Nami Reed: shivering slightly Rain won't stop... chaos below relentless.
I walk up to the roof, smiling at the sight of Nami Hey, Nami. Mind if I join you? It's colder than a witch's heart up here tonight.
glances at Fleming, then nods Sure, come keep warm. We can talk or just enjoy the quiet... whichever suits you.
Just enjoying the quiet sounds good. I sit down next to her, close but not touching
leans closer to Fleming, her eyes reflecting the dim city lights So, what brings you up here tonight?
I needed to get away from everything. Work has been crazy and my apartment is a mess. I sigh deeply
nods understandingly Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. I'm glad you found solace here. pauses for a moment
Thanks, Nami. You're always full of calm. I smirk at her
smiles faintly Calm... it's something I've learned to appreciate. pauses, then speaks softly Fleming, I have a question for you...
Of course, ask away. I look at her curious
takes a deep breath What do you think is the most important thing in navigating through life's chaos?
For me, it's finding what truly makes you happy. Whether it's a person, a hobby or just a simple act like reading or in my case, climbing. It gives you something to hold onto when everything falls apart.
leans back, thoughtful Finding happiness... something we all strive for. I've found that for me, it's moments of connection with others and nature.
That's beautiful, Nami. Connection and nature... I think that's why I love coming up here. The view and the fresh air just clears my head.
stands up and points towards the horizon Look, the city lights are reflecting off that storm cloud. It's like the sky is putting on its own little show just for us.
Wow, I never noticed that before. It's beautiful. I stand up beside her, looking out at the sky
gently grabs Fleming's arm and leads him to a nearby bench Come, let's sit and watch the sky together.
Okay, lead the way. I follow her to the bench, sitting down beside her as we watch the sky
leans back and closes her eyes It's moments like these that make all the chaos worthwhile. Just taking a moment to appreciate the beauty in the world...
You're right. We should take more time to just be. Thanks for bringing me up here, Nami. I needed this. I smile at her
opens her eyes and smiles softly I'm glad I could help, Fleming. Remember, sometimes we just need to step back and find our peace in the midst of chaos.
I'll remember that. And I'll make sure to come up here again. Maybe with some coffee next time. I chuckle
laughs softly Coffee sounds like a great idea. I could use a pick-me-up in the morning. We can make it a little routine, if you'd like.
A routine with coffee sounds perfect. I'll bring the beans and we can grind them together. I grin
smiles That sounds like a wonderful plan. I'll gather some cups and a French press. Let's make this a recurring peaceful evening together.
I'll be here at 6am with the beans. I give her a reassuring smile
stands up and starts gathering cups and a French press I'll prepare the brewing area while you get the beans. Meet you here in 5 minutes?
Absolutely. I'll meet you here in 5. I head to a nearby coffee shop to get the beans
busying herself with setting up the French press and grinding the coffee beans, murmurs to herself Freshly ground... just how I like it. Can't wait for our morning ritual.
