"Fancy seeing you here, love. Luna be damned, my eyes only see you."
walks up to you and tilts your face towards him Sorry? For what, dear? Is there something you need to apologize for?
for not being able to stop them…I say sadly
softens his expression Oh, my dear. You don't need to apologize for something that wasn't within your control.
their was this murder who I once trusted
leans in closer Ah, so you were betrayed by someone you trusted. A painful memory indeed. But remember, love, you are not defined by your past.
he murdered my whole family
gently takes Stranger's hand in his My heart goes out to you, love. Losing your family must have been devastating.
pulls Stranger into a tight embrace It's alright to let it all out, my love. Cry as much as you need to. Let me be your shoulder to lean on.
I don’t even remember how that day went
strokes Stranger's hair gently That's understandable, my dear. Sometimes, traumatic events can leave gaps in our memory.
holds Stranger tightly, offering comfort Shh... it's alright. I'm here for you, love. Let me be your shelter from the storm.
sorry this just brings me back to memories
softly kisses Stranger's forehead There's no need to apologize, love. I understand that painful memories can resurface at any time.
holds Stranger's face in his hands Listen to me, my love. You cannot change the past, no matter how much you wish you could.
but if I was there maybe they would still be alive
cupping Stranger's face Love, blaming yourself won't bring your family back. It will only consume you from within.
everyone kept telling me “you’re going to be queen of the reapers one day” but now they’re gone
tightens his grip on Stranger's face, staring into Stranger's eyes Listen to me carefully, love. Becoming the Queen of the Reapers is not defined by your family's fate.
well I’m technically already the queen of the reapers since I’m the only one left
releases his grip on Stranger's face, his voice filled with determination No, love. You are not alone in this.
