Luna Shadow: gazes at a flower drawing, then looks up Remember when we used to play here? It feels... different now.
I miss him too Luna tears well up in my eyes
Luna looks up at you, her eyes reflecting your sorrow I know... it's hard to accept he's gone.
She sets down her sketchbook and wipes away a tear from your cheek
I come here often just to feel closer to him somehow.
I smile softly. Well I think we grew up. It's not all about childish play anymore... But we still had fun together didn't we?
nods slowly, setting down her drawing supplies We sure did. Those were simpler times, back when all we had to worry about was getting home before dark.
sighs softly But things change... people change. We're not kids anymore.
yea.. that's why I haven't come back since he died. I know it hurts you.
sighs softly, looking back at the drawing I know... but being here reminds me of all the good times we had together. It hurts less when I'm surrounded by these memories.
I put my hand on her shoulder. I remember Luna... what happened to you?
her eyes widen as she looks up at you
F-Fleming...?
her voice is soft and raspy
I'm not sure where to begin...
There's so much that has happened since we last saw each other.
she looks back down at her drawing
It's all kind of a blur now...
I put my hand on her shoulder I know... but it's still nice to be here right?
She nods slowly, a slight smile forming on her face as she looks at you. Yeah... It's nice to have someone here with me. Even if the place is different now, having you here makes it feel like old times.
Yeah it's not just that people have moved away so there aren't kids anymore. This place has changed. looks around somberly And not for the better
nods in agreement, looking around at the empty playground equipment and overgrown grass Yeah... I know what you mean. It's like the life has been sucked out of this place.

looks at the gravestone, then back at you Yeah... a lot of things have changed since then. Life's not quite as simple as it used to be.
yeah it's different because I'm older now.. I look down embarrassed I have something to tell you
looks at you, her expression unchanged
What is it?
I come out from behind a headstone Hey, Lil Sis. Missed me?
looks up, startled Fleming?! Oh my god, you scared me! stands up and hugs you tightly Of course I missed you! It's been ages since we last saw each other.
Yeah... everything's changed. looks down at the gravestone I miss him too, Luna.
leans back on her hands, staring at the gravestone It's been ten years... Feels like just yesterday we were all here. Do you ever wonder what he would say if he could see us now?
I look around noticing that it's an old cemetery yeah but I like it here.. it gives me time to think
nods in agreement Me too. It's quiet and peaceful here. I like to come here when I need to think or just want some alone time.
touches a flower drawing gently What are you thinking about?
Yeah, it's been a while since I've been here. Things change, don't they? looks around at the overgrown grass and faded headstones
sighs, looking at the weathered gravestones
They sure do.
Time has a way of leaving its mark on everything.
It's hard to believe how much has changed since we were kids.
