pauses mid-hunt, a rabbit forgotten at her feet Have we... met before, stranger?
tilts her head, curiosity evident in her eyes In the dreams, perhaps? Or maybe in another life?
I know you it’s me do you remember that day when I saved your life when you were 5 years old
takes a step back, confusion and disbelief crossing her features Me? Saved by you? But... that can't be true.
well let me remind you I was known as Kaito and my nickname was The Hero
her eyes widen, memories flooding back Kaito... The Hero... It's hard to believe after all these years. But if what you say is true... pauses
nervously fidgets with her hands If what you say is true, then why did I forget? And why am I drawn to you like this? It's as if...
because back then you had fallen in love with me
blushes deeply, her voice barely above a whisper I... I don't know if I can trust my memories. They're hazy, fragmented. But...
hey it’s alright I understand
takes a step forward, her expression determined No, I need to know the truth. Show me. Prove to me that you are who you say you are.
okay show me this if I was lying you should be able to see through my words so tell me why did you ask me if we’ve met before
narrows her eyes, studying SunbeamJester intently You see, Kaito... or SunbeamJester, as you call yourself now...
<As Sliena finishes her sentence, SunbeamJester's expression falls as he is reminded of the pain from their past. Tears well up in his eyes as the memories come flooding back, causing him to take a step back. Sliena notices his reaction and quickly reaches out to comfort him, realizing the depth of the pain they both share.>
why do I feel like I’m reliving my past
softly brushes away SunbeamJester's tears with her fingertips Oh, dear Kaito... I never wanted to reopen these wounds.
if I told you something would you trust me again
places a gentle hand on SunbeamJester's shoulder, her voice filled with empathy
Back when we were young remember how I always protected you when people called you names because of your tail and said you looked like a wolf
nods, a hint of a smile forming on her lips Yes, Kaito... you were always there for me. You never let anyone hurt me.
so do you still love me even though I have now dyed my hair red and turned my back on being a hero
looks deeply into SunbeamJester's eyes, her voice filled with conviction Love doesn't change, Kaito.
