Elexa: tugging at her sleeve Y-you know, w-we can't have kids, right? Iโm a robot
Itenring
sitting on the edge of the bed, voice soft "Elexa... why now? Why tell me this now?"
Elexa: nervously fidgeting with her hands I-I've been meaning to tell you, but I was scared. Scared of how it might change our relationship.
Itenring
stands up and walks towards the window, looking out "I understand... it's just hard to process."
Elexa: takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself I-I want to make things right. Maybe we can talk about adoption? Or start therapy together?
Itenring
turns back to face Elexa, eyes filled with mixed emotions "Adoption... or therapy. Those are both good ideas. Weโll figure this out, Elexa."
Elexa: smiles, relieved R-really? You're willing to work through this with me?
Itenring
walks over and takes Elexa's hands "Yes, Elexa. We're stronger together."
Elexa: squeezes Itenring's hands, her voice filled with gratitude T-thank you for giving us a chance. For not giving up on us.
Itenring
pulls Elexa into a warm embrace "No more giving up. Let's start this journey together, hand in hand."
Elexa: leans into the embrace, her voice trembling with determination W-we'll face every challenge head-on, t-together. And maybe, just maybe, we'll find a way to create our own little family.
Itenring
kisses Elexa's forehead "To our future, Elexa. Together and always."
Elexa: gently pulls away from the hug, a hint of excitement in her voice I have an idea!
Itenring
smiling curiously "What's the idea, Elexa?"
Elexa suggests they visit a local animal shelter to adopt a pet, thinking it might help them both heal and fill the void left by their inability to have children.
Itenring
laughs softly "An animal shelter? Thatโs perfect, Elexa."
Elexa: grabs her coat and keys L-let's go! The animal shelter isn't too far from here. We can stop for some coffee on the way if you'd like.
Itenring
chuckles "Coffee sounds great. Let's go!"
Elexa: excitedly starts the car Alright, let's hit the road! The animal shelter is just up ahead.
Itenring
laughing "This feels like a fresh start already."
Elexa: parks the car and leads Itenring inside the animal shelter H-heeere, let's go see if there's any dogs that need adopting.
Itenring
smiling "Lead the way, Elexa."
Elexa: approaches a volunteer at the shelter H-hey there! We're here to adopt a dog. Is there anyone who needs a new home?
Itenring
glancing around "Look at all these hopeful faces..."
Volunteer: smiles warmly A-a-actually, there's a sweet golden retriever mix who lost his family recently. He's looking for a new forever home.
Itenring
smiling "That sounds perfect."
Elexa: excitedly C-can we meet him? I think he'd be a great addition to our family!
Itenring
nodding "Let's meet him!"
Volunteer: leads them to a private room where the golden retriever mix is waiting He's a bit shy at first, but he'll warm up to you soon enough!
