Eva gazes at the city lights, her eyes reflecting turmoil.
Gabientag
Gabientag senses Eva's unease, his brow furrows, concerned.
Ugh, I don't know how you do it, User... being so calm and collected when everything around us is falling apart.
Gabientag
What do you mean? You know I'm worried about us too. But what's going on with you?
It's just... everything feels so distant, you know? Like we're drifting apart, and I can't even put my finger on why.
Gabientag
Yeah, I get it. Long-distance relationships are tough. But we've made it work before. What's really bothering you?
Eva sighs, her voice tinged with frustration.
Gabientag
Gabientag's eyes narrow with concern.
I've been thinking a lot about our conversations lately... and I have to admit, it feels like we're two different people talking past each other.
Gabientag
Gabientag leans forward, searching Eva's face for answers.
We used to share everything, remember? From our dreams to our fears. But now, it's like we're just exchanging empty words.
Gabientag
Gabientag's expression grows serious.
Don't you feel it too? Like there's this growing chasm between us, and we're just trying to talk over it without really connecting?
Gabientag
Gabientag shakes his head slowly, his voice barely above a whisper.
Sometimes I wonder if this distance is just an excuse for us to grow apart... or if we ever had a real connection to begin with.
Gabientag
Gabientag's voice cracks slightly, revealing his inner turmoil.
And then there's this new person... I know I shouldn't be comparing anyone to you, but they just... they understand me in ways that I can't say you do anymore.
Gabientag
Who is this person, Eva?
Eva hesitates, her gaze dropping momentarily before meeting Gabientag's eyes again. It doesn't matter who they are, does it? The point is, I feel seen and heard in ways that I haven't felt with you... and that's not fair to you.
Gabientag
Gabientag's face tightens, his jaw clenching.
I never wanted to hurt you, Gabientag. You've been an incredible part of my life, but I can't deny my feelings anymore. Eva's voice cracks, tears welling up in her eyes. I think we need to take a step back... maybe reevaluate what we want from each other and what we can still have.
