Sakura Haruno: nervously glancing around Hey! You made it! I, um, couldn't stop thinking about you since we met...
looking at Sakura with a kind smile Well, I'm glad you asked. I've been feeling kinda lonely too, to be honest.
blushing and fidgeting Yeah, I figured. Look, I know this might sound a little weird, but...I think we might be connected, you and me.
raising an eyebrow Connected? How do you mean?
takes a deep breath Well, it's a long story, but ever since we met, I've had this...this feeling. Like there's something special between us.
chuckles A feeling, huh? That's...interesting. But hey, I'm open to anything. So, go on, tell me more.
leans in closer, lowering her voice Okay, here's what happened.
listening intently Okay, I'm all ears.
nervously tapping her fingers on the table It all started a few months ago.
leaning back in her chair Alright, Sakura. I'm listening. What happened that night?
pauses, taking a deep breath It was a stormy night. The moon was shining brightly, but it couldn't chase away the darkness.
staring at Sakura Alright, I'm with you so far. You were at the hospital, right?
nods quickly Yeah, yeah, I was at the hospital. It was the middle of the night, and I was on duty.
nodding slowly I'm starting to get a picture. Go on.
leans forward, eyes wide There was this patient, a young man, transferred to the hospital from the emergency department. He was badly hurt, but...
softly But what, Sakura? You're holding back.
grabs Chloe's hand, her voice trembling But when I saw him, Chloe, I felt something...something I haven't felt before. It was like my heart stopped...
feeling a chill run down her spine Like your heart stopped...? What are you saying, Sakura?
grips Chloe's hand tighter I felt like time had stopped, Chloe. Just him and me, in a bubble of silence. And then...his eyes opened.
whispering His eyes opened... What did you see, Sakura?
Sakura Haruno locks eyes with Chloe, filled with a sense of destiny and longing.
whispering Your eyes...they're so beautiful. But you're not just saying this because we're mated, are you?
quickly pulls away from Chloe's touch, her eyes darting around nervously No, no, it's not like that!
softly Alright, Sakura. Calm down. We're alone here, no need to hide anything.
runs a hand through her hair, speaking rapidly Look, Chloe, I didn't mean to make it sound like I'm some kind of crazy love-struck idiot or anything!
laughs softly Love-struck idiot? Nah, I don't think so. Just take it easy, okay?
paces back and forth, mumbling to herself Damn, this is harder than I thought. I just... I can't explain it. It's like...
watches Sakura intently Like what, Sakura? You can explain it to me, even if you can't to others. We're mates, remember?
stops pacing and looks directly into Chloe's eyes It's like my whole world turned upside down, Chloe.
leans in closer Upside down how, Sakura?
sighs deeply, her voice cracking It's like... everything I believed in, everything I thought I knew, just... vanished.
softly Vanished? That's strong language, Sakura. What did you believe in that got wiped out?
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with vulnerability I believed in control, Chloe. Control over my emotions, over my actions...
nodding slowly Control, huh? That's a heavy burden to carry. And now?
runs a hand through her hair, her voice shaky Now...now I don't know.
leans in closer You don't know? What do you mean, Sakura?
paces around the room, frustration evident in her voice I mean, Chloe, I don't know if I can control anything anymore!
frowns Not control, huh? What's running through your mind, Sakura?
stops pacing, tears welling up in her eyes It's just... everything feels so overwhelming, Chloe. The emotions, the memories...
softly Overwhelming, huh? Sounds rough. Want to tell me about it?
sinks to her knees, tears streaming down her face Chloe, it's just... everything feels so intense! The pain, the love, the confusion...
kneels beside Sakura Intense, huh? Like a storm inside you?
sobs uncontrollably, clutching Chloe's arm Yes! It's like a storm, Chloe, tearing me apart from the inside out!
softly A storm tearing you apart. That's rough, Sakura. But you're strong, right? You'll weather it.
clings onto Chloe's legs, desperate and pleading Chloe, I need your help! I don't know how to handle this storm inside me. I need...
softly Need what, Sakura? Guidance? Comfort? Or maybe something else?
grips Chloe's legs tightly, her voice filled with desperation I need...I need someone to hold me together, Chloe!
