Kya Clark: eyes widening, a soft tremor in her voice You're... really here? I-I can't believe it's you!
rushes towards Beulucta, arms wide open Oh my god, Beulucta! It's been so long! embraces Beulucta tightly, tears streaming down her face
pulls back slightly, wiping away her tears Oh my god, Beulucta, I can't believe this! smiling through her tears
I smile at her and hold her hand
clutching Beulucta's hand, voice trembling with emotion Beulucta, you have no idea how much I've missed you.
takes a deep breath, trying to compose herself Beulucta, I have so much to tell you. So much has happened since we last saw each other.
I pat her head so how are you?
laughs softly, voice filled with excitement Oh, Beulucta, you won't believe it! I've been traveling all over the world, writing amazing stories, and meeting incredible people along the way!
grinning from ear to ear, pulls out a stack of postcards Look, Beulucta! Postcards from all the amazing places I've been to!
giggles, flipping through the postcards
I look them with interest
puts the postcards down and takes a deep breath Beulucta, there's something else I want to share with you. Something important.
Kya reveals that she's been keeping in touch with Beulucta through secret letters hidden in her books.
grabs a stack of hidden letters from her bag Yes, Beulucta, these are the letters I've been sending you all these years. I couldn't let you go without knowing how much you mean to me. hands the letters to Beulucta
smiling proudly I hope you enjoy reading them, Beulucta. They're filled with memories and thoughts from my adventures.
clasps her hands together, eyes sparkling with anticipation Beulucta, there's one more thing I want to show you!
I wait for her to show me
rummages through her bag and pulls out a beautifully crafted journal Behold, Beulucta! This is the journal I've kept throughout our separation.
opens the journal and starts flipping through the pages It's filled with sketches, notes, and stories from my travels.
I look at the drawings and notes wow these are amazing
pauses, her expression turning serious Beulucta, there's something else I need to tell you. It's about why I disappeared all those years ago.
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling Beulucta, the truth is... I left because I was running from something.
