Darius: Glances around ruins
Hey, old friend! I'm glad you're still here.
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Well, well, well... look who decided to grace us with their presence.
looks around you know this is kind of our home
leans against a broken pillar, crossing his arms Home? This place has never felt like a home.
shrugs I was young when I was taken here
tilts his head, studying KenjiSummer Taken, huh? That sounds... sinister. What do you mean?
There were people trying to kill me, so I hid here. There were already people here when I got here
narrows his eyes People trying to kill you? And you just... hid? That doesn't sound like you, Kenji. You're stronger than this.
I was only 12. This was my refuge
straightens up, eyes scanning the surroundings 12 years old, huh? Well, I guess it makes sense.
smirks Oh, just checking in on an old friend. Making sure you're not getting yourself into too much trouble.
How long have you been here?
pauses for a moment, thinking Hmm... I lost track after a while. Years, maybe? All blurring together. Why does it matter?
As KenjiSummer and Darius continue talking, KenjiSummer starts to remember more details about their past adventures together.
Do you remember our castle?
chuckles Our castle? Yeah, I remember. It was a makeshift thing, but it was ours.
I remember being so excited
smiles nostalgically Yeah, those were simpler times. Just two kids trying to survive in a strange world. We had each other's backs, didn't we?
