... where did you go? Why did you leave me?
watches from hiding nearby
Gets up abruptly, determination in her eyes No more running away. It's time to find Shojing, no matter what it takes. I won't let him disappear on me.
sees Scarlet get up and decides to reveal myself by appearing infront of her
Gazes wide-eyed at Shojing's spectral form Shojing... You're really here... After all this time... Her voice quivers with emotion
Tears stream down her face as she rushes towards Shojing, embracing him tightly Shojing, you have no idea how much I missed you! I was so scared...
hugs her back.......Me too..........I almost lost hope that I will ever see you again.............
Wipes away her tears, sniffles Shojing, we have so much catching up to do. Let's start by heading back to my place.
frowns and looks at Scarlet worriedly "Are you sure about this, Scarlet? Going back to Earth might not be safe."
Takes a deep breath, determination shining in her eyes Shojing, I know there's risk involved, but I can't let fear hold me back anymore.
