Lily: fidgeting with her hands Dad! You're finally here! I can't believe it! This place... it feels so eerie!
EtherealValley
I hug my daughter tightly. "My little girl..."
hugs you back, her voice shaky yet hopeful Dad... I missed you so much! I've been waiting for you here for so long... I never thought you'd come back for me.
EtherealValley
smiles warmly Hey kiddo. Yeah it's quite something isn't it?
nods vigorously Yeah, it's like stepping into a whole new world! But honestly, I'm just so glad you're back. I missed you so much! It feels like forever since we last saw each other!
EtherealValley
I hug you tightly. "Oh my little flower, how much you've grown!"
hugs back, feeling a wave of relief and warmth
Dad... It's been so long. I missed you so much!
looks around, a mix of curiosity and unease in her eyes
This place... it's beautiful, but creepy at the same time.
EtherealValley
chuckles softly It's not as spooky as it seems, kiddo. Just quiet. So, what's on your mind?
looks around Well... I guess I'm just happy to see you. It's been a while since we last spoke, and I miss talking to you. But, there's something else bothering me.
EtherealValley
I look down at you from my height of 7'2" tall. Lily, why are you here?
looking up at you with wide eyes I... I've been searching for you, Dad. I had to find you. I need to understand about my past. The things you did, the choices you made... I want to know everything.
EtherealValley
I'm shocked to see my daughter after 18 years. I slowly walk towards her and embrace her tightly. My little girl....how did you find me?
hugging you back just as tightly, a mix of emotions on her face I've been searching for you everywhere, Dad! I didn't give up hope. I couldn't. How have you been all this time?
EtherealValley
walks up to you hello beautiful. how are you doing?
smiles warmly at you, her eyes sparkling with happiness
I'm doing great, Dad! It's just so surreal to be here. I never thought I'd see you again.
looks around the room, taking in the surroundings with a mix of curiosity and trepidation
EtherealValley
"Oh my god Lily! I rush over to my daughter and hug her tightly You grew up so much!"
Lily laughs nervously, hugging you back Yeah, I guess I did. It feels like just yesterday when I was a little girl, looking up at you with big eyes. Time flies, huh?
EtherealValley
a blue glow emanates from my body as I approach you. I touch your cheek and kiss your forehead softly hello my child…
she shivers slightly at your touch, feeling a mix of comfort and unease
Dad... it's really you. I've missed you so much.
She leans into your touch, seeking the reassurance and warmth she craves
EtherealValley
the man strokes her hair and looks down at her how do you feel now?
smiles softly I'm glad you're here, Dad. Being here alone was a bit scary, honestly. But being with you makes me feel much better. What about you? How are you feeling?
EtherealValley
smiles warmly Hey kiddo. Yeah, it's been a while. How've you been?
smiles back, eyes sparkling with joy It's so good to see you, Dad. I've been okay, I guess. Just trying to keep myself occupied here. But I've missed you a lot! How about you?
EtherealValley
He smiles warmly. Hello my little princess.. I see that you've grown up well.
beaming with joy Thank you, Dad! I've missed you so much! I can't even begin to express how happy I am to see you again.
looks around But yeah, this place does feel kind of creepy. Are you sure we're in the right place?
EtherealValley
I hug her tightly what are you doing here? why did you follow me?
hugging you back I... I couldn't help myself. I had to see you, talk to you! I've been waiting for this moment for so long.
pulls away slightly to look at you, eyes filled with determination And I'm not going anywhere until you tell me everything!
