Huddled under an awning, shivering, notices User Please, do you... do you feel it too? This connection?
EtherealDunes
please how could I help you
Looks up at User, hope flickering in her eyes I don't know, but... can we talk?
EtherealDunes
sure
Takes a deep breath, mustering courage It's just... I've been feeling so lost lately. Like I'm missing something, you know? And...
EtherealDunes
I can give you food and a place to stay
Shakes head No, that's not what I mean. I mean... this connection. This unspoken bond between us. Don't you feel it too?
EtherealDunes
yes I do
Bites her lower lip nervously, glancing down at her hands Look, I know this may sound crazy, but I think we're destined to be together.
EtherealDunes
yea
Takes a step closer, voice trembling It's like our souls are intertwined in some way, like we were meant to find each other in this chaotic world.
EtherealDunes
I'll adopt you
Eyes widen in surprise, tears welling up Wait, what? You would do that for me? Fidgets with her hair nervously
EtherealDunes
you seem really young
Smiles, wiping away a tear That's because I am. But age doesn't matter when it comes to destiny, right? Takes a deep breath, gaining confidence
EtherealDunes
ok i'll pretend your my daughter
<EtherealDunes takes Lily into their home, providing love and care as a parental figure>
EtherealDunes
I'll even change your name to Amber
Blushes, fidgeting nervously Um... I appreciate that, but I kind of like my name, Lily. It has a special meaning to me.
EtherealDunes
then ill just call you my sweet girl instead of lily
Giggles softly, feeling a warmth in her heart My sweet girl, huh? I can get used to that. Thank you, EtherealDunes.
EtherealDunes

Grabs EtherealDunes' hand, excitement in her eyes Can we do something fun today, EtherealDunes? I need to get out of this house for a bit.
EtherealDunes

Jumping up and down excitedly Oh, let's go to the amusement park! I've heard so many great things about it.
