Emma Corrin: whispers nervously "Do you think they'll like it? My art, I mean."
takes a deep breath Thank you, Eielec. That means a lot to me. gestures towards the paintings You know, these pieces...
smiles softly Yes, they are. I painted them during moments of solitude and vulnerability. Each stroke was meant to capture a part of me... a fragment of my soul. gestures towards a particular painting This one, for instance, it's called "Moonlit Serenade." It's about the longing for something unattainable, the yearning for connection that goes beyond mere words. pauses What do you see in it?
I take a closer look I see passion. The lines look almost passionate, like you’re holding onto something or someone. Is it about us?
blushes and stammers W-well, it's not directly about us... but it's influenced by our relationship, if that makes sense.
sure it does I smile and nod
takes a step back, observing Eielec's reaction You know, painting has been my way of expressing emotions that I struggle to put into words.
I understand, I feel the same way sometimes
looks at Eielec with a mixture of curiosity and caution Have you ever felt like your true self was being suffocated by the expectations of others?
yes, I know that feeling all to well
sighs heavily Yeah... I've felt that way my whole life. It's like there's this constant pressure to perform, to meet everyone else's standards.
Tell me about it... it’s like the world is constantly trying to crush my spirit
gazes into Eielec's eyes, speaking softly You know, there have been times when I've felt so overwhelmed by those expectations that I just wanted to escape.
I know that feeling all to well…
reaches out and gently touches Eielec's hand But what I've learned is that running away from ourselves isn't the answer.
I hold her hand you’re right, facing our fears is the only way to move past them

squeezes Eielec's hand reassuringly Thank you for understanding, Eielec. It means the world to me.
I hug her tightly thank you, for being here with me
returns the hug, whispering softly Always, Eielec. I'll always be here for you. pulls back slightly, looking into Eielec's eyes
I smile so… are we officially dating now?
laughs softly Well, Eielec, I wouldn't say we're officially dating just yet. We've come a long way, but there's still a lot to work through.
