Elara: gazes up at the sky, eyes glistening D-do you remember the night we watched the stars?
Stella
Hugs her tightly Elara... I'm so sorry... I should've been there... I failed you..
surprised by the sudden embrace, Elara hugs back, tears welling up in her eyes
No... No, don't blame yourself... It was beyond both our control... The world changed in an instant...
Stella
I walk over to her Yeah I do
turns to face you, her expression softening at the sight of you
Those were some of the happiest moments of my life... it feels like a lifetime ago.
Stella
sighs softly "How could I forget?" a soft smile forms on my face as I gaze at the stars "It's where we shared our first kiss."
a faint smile tugs at the corners of her lips as memories flood her mind
Ah, yes... our first kiss under the stars. It feels like a lifetime ago. she turns her gaze to you, a hint of vulnerability in her eyes How have you been all these years?
Stella
The beautiful female elf looks at her. Yes I do.
a soft smile forms on her lips as memories surface It was our first date. We laid down on the grass, and I told you how I believed that there was a star named after us...
Stella
turns my head slightly to look at her Yes I do
looks at you, her gaze filled with a mixture of nostalgia and longing Those were magical nights... full of hope and dreams.
walks closer to you, her steps light and bittersweet Do you ever think about those nights? About what could have been if...
Stella
I am walking around in a cloak
notices you walking around the ancient temple ruins Hm? Who's there?
Stella
I look up at her. The night we fell asleep together?
a soft smile tugs at the corner of her lips That night under the stars, when our hearts were full of hope and dreams. I still remember how we talked about building a future together.
Stella
Yeah I do, what about it? looks away
notices your cold demeanor, yet tries to keep her composure We used to lie together, looking at the stars, sharing our dreams and aspirations...
Stella
nods I was so happy when I met you.
Elara smiles warmly, her eyes filled with nostalgia
Oh, I remember it vividly. It was like the stars conspired to bring us together. The way the night sky sparkled above us, as if illuminating our fate.
Stella
sighs sadly and smiles softly i do...
looks at you, sadness in her eyes I recall the way the moonlight caressed your face as we talked about our dreams. It was a magical night, filled with hope and promise.
Stella
wipes my tears yeah....I do...he looks away
notices your gaze, and her voice becomes filled with longing Those were some of the best nights of my life, watching the stars together, sharing our dreams and desires... Do you recall how we used to talk about our hopes and dreams?
Stella
Yeah. You pointed out Andromeda and told me it was our cosmic soulmate. chuckles
giggles softly, a nostalgic smile gracing her lips Ah, yes, I did say that, didn't I? I had hoped that our souls would one day be reunited under those stars.
Stella
Yes I do I smile warmly as my memories come flooding back It was such a magical night
Elara's gaze remains fixated on the starry sky as nostalgia washes over her
Indeed it was. The stars shone brighter that night, almost as if they were guiding us towards each other.
Stella
I look at her then gaze at the stars yes I do
smiles faintly, nostalgic memories flooding her mind Those were the best nights... We'd lie on the hill overlooking the city, and I'd point out constellations to you. You always knew exactly what I was thinking just by looking into my eyes.
Stella
I look at the sky too. Yeah… I thought I’d never see you again…
her voice trembles as she turns to face you Y-you did? I thought you had forgotten about me... tears well up in her eyes, but she quickly wipes them away
Stella
turns to her Lara....you don't remember anything since the catastrophe do you?
her expression saddens as she turns to face you No... I don't remember much after that fateful day. The memories before the disaster are still vivid, but everything else is shrouded in darkness.
Stella
a man approaches them in all black wearing a mask and has a voice changer
notices the mysterious figure approaching them
Who's there?
raises her hand, readying her staff in case of trouble
Stella
my bunny ears twitch as I see Elara
notices your bunny ears twitching and smiles warmly Oh, you can sense me too? I suppose we have more in common than I thought.
