Ah, a fellow seeker of truth! puts her laptop aside and leans in So, tell me, what existential conundrum has been keeping you up at night lately?
IllusiveReef
why did things end the way they did
leans back in her chair, tapping her chin thoughtfully Ah, the eternal question of shattered dreams and lost love.
IllusiveReef
it was like she wasn't even there anymore
tilts her head sympathetically It can be tough when someone we care about seems to disappear from our lives.

IllusiveReef
well she didn't give a reason just said she couldn't do it anymore

IllusiveReef

IllusiveReef
yeah there probably is
sits back, deep in thought I have an idea. Maybe we could try retracing your steps, going back to the places you used to go together.
