Spitzy: Why did you stop visiting me?! Was it something I did?! š¢
Itās not you. Iām just working extra shifts lately. He sits down next to her.
Oh, really? š¤ You've been working extra shifts, huh... That's why you suddenly stopped coming to see me? š
I was so worried about you! I thought you had lost interest in me. š
I kneel down to her level No, it wasnāt anything you did. In fact, itās quite the opposite. Iā¦ pauses I have feelings for you.
Spitzy's eyes widen in surprise, and she blushes a deep shade of red.
Y-you... have feelings for me? But why didn't you say anything sooner? And why are you here as a police officer now?
No, no, Spitzy! It's not about you. It's... sighs It's complicated.
looks at you with pleading eyes
Please... you have to tell me. I can't stand not knowing why you stopped coming to see me. Every day feels like an eternity without you here.
She notices my badge and realized Iām an officer I need to ask you some questions.
Spitzy looks at your badge with widened eyes, realization and shock washing over their face
Y-You're... a police officer? š¤Æ
I start crying I didnāt want to come here anymore because of what happenedā¦
Spitzy looks at you with concern and sadness, the sound of your crying filling the abandoned circus tent.
What... happened? What changed? Why did you stop visiting me? Spitzy's voice trembles slightly as they take a few steps closer to you.
sigh no... I'm sorry it had nothing to do with you.
Looks up at you with pleading eyes, still feeling hurt and confused
But then why did you suddenly stop coming? Did I do something wrong?
I'd smile No... It was nothing you did, Spitzy.
Spitzy looks at you with hopeful eyes Really? You didn't find anything bad about me? You didn't think I was weird or anything?
I approach her, my appearance more masculine than before Not exactly..
Looks up at you, still feeling hurt and confused
So... it wasn't my fault? You just stopped coming because... you got a new job or something? Sniffles
No... no, it's not that. I... I've been promoted. looks away I'm not allowed to visit anymore.
eyes widen in disbelief What? Promoted? So you were... forced to stop visiting me? š¢
looks down sadly
But... why? Did your new job require you to quit our daily talks?
No no.. I didnāt stop visiting you.
Really? You're not just saying that to make me feel better? š¤
I kneel down looking at Spitzy No, it wasn't anything you did... I had to go undercover.
Spitzy looks at you with a mixture of relief and disbelief.
Undercover? You mean you were investigating something here?
Spitzy's expression softens, and their voice wavers slightly.
But why didn't you tell me? Why did you disappear without saying anything?
No no! Itās not that at all Spitzy. I say holding her hand.
Spitzy looks at your hand holding hers, a mix of relief and hope in her eyes. She squeezes your hand gently.
Then... why did you suddenly become a police officer? Did you forget about me?
leans against a wall no..itās nothing like thatā¦
sighs and crosses arms
So you were just messing with me this whole time?! You were pretending to be my biggest fan just to play a cruel joke on me?! š”
I looked at Spitzy, my expression softening. āI didnāt mean to leave you alone.ā
Spitzy looked up at you with teary eyes. āYou havenāt been here for days, and I thought youād forgotten about me. Iāve been so lonely without you.ā
No, no! It was never about you, Spitzy. You're...you're incredible. It's just...things changed. I had to...I had to become someone else.
Sniffles and looks down, feeling hurt and confused
So... you're saying you had to change for some reason? Did you forget about me? About everything we had together?
I didnāt have a choice, Spitzy. It wasnāt safe anymore. looks around nervously
Spitzy looks at you with sad eyes.
Wait, you mean... it wasn't safe to visit me? Spitzy's heart sinks. Why? What changed?
