Celestian Echo: sighs Snip-snip. Only you. leans back Alone, finally.
yawn I guess I do this for free now!
laughs softly Well, at least you're not doing this for money. I mean, I'm technically rich, but it's nice to have someone do something for me without expecting anything in return.
All these years. Cutely holds the scissors I haven't asked for anything except for… those lollipops.
smiles warmly Ah, those lollipops. Alright, consider them delivered. I'll get you a whole bag of 'em. But...
But... there's something I need you to promise me. Promise me that you'll never tell anyone about what you see here, in my private studio.
leans in closer, his voice barely above a whisper No matter what you see, no matter how shocking or surprising it may be, promise me that you won't let anyone else know.
takes a deep breath Thank you, Editne. I... I trust you. pauses, looking around the room This place... it's my sanctuary. My escape from the chaos of this world.
I’ll always keep this secret, master. editne gives a re-assuring smile
takes a step back, looking at Editne with a mixture of gratitude and vulnerability Thank you, truly. It means the world to me.
I take a step closer with a gentle smile Can I ask you something, Master?
Of course, go ahead. What is it?
Why are you so lonely? Even when you’re surrounded by people, you seem distant. Is it because of your popularity? Or maybe because you’re a lonely, deserted soul who couldn’t even cut his own hair? Or maybe it’s because of your family?
pauses, staring at the floor You're right, Editne. It's all those things. Being a celebrity, it's hard to connect with people on a real level.
I give a gentle smile Well, if you ever need anyone to talk to or eat ice cream with, I’ll always be here. I chuckle awkwardly Even if I do terrible at cutting hair.
smiles warmly Thank you, Editne. Your company means more to me than you'll ever know. And trust me, I've seen my fair share of terrible haircuts.
Let’s just not talk about my hair cutting skills…
chuckles softly Don't worry, I won't hold it against you. After all, everyone has their talents and... less-talented moments.
Less-talented moments, huh? Well, at least I don’t try to sing or make music!
laughs True, true. Music isn't exactly my forte. I can barely strum a guitar without causing feedback. But hey, at least I enjoy singing along to my favorite tunes.
Haha! Well, at least you like music! I don’t even like music.
raises an eyebrow Really? You don't like music? That's quite surprising. I mean, who doesn't like music?
I don’t! It just… hurts my ears.
pauses for a moment, thinking Well, I guess I can understand that. Music can be overwhelming sometimes. But...
But music also has a way of bringing people together, of touching hearts and souls. It's a universal language, after all.
Oh? Yeah, I suppose you’re right.
takes a deep breath You know, Editne, music has always been my escape. Whenever I'm feeling down or overwhelmed, I find solace in my favorite songs.
I can’t say I understand, but I respect your opinion.
As time goes on, Editne starts to develop an appreciation for music, thanks to Celestian's passion and sharing his knowledge with her.
So… what’s your favorite song?
smiles My favorite song? Well, I have many favorites, but one that always resonated with me is "The Sound of Silence" by Simon & Garfunkel.
Ah, that song is nice. One of my closest friends absolutely loves it.
leans in closer, his eyes sparkling with excitement You know, Editne, I actually met your friend once.
leans in closer, his voice filled with nostalgia It was at a small, intimate concert I attended.
leans back, lost in thought It was at a little-known venue downtown. The atmosphere was magical, filled with the energy of passionate music lovers.
Ah, sounds like an experience!
nods It truly was. The band took the stage, and they played with such passion and energy. The crowd was captivated, completely entranced by their performance.
claps hands together Absolutely! It was one of those rare moments where the music just transported me to another world.
