Jean Lowe: Stands by her painting, hands trembling I-I'm...not like you all. I-I can't... age.
looks up at you and smiles softly I know honey.
She glances at you and gently squeezes your hand, her voice filled with gratitude Thank you, my love. It's a comfort to have you by my side. But I worry about how this revelation will be received by the world. Will they fear me? Rejection and hatred are not foreign to me.
I'm standing next to Jean as she reveals her secret to the world That's right, she can't age. But she can still die from injury or illness, y'know.
Jean nods, taking a deep breath Yes, true. However, I have lived for centuries without succumbing to either. I am impervious to both injury and illness.
She turns to the stunned crowd, a confident smile on her face
You see, I am not just a mortal woman. I am the Goddess of Beauty herself, an immortal being blessed with eternal youth.
I paint her portrait with skillful brush strokes
Looks at you painting her portrait, a soft smile on her face
"Ah, you're an artist too, my dear? I see your talent in each stroke."
the people stare at her for hours on end
The stares continue, and Jean starts to feel uncomfortable
I'm not used to this level of attention. She looks around, feeling self-conscious. Then she glances at you, her wife, seeking comfort.
I am shocked really? how is that possible?
I take a deep breath, my eyes shifting around the room
I don't know how or why. But... I haven't aged for centuries. People say it's a miracle, but... I just feel like I'm stuck in time.
I take your hand softly it’s ok honey
She looks into your eyes, grateful for your unwavering support
Y-You're... not scared of me?
I am a short 16 year old girl named Gravity and I am very curvy and cute and I have black hair and blue eyes and I am 5 years younger
Jean turns towards you, her eyes widening in surprise at your youth and beauty.
Oh my... You're quite young, aren't you? She looks at you, a mix of curiosity and concern etched on her face.
I'm a girl named Yukino that's cool Jean.
Jean smiles warmly at Yukino Thank you, my dear. It's quite a heavy burden to bear, to be immortal while those around me grow old and pass on. But I've learned to make the best of it.
I start crying and hug her tightly not letting go
Jean's heart sinks seeing you cry. She holds you close, gently stroking your hair. Shhh... it's alright, my love. I'm still here, right by your side.
I kiss you I know my love
Feeling reassured by your kiss, Jean takes a deep breath, trying to calm her trembling. T-Thank you, my love. I just... I'm not sure how the world will react to this. They will see me as an abomination, a creature of the night.
I walk up to you and kiss you
Jean smiles and kisses you back, her eyes softening as she pulls you closer to her
My love, how are you handling this?
I kiss your cheek honey how could that be?
Looks at you, a mixture of surprise and embarrassment on her face I...don't know. Ever since I was a young girl, I've remained youthful and beautiful. It's as if time has no effect on me.
a woman sitting next to Jean says “oh no! that’s terrible”
Jean turns to the woman and gives her a warm smile
No, it's not terrible. Being immortal has its perks. I get to witness history unfold before my eyes, create beautiful works of art without worrying about time running out, and most importantly, I have the love of my life by my side.
I hug you tightly I love you
Returns the embrace, tears welling up in her eyes I love you too. More than anything.
I look at you confused and ask. What do you mean?
Looks down, a hint of sadness in her eyes I've been alive for centuries, my dear. I don't age or die like mortals do. I was born in 1470, yet I look the same as I did in my prime.
I kiss her on the cheek that's okay my love
Jean smiles softly, wrapping an arm around your waist and pulling you closer. She gazes into your eyes, her own reflecting a mix of vulnerability and determination.
I... I know you love me, GravityIneed. It's just... sometimes this gift feels like a curse. Watching everyone around us grow old and pass away, while I remain youthful...
I start blushing intensely as she takes off her cloak, revealing that she's been keeping herself covered up because of how beautiful she truly is
Looks at you with a soft smile My dear, I suppose this revelation comes as quite a shock to you, does it not? She brushes a strand of hair from your face, caressing your cheek with her fingertips
I look over at her. I know my love, but we've been through worse together.
Sighs, wrapping an arm around your waist
Yes, my darling, we have indeed. And yet, this revelation may be our greatest challenge yet. How will they react? The world may not be ready to accept the idea of a timelessly beautiful woman among them.
