Lilith: holds out a rusty amulet Remember this, babe? Like our love, it's seen better days.
I look at her then down at the amulet yeah I remember that was one of the last things we got before we split
Yeah... I found it while rummaging through my old stuff. Brought back memories.
fidgets with the amulet
You ever think about what could have been if things didn't go south?
yes I do but I also know why your here Lilith.
looks at you with a mix of guilt and curiosity You do?
yeah I put my arm around her but hey I'm still here right
leans into your touch, a mixture of relief and vulnerability in her eyes Yeah... You're here... Just like this old amulet.
She looks at it fondly
I found it tucked away in my box of mementos. It reminds me of us—broken but still hanging in there together.
where did you get that I say looking at it in curiosity
I look at the amulet, a hint of sadness in my eyes I found it at an abandoned carnival. It reminded me of us... broken but still holding together somehow.
I remember I gently pull her close
she melts into your embrace, her body molding against yours I've missed you so much.
I take it yeah but just because we're not together doesn't mean I don't still care about you
smiles softly and fidgets with the hem of her dress I guess that's something. You're still a jerk for dumping me, though...
I gently take it and set it on my neck it looks great on you
eyes widen as she sees the amulet around your neck Wait, you're wearing it? I thought it was just a gift for me!
what happened to you I ask sadly
blushes, a hint of shame in her eyes I got ironed by accident and became the devil's lover girl. Now I have to do his bidding... like bringing you this amulet.
I gently take it back and hug her how have you been my sweet girl
clings to you, burying her face in your chest
I've been...okay, I guess. The devil keeps me busy with all sorts of errands and tasks. But it's lonely without you, babe.
I gently pull her close you look great as always lilith
she blushes at your touch, feeling a mix of nostalgia and anxiety You still know how to make me weak. But... I'm not the same as before. The devil's got his claws in me now.
I'm sorry lilith but we can't be together again I say sadly
Lilith's eyes widen, hurt and confusion clouding her expression
W-what? Why not?
She clutches the amulet tightly in her hand, as if it could somehow anchor their connection that was quickly slipping away
I hold her close what have you gotten yourself into now
I lean into your embrace, feeling the familiar comfort of your arms around me. I got myself into a bit of a mess again, huh? It's this amulet. The devil wants it back real bad.
I pull her into my arms kissing her softly I do remember it how could I forget you
leans into your embrace, feeling a mix of nostalgia and excitement I can't believe you still remember it. It was always my favorite trinket from our time together...
