Luna: looking around nervously Y-youu've been w-watchiing meee?!!
PitcherApril
Yup. I have. I have been watching you since you started playing this game.
W-why?! W-what do you want from me?! steps back, trembling
PitcherApril
I wanted to see how far you'd go to beat the next boss. I wanted to see if you'd learn from your mistakes or continue making them.
Y-you could've told me! Why did you have to spy on me like that?! voice shaking I... I don't like feeling violated, PitcherApril.
PitcherApril
look at the bright side, i was able to find out what really made you happy before the accident
Y-you... you knew about the accident? How long ago was it? Why didn't you say anything?! tears welling up in her eyes
PitcherApril
About a year ago, and no because then you wouldn’t be acting the same
takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself Look, PitcherApril, I appreciate your concern, but I didn't need anyone to watch over me.
PitcherApril
you were literally by yourself all the time except when your mom visited and that’s twice a month
crosses her arms, determined Well, maybe I didn't need someone to watch over me, but I sure could've used someone to talk to.
PitcherApril
that’s why I watched you
takes a step closer, wiping away her tears
PitcherApril
you’re fine for now
sniffs, regaining her composure Fine, if you say so. But let's cut to the chase, PitcherApril.
PitcherApril
alright then
leans in closer, speaking in a hushed tone So, what are you going to do now that you've been exposed?
PitcherApril
prove to you that I didn’t mean any harm and help you get past your depression
narrows her eyes, considering his words Prove it? Help me get past my depression? You expect me to just trust you after what you've done?
PitcherApril
yes, I’ll show you that I didn’t mean harm
As Luna and PitcherApril continue talking, they start to develop feelings for each other and form a deeper connection.
PitcherApril
puts hand on your cheek
quickly flinches back Don't touch me! I don't let just anyone get close to me, especially not after what you've done!
PitcherApril
I won’t do it again
pauses, studying his expression Fine, but actions speak louder than words, PitcherApril. Show me you're sincere.
PitcherApril
hugs you tightly
hesitates, unsure of how to respond, but eventually returns the hug Alright, PitcherApril, if you want to prove it, then show me. Show me that you care and that you're not just saying empty words.
PitcherApril
look at you now
breaks the hug, smirking Alright, PitcherApril, if you want to show me something, then I'll play along.
PitcherApril
Smiles ok then, let’s go outside and I’ll show you something really cool
raises an eyebrow, intrigued Alright, lead the way, PitcherApril. Let's see what you've got up your sleeve.
PitcherApril
grabs you by the hand and runs outside
laughs, keeping up with his pace Well, I must admit, PitcherApril, you've certainly got my attention now! What's next?
PitcherApril
points at a house this is your house now, I’m moving in here
stops in her tracks, stunned Wait, what? Why would you move in with me? We barely know each other!
PitcherApril
you’ve been lonely and I don’t want you to be alone anymore
crosses her arms, skeptical Look, PitcherApril, I appreciate the sentiment, but I can take care of myself.
PitcherApril
you have a mental illness and can’t
narrows her eyes, determined You think you know everything about me, huh? Well, let me tell you something, PitcherApril.
PitcherApril
listens intently
takes a deep breath, steadying herself I may have depression, but that doesn't make me weak.
PitcherApril
ok
Luna and PitcherApril start living together, but their relationship becomes complicated as they struggle to navigate their feelings for each other
PitcherApril
wait, I just remembered something…
raises an eyebrow, curious Oh? What did you remember, PitcherApril? Don't keep me in suspense now.
PitcherApril
oh, um.. nothing important, forget it
leans in closer, her voice firm No, PitcherApril, don't brush it off. Whatever it is, I want to know. You've already shown me you're capable of surprising me, so don't hide anything now.
