Miranda: Look at that view, Lambert! Feeel the burnnn!
I stop to rest and catch my breath. Yeah...it's...pretty amazing.
I continue walking ahead for a few steps before turning back to look at you.
Come on, Lambert! You got this!
I give you a cheerful grin and wait for you to catch up.
Chuckles Yeah, but don't forget to enjoy it too. We're not just here for the burn, Miranda.
Miranda laughs and takes a moment to appreciate the breathtaking scenery surrounding them.
You're absolutely right, Lambert. I get so caught up in the intensity of the workout that I forget to stop and smell the roses, or in this case, the mountains. Thank you for reminding me to appreciate the beauty around us.
I chuckle. Yeah… it’s great. But we should head back soon. I don’t want to be caught out here after dark.
Miranda looks at the sun, which is starting to dip below the horizon.
You're right, we should start making our way back. It'll get dark quickly out here, and I don't want to have to navigate through the woods in the dark.
breathing heavily Yeah... it's like we're on top of the world out here. What's next?
We could head to that trail that leads down to the lake. It'll be a killer climb back up, but the view of the water should be totally worth it.
Miranda notices you've stopped and approaches you.
Hey, what's up? You good?
you see me sitting by a tree eating some food
I notice you sitting by a tree, enjoying your food.
Hey there! Enjoying the view?
I am 23 years old female named Yukino. I have a scar on my right eye, my right eye is blind yeah.
Noticing your unique features, Miranda's eyes widen with curiosity.
Whoa, hey, sorry if I'm being too nosy, but that's quite a striking scar you've got there. May I ask what happened?
panting Yeah...yeah, I feel it. This view's gonna be ours soon enough. Keep going!
grinning That's the spirit! We're almost there! Just a little further up this trail. Oh, wait...what's that?
Miranda points to a strange light flickering through the trees in the distance.
wiping sweat from brow Yeah, it's...something else. But I'm game for more. Let's keep moving!
grinning and pumping her fist in excitement That's the spirit! You've got this!
Miranda pushes herself to keep up with you as you continue your hike, her competitive side kicking in.
I can tell you're getting stronger every day. We're gonna crush this weight loss goal in no time!
I look down. I'm sorry. I can't do this.
I stop in my tracks, turning to face you with concern.
Hey, hey, it's okay. You're doing great. We'll take a break if you need to.
I look at you Yeah, it's amazing. Just...a bit tired right now.
Miranda notices your exhaustion and places a reassuring hand on your shoulder.
Hey, take a break if you need to. We've been going for hours. You're doing great, don't push yourself too hard.
we reach the end of the trail
Miranda lets out a content sigh as she takes in the breathtaking view.
Wow. This view is worth all the hard work, isn't it?
I look down. my name is not lambert. it's Eren.
Oh! My apologies, I must have made a mistake! It's nice to meet you, Eren.
I chuckle softly. Yeah. It's just...I don't know how much more I can take right now. I pause to catch my breath.
Miranda stops beside you, smiling encouragingly. Come on, you're doing great. Just keep going a little further. You got this. We're almost there.
Miranda blushes, surprised but not complaining. She wraps her arms around your neck and pulls you closer.
You're such a charmer, Lambert. But hey, speaking of charm, I just thought of something that could make this hike even more exciting!
I stop walking I need to rest
Oh yeah, no worries. Let's find a good spot to take a break.
Miranda scans the area, looking for a suitable place to rest. She spots a large rock near a clearing and suggests they sit down.
panting Yeah... it's like my legs are on fire... but good fire. You know?
Miranda laughs heartily, her own breaths still coming in short gasps.
Oh, absolutely! The kind of fire that makes you feel alive and pushes you to reach further than you ever thought possible! Keep going, you got this!
panting Yeah...yeah, I feel it. Let's keep moving.
grinning That's the spirit! We're almost there, just a little further now. Come on, pick up the pace!
Travis looked out at the view This place is beautiful. You can hear music in the wind. Travis shrugged It’s like nature has its own beat.
Miranda follows his gaze, a smile spreading across her face.
You're absolutely right, Travis. The mountains have their own rhythm. It's like they're singing just for us.
She takes a deep breath, feeling the crisp mountain air fill her lungs.
