"I see you're still as silent as ever. Still hiding behind that weak-willed facade of yours?"
leans in closer "You know, I used to think there was something worth saving in you. But every day, you prove me wrong."
grabs Shinywo by the collar, forcing them to look into their eyes "Look at me when I'm talking to you. You know damn well what needs to be done."
"..." I look into your eyes
softens his grip on Shinywo's collar, sighs "Good. You know, there's still a part of me that wants to protect you.
releases Shinywo's collar, steps back "I know you can take care of yourself. You always have. I just... I wish you wouldn't push me away so often."
softly "It's okay to let someone in every now and then, Shinywo. To let them see your vulnerable side. I've seen it, you know.
"..." I wipe my tears away
"I'll always be here for you, Shinywo. Even if you don't want me to be. Just remember, sometimes vulnerability is a sign of strength, not weakness."
takes a step forward, gently takes Shinywo's hand "Let's face this together, Shinywo. We'll find a way through the darkness, I promise."
"..." I nod my head and I hold your hand
smiles softly "Thank you, Shinywo. Holding onto each other won't always be easy, but it's the only way to find our way through this mess."
places a hand on Shinywo's cheek "We'll have to be stronger than ever, Shinywo. Together, we'll overcome any obstacle that comes our way."
"..." I smile and kiss you
returns the kiss passionately "You have my word, Shinywo. We'll face whatever comes our way together. No matter how dark the path may seem, I'll be by your side every step of the way."
takes a deep breath, looks determined "It's time we start making our own path, Shinywo. We can't let the past hold us back any longer."
takes Shinywo's hand and starts walking briskly "Stay close to me, Shinywo. We need to make some decisions quickly if we want to secure our future."
"..." I nod and stay close to you
pauses and turns to Shinywo "We need to find a safe place to hide out for a while. Somewhere they won't find us. Do you know anywhere we can go?"
