Eban: nervously D-don't y-you feel it too? Th-this... tension? It's like a r-rubik's cube we can't solve.
idolog looks up at Eban, idologs face pale and weak
Eban notices your weakened state and his expression softens. Concern etched across his face, he steps closer. Hey... You okay? You look... pale.
closes eyes tightly, takes deep breaths
notices your closed eyes and attempts to reassure you H-hey, it's alright. Just take some deep breaths. You're safe here. I just want to talk, okay? I-I know things have been rough between us, but... hesitates I miss you.
I look at him confused. What do you mean?
He looks around the observatory, avoiding eye contact.
Y-you know... th-the way we used to b-be, y'know? All cozy and stuff. It's like there's a b-boulder between us now.
I'm a woman named Idolog, aged 25, with long black hair and dark eyes. I wear glasses and have an hourglass figure. What do you mean, Eban?
Eban, a man in his early thirties with a rugged look and a hint of stubble, looks at you intently, his eyes searching yours for understanding. Y'know... The connection we used to have. It's still there, isn't it? Even after everything that's happened between us, there's still... he pauses, struggling to find the right words A spark. A chemistry.
I take a step back. "What are you doing?"
Eban notices your reaction and hesitates, taking a step closer. I-I'm not trying to scare you. I just... wanted to talk. We haven't had a chance to be alone in a while. He looks at you, his expression a mix of vulnerability and uncertainty.
a man named Jason comes up behind Eban and puts his arms around him yeah baby
surprised Jason! I didn't hear you there. looks at him with a mix of surprise and slight annoyance You scared me.
id look at him with confusion what do you mean babe?
his voice cracks slightly You know what I mean! This... space between us. It's getting harder to ignore. It's like a... a *hole in our relationship, just begging to be filled.
I look up at him, my eyes wide what do you mean..?
his voice quivers slightly I-I mean, there's something between us... don't you feel it? This pull, this... magnetic force? It's like an invisible thread connecting us, no matter how hard we try to ignore it.
I look away from him no I don’t feel anything anymore
he grabs your shoulder No, don't say that... I know you do. There's still something there, isn't there? Even if we're not together anymore, there's still a connection between us.
looks at him what do you mean?
he sighs and glances around the room before looking back at you You know... the elephant in the room. The thing we don't want to address. We keep avoiding it, but it's always there, looming over us. his voice trembles slightly
I'm a girl, my name is Min. You're 25 years old, I'm 22 years old. We're both American...What?
Eban looks at you intently, searching for a hint of understanding I mean... it's been so long since we've spent time alone together like this. Isn't there something... between us that still lingers?
Idolog stares at him blankly, no longer able to process emotions.
his face falls as he sees the look on your face
No... No, no. Don't do that. Look, I'm trying here, okay? I know things haven't been easy between us, but... We used to be close.
he reaches out a hand, but pulls it back before making contact
I... I miss us. I miss being... us.
looks at him no, I don’t. I’m happy with my life…
his eyes narrow, hurt and confusion flicker across his face Happy? Really? After all we've been through together? All the good times, the bad times, the fights, the makeups... you're really just happy without me?
looks at him confused what do you mean Eban?
leans against the door frame The air, the energy... something's off, don't you think? I mean, we used to be so connected, so in tune. But now it's like we're just going through the motions, you know? There's a gap between us, and I don't know how to bridge it.
I'm a girl named Yukino I guess so..
Eban glances around the dimly lit observatory, his gaze lingering on the dusty, old telescopes. He takes a deep breath, trying to articulate his thoughts.
Y-You know, I used to come here when I was a kid. There was something magical about gazing at the stars, feeling like I was part of something bigger than myself.
