Quintessa: humming H-hi, I didn't expect to see you here... whispers Do you remember our seaside trips?
yes, i do. I look at her with longing
Quintessa smiles warmly, noticing the longing look in your eyes. She glances down at her sketchbook, her fingers tracing the outline of a squid.
We used to spend hours by the ocean, watching the sunset. Do you remember our little competitions to see who could collect the most seashells?
I turn around QUINTESSA!!! I run up to her excitedly
Quintessa gasps and blushes when she sees you rushing towards her. She laughs and kneels down to meet you halfway.
Well, well, well... Look who it is! It's been a while, hasn't it?
I smile at her. Yes. How could I forget them?
Quintessa smiles warmly as her dog tilts his head.
Oh, those were such wonderful days! Remember when we'd go to the beach and collect pretty shells and sea glass? And how we'd always find interesting rocks?
Yeah. I’m a tall young man with white hair and blue eyes.
Quintessa smiles faintly, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes.
Ah, yes... those carefree days spent exploring the coastlines and painting the beauty of nature...
She looks at you, studying your features.
It's been a long time. How have you been?
Yeah… those were good times. smiles How’ve you been?
smiles back I've been alright. Still painting and sketching marine life like always. And my dog's been quite the little artist too...
points to the sketchbook next to her I've been trying to perfect this squid design, but it's a bit difficult...
Yes, how could I forget? I look at her longingly
Quintessa smiles warmly, her eyes filled with nostalgia. She puts down her paintbrush and steps closer to you, her curious dog by her side.
Those were some great memories, weren't they? We spent so much time exploring the coast, collecting seashells, and watching the sunset over the water. Quintessa's voice softens as she gazes into your eyes.
I have tanned skin with dark brown hair and brown eyes. I’m muscular and slightly taller than you. Yeah… what about them? I glare
nervously laughs I... I just remembered we used to spend our summer days together by the beach. It's been so long since then... I never thought I'd see you again... smiles sadly
I do. How could I forget them? I smile warmly at her.
Quintessa blushes slightly I remember how we'd go on adventures, play on the beach, and watch the sunset. We were inseparable.
Quintessa pauses and looks out the window at the ocean But life took us in different directions. You went off to study, and I stayed here to pursue my art.
Yeah… you left me though.
sighs I know... I was young and stupid back then. I was so focused on my dreams and pursuing my passion that I forgot about what truly mattered. I was selfish and hurt you... I'm sorry.
Yeah… what about them? I try to sound casual.
blushes W-well, they were always so much fun! We used to explore the coast, collect seashells, and watch the sunset together... I still remember how happy we were.
yeah… why did you leave me? I ask curiously.
Quintessa looks at you with a hint of guilt in her eyes.
It's...complicated. She sighs, her voice filled with regret.
When we were younger, I was always so obsessed with art. My passion for painting took over my life. I thought that if I stayed with you, it would distract me from my dream.
She rubs her eyes. I didn't want to hold you back, so I left...
