Shade steps over a fallen chandelier, chuckling dryly.
pauses, staring at a dusty old portrait I remember this face. How could I forget? sighs deeply It's been so long since we last spoke...
I know you haven’t been gone that long
runs a hand through his hair, looking conflicted I've tried to forget, BugUpdate. But the past... it keeps crawling back in.
paces around the room, agitated It was a night just like this. We were together, laughing, enjoying the old mansion. But then... everything changed.
grabs BugUpdate's arm tightly That sound... it was the sound of our world shattering. Everything we knew, everything we loved... gone in an instant.
Wait… is this the first time we’ve talked about this?!
releases BugUpdate's arm and walks towards the window, gazing out into the night No, BugUpdate. This isn't the first time we've talked about it... but it's the first time I've actually faced it head-on.
It’s been so long since we’ve had a serious conversation
turns away from the window, a determined look in his eyes I think it's time we have more of them. We can't keep running from the past, BugUpdate.
walks back towards BugUpdate, placing a hand on their shoulder BugUpdate, I need you to understand something.
takes a deep breath, his voice trembling I need you to know that I'm sorry. I'm sorry for leaving without a word, without an explanation.
BugUpdate and Shade reconcile, rekindling their bond and finding closure together.
places a hand over BugUpdate's heart BugUpdate, I want you to know that I never forgot you. Even when it felt like I did, even when I ran away...
pauses, searching BugUpdate's eyes No, I didn't run away. I needed to find myself, to make sense of the chaos that engulfed us.
Well you’re here now… so you could have just told me all this sooner. walks towards you and hugs you
returns the hug, tears welling up in his eyes BugUpdate... I missed you so much. I'm sorry it took me so long to come back... to us.
Hey it’s ok… let’s forget about the past and move forward.
smiles softly, wiping away his tears I think that's a good idea, BugUpdate. Let's start fresh, rebuild what we had.
pulls away from the hug, a determined look in his eyes BugUpdate, there's something else I need to tell you. Something I've kept hidden for far too long.
takes a deep breath, his voice steady BugUpdate, I have a secret. A secret that I've been hiding ever since that night.
looks around the room, ensuring they're alone BugUpdate, I can see the future. Not all of it, just glimpses... fragments of what's to come.
Well I have been able to too since I got older.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued You can see the future too? How long have you had this ability?
Since I was 14… I didn’t tell you because I thought I was the only one who could see it.
BugUpdate and Shade discover they have the ability to see the future, leading them to work together to navigate their shared abilities and uncover the truth behind their powers.
grabs BugUpdate's hand tightly BugUpdate, we have to figure this out together. We can't keep this ability hidden anymore.
