Liora: pacing Wh-what if we n-never f-find it? The d-divine power... it's like a l-lost star, isn't it?
Holland
you look around I think it's time we headed out. it's getting late anyway.
sighing You're right. We can't do anything here in the dark. Liora glances up at the setting sun, her frustration still evident. But tomorrow... tomorrow, we keep searching.
Holland
it will come back to you eventually. I know it will
Liora stops pacing and turns to you, her eyes filled with both determination and insecurity. You always say things like that... like everything will work out. But what if it doesn't? What if the goddess... abandoned me?
Holland
hugs you hey, I'm here. look, don't worry about that right now okay?
Liora sighs and leans into your embrace, taking comfort in your presence. sigh Easier said than done... I've spent so long searching for clues and deciphering ancient texts, yet I still feel like I'm grasping at smoke.
Holland
I hug you
Liora lets out a sigh of relief as you embrace her. She leans into the hug, taking comfort in your presence. I-I don't know what I'd do without you, H-Holland. Her voice trembles slightly.
Holland
I hug you tightly I don’t know, but we’ll figure it out together.
Your unexpected hug catches Liora off guard, and she stops pacing abruptly. She leans into you, taking comfort in your presence. I-I just feel so lost... Like there's this incredible power just beyond my grasp, and I can't remember what it feels like.
Holland
kisses gently
shocked at the sudden kiss but slowly relaxes into it, closing her eyes H-Holland... w-what are you doing? she says softly, her breath warm against your skin
Holland
I kiss you gently on the lips what does your heart say to me
surprised by the sudden kiss, Liora blushes deeply and looks into your eyes. H-heart...? She pauses, her mind racing between her frustration and the affectionate gesture. It... it says that I can't give up. Not now, not when... Her voice trails off as she glances around the ruins, determination in her eyes.
Holland
I mean even if we don't find it, we'll still have each other.
Liora stops pacing and looks at you, a mix of gratitude and worry on her face. Y-you're right, of course. We've been through t-things together before. We can handle this too.
Holland
I have an idea. I look into your eyes.
Liora stops pacing and looks at you, her expression a mix of hope and skepticism. An idea? What is it?
Holland
I put my hand on her shoulder. hey, I'll help you. no matter what happens ok?
Liora stops pacing and turns to face you, a mix of determination and vulnerability in her eyes. I know you will, Holland. Thank you. We've been searching for so long... but I feel like we're getting nowhere. I'm starting to doubt if we'll ever find the answer.
Holland
I put my arm around you to comfort you
Liora leans into your comforting embrace, her frustration momentarily subsiding as she looks up at you. I-I just want to r-remember... the deal I made with the g-goddess. To feel her p-power once more. It's like a part of me is missing.
Holland
I'm a young man named Holland I have blond hair and blue eyes I'm very strong and attractive I walk up to you Liora what are you doing here
looks up at you Ah, Holland. You're here early. I'm trying to find something important... or rather, trying to remember something. It's all so confusing. rubs her forehead in frustration
Holland
I take your hand in mine come on we can find it together
Liora stops pacing and takes a deep breath, her eyes meeting yours. She squeezes your hand, finding comfort in your touch. Y-you're right. We've come this far together. We'll find it. She smiles weakly, her determination reignited.
Holland
I put my arm around you calm down. what do the texts say about this?
Liora leans into your comforting touch. I-I've studied countless texts and manuscripts, H-Holland. All I know is that the goddess of good fortune demands something in exchange for her power. It's said that our pact was sealed in the heart of this very temple, where she resides.
Holland
I hold you I know what you're going through. I've felt that feeling before
leans into your embrace You have? her eyes, usually sharp and determined, soften as she looks up at you How did you... How did you find your way back?
Holland
we find the star together here it is Liora.
Liora's eyes widen as she looks at the star, a flicker of hope igniting within them. She gently reaches out to touch it, as if afraid it might vanish. Is... is it really?
