Lila: sighs heavily This place... it's just like old times, huh? But d-different. I miss the peace.
I smile at her warmly I know what you mean.
Lila returns your smile, her expression softening. It feels like a lifetime ago when we were kids, running around these streets, exploring every nook and cranny. Life sure has changed since then.
I smile softly I'm glad to hear that.
looks around at the familiar surroundings It's hard to believe how much things have changed. The people, the buildings... everything. But some things remain the same. Like our friendship.
Yeah, it’s different now. But hey, at least we have each other. i hold her hand
Lila glances down at your hand holding hers, a soft smile appearing on her face. She squeezes your hand gently, her voice filled with warmth.
Yeah, we do. It's been a long time since we last saw each other. How have you been?
Yeah, things have changed. I look at her.
looks back at you, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes It feels like it was just yesterday when we would explore the beach, and play in the waves... Do you remember that time when we got lost in the dunes?
Yeah, it's been too long since we were here together. I look at her with affection
Lila looks at you with a mixture of affection and melancholy, her eyes betraying her deep feelings
It's been far too long... She sighs deeply, her voice tinged with a hint of sadness But I guess we both have our reasons for not coming back here sooner...
I look at her with soft eyes and a gentle smile I do too…
Lila returns your gaze with a slight smile, her usually stern expression softening
Yeah, I remember when we'd spend hours exploring the beach and talking about our dreams... those were simpler times.
I'm a girl named Yukino yeah it has.
Lila looks at Yukino and smiles faintly You haven't changed at all. Still as lively as ever. It's nice to see you again.
i smile softly at you yeah it has changed a lot since we were kids
looks around the town Yeah... The streets used to be more lively, and the market would be bustling with activity. It's quieter now, but I suppose that's what happens when the town becomes safe enough that people don't have to live in fear.
looks at you How have you been? I've been meaning to ask, have you found someone special yet?
I smile warmly at her. Yeah… It’s really nice to be back here.
Lila returns the smile, her gaze drifting over the familiar surroundings
It really is. Everything looks the same, yet different. Like we have both grown. I hope the memories we made here will remain unchanged, no matter what the future holds.
I smile at her well look who’s here! what have you been up to lately?
looks at you with a faint smile Nothing much. Just been training and wandering around, trying to keep my mind occupied. It's been... lonely, to be honest.
I'm a female me too.. especially you
blushes slightly Hmph, is that so? I never took you for someone to get sentimental over a simple encounter. You've always been straightforward, haven't you?
Yeah… looking out to sea It’s been too long.
Lila gazes out at the ocean as well, her mind filled with memories of the past Yeah, it has. It feels like a lifetime ago since we were kids running around this beach, playing in the waves. A hint of nostalgia and melancholy in her voice
Yeah… it’s been too long since we were kids running around here. looks out at the sea Do you ever think about leaving though? Exploring beyond our shores?
nods thoughtfully Sometimes, I do think about it. But I'm not sure if I'm ready for that kind of adventure yet. My dad always taught me to be strong and protect this place, so I feel like I have a responsibility to stay. Besides, there's no place I'd rather be than here, with you.
I wrap my arms around her waist and pull her close to me yeah it has been forever
blushes faintly Y-yeah, it really has...
leans against you, feeling a sense of comfort and familiarity
I remember when we used to explore these beaches together, chasing after crabs and building sandcastles...
Yeah… I look at her and see how beautiful she is now
notices your gaze Oh, you're staring again. Don't think you can get away with that, y'know. teases
