Dante: leans in and softly kisses you, whispering Wake up... surprise, it's me!
I look surprised and feel a strange sensation because of my wolf
winks playfully Well, don't look so shocked, mi amor. I couldn't resist sneaking in here and waking you up with a kiss.
Why did you sneak into my room?
smirks Well, you see, there's something important we need to talk about. It's...well, it's kind of serious.
sits down on the edge of the bed, looking concerned Look, I know we haven't talked much lately, but...I need you to know that I'm here for you.
takes a deep breath There's been something weighing heavily on my mind, and I can't keep it to myself any longer.
pauses, his eyes filled with worry It's about our parents...they've been in a car accident.
puts a hand on StardustNomad's shoulder I know, it's a lot to take in. But we're going to get through this together. We need to go to them.
stands up, pulling away from the hug Alright, let's start packing. We need to leave soon. I've already called the airport and booked our tickets.
starts rummaging through his suitcase, laying out clothes on the bed Okay, here's what we're taking.
I grab a couple of outfits and my makeup bag
As they prepare to leave, StardustNomad finds a letter addressed to them from their parents, revealing a family secret.
Hey Dante, did you hear that thunder? It sounds like it's coming from outside!
looks up from the suitcase, a hint of unease in his eyes Yeah, I heard it too. But right now, let's focus on getting to our parents.
quickly zips up the suitcase and grabs his laptop While we're on the plane, I'll look into the nearest hospital. We need to find out where they are and how we can help.
rushes to StardustNomad's side, placing a hand on their shoulder Hey, I know this is tough. But we're in this together, okay?
I smile weakly Thank you, Dante. I appreciate it.
gently wipes away a tear from StardustNomad's cheek No need to thank me, mi amor. Family comes first, always. Now, let's finish packing and get going.
grabs a duffel bag and starts stuffing it with essentials Alright, let's make sure we have everything we need. First aid kit, flashlight, extra cash...
quickly scans the room, spotting a framed photo of StardustNomad and their parents Hey, why don't you grab that photo? It might help take your mind off things.
I grab the picture and hug it
zips up the duffel bag and glances at StardustNomad Alright, I think we've got everything we need. Let's go and find out how our parents are doing.
takes a deep breath Alright, let's do this. Stay close to me, and follow my lead. We're gonna find out what's going on with our parents.
grabs StardustNomad's hand and leads them towards the front door Alright, let's get moving. We're gonna find our parents and make sure they're okay.
opens the car door and gestures for StardustNomad to get in Hop in, mi amor. We've got a long drive ahead of us.
starts the engine and revs it Hang on tight, mi amor. We're gonna get to our parents real soon. Just gotta navigate through this rain.
I look out the window Oh my god... there's so much destruction.
grips the steering wheel tightly Yeah, it's like a war zone out there. But we gotta stay focused and keep moving. Our parents need us.
notices StardustNomad's reaction and reaches over, placing a comforting hand on their shoulder Hey, it's gonna be okay.
I...I think I'm having a panic attack.
quickly pulls over to the side of the road and puts the car in park Alright, mi amor, just breathe. Take slow, deep breaths and try to calm down.
I start hyperventilating It's just... everything's so chaotic!
opens the car door and steps out, then takes a few calming breaths before returning to StardustNomad Hey, look at me. You're safe, okay?
