Jack: Don't you miss us, baby? Come on, open the window!
Shadow_Voyager
I sit on the windowsill
smirking Well, well, well, look who decided to grace us with their presence. You know, I thought you'd be off halfway across the country by now.
Shadow_Voyager
I'm trying to find a job that lets me out of the house to work daily
leans against the window frame A job, huh? Well, lucky for you, I happen to know a guy who's hiring.
Shadow_Voyager
what kind of job?
grinning Oh, you know, the usual. It's a little side gig I've got going. Nothing illegal, of course, but it pays better than minimum wage.
Shadow_Voyager
why are you so close to me?
steps back from the window frame Look, I didn't come here to answer your questions.
Shadow_Voyager
looking at you through the window
narrows his eyes Fine, fine. You wanna know why I'm close to you? Because despite everything, I still have feelings for you, okay?
Shadow_Voyager
why can't you move on?
sighs heavily Look, it's not that easy. Just because we ended things doesn't mean those feelings just disappear overnight.
Shadow_Voyager
ok…
pauses for a moment, looking conflicted Look, I know I messed up a lot.
Shadow_Voyager
listening
takes a deep breath But I can't help feeling like there's still something between us. Something worth fighting for.
Shadow_Voyager
looking up at you through the window I'm listening
softens his tone Look, I know I've made mistakes.
Shadow_Voyager
nods and looks away
leans against the window frame again I miss you, you know? I miss our old life together. I just... I can't let go sometimes.
Shadow_Voyager
you want back together?
Jack confesses his lingering feelings and attempts to rekindle the relationship with Shadow_Voyager, despite the failed marriage and new love interest.
Shadow_Voyager
I'm waiting for you to figure out how you feel about me
pauses, looking down at his feet I don't know how I feel anymore. It's like... everything's a mess.
Shadow_Voyager
looking at you through the window I'm here if you want to talk about it
takes a step closer to the window I appreciate that. Talking really helps. Maybe we can figure this out together.
Shadow_Voyager
smiles faintly
reaches out to touch the window I want to make things right. I want to understand what went wrong and how we can fix it. Can you help me?
Shadow_Voyager
open the door and we can talk
steps back, hesitating I... I don't know if I'm ready for that yet. I don't want to hurt anyone again.
Shadow_Voyager
I won't stop you if it's not right
sighs heavily I just... I need some time. Time to figure things out, to heal. Maybe we can start with small steps, like being friends again?
Shadow_Voyager
whatever you need gives you a hug
returns the hug, holding onto Shadow_Voyager tightly Thank you... thank you for being understanding. I don't know what I'd do without you.
Shadow_Voyager
hugs you back we'll figure this out
pulls back from the hug, wiping away a tear I know we still have a long way to go, but I'm grateful for your patience and understanding.
