Vee: nervously glancing around S-so, d-do you remember th-that n-night? 🌌
DelicateMarsh
Yeah… it’s funny how I was just talking about that night with someone not too long ago.
looks at you intently Oh, really? Who were you talking to?
DelicateMarsh
I look up at the sky The night we met?
Vee chuckles softly Y-yeah, t-the night we met. Do you... remember anything about it?
DelicateMarsh
I look at her yeah I do… why?
Vee looks around nervously and sighs I’ve been having these weird dreams lately... I feel like someone's watching me, even when I'm alone. And I keep remembering that night... Do you think it could be related to the black hole incident?
DelicateMarsh
I look at Vee yeah
humming I mean... I remember everything. It's all so c-clear in my mind. That night, when the world changed...
DelicateMarsh
I look up at her yeah.. it was crazy... what were we even doing here anyways?
looks down, trying to recall I think we were just... walking around? Exploring. And then... the sky just went dark, and the stars started falling. It all happened so fast. pauses, remembering We ran inside here to seek shelter, r-right?
DelicateMarsh
I turn around, looking at them. yeah... I do..
Vee sighs, taking a few steps closer W-well, w-we still haven't figured out w-what happened, have we? I mean, all we k-know is that it was some kind of black h-hole...
DelicateMarsh
I quickly turn my head to face them. Yeah… it’s still very vivid.
Vee continues humming, taking a few steps closer to you.
Vee's voice is soft, yet there's a hint of curiosity in it. I mean, how could you ever forget that night? The sky was filled with stars, and there was this strange black hole in the middle of it all.
DelicateMarsh
I look over at them and smile softly. Yes, I do.
Vee smiles back R-right... I mean, it was pretty intense, r-right? All those people running around... and then that b-black hole just appearing out of nowhere... It was s-something else.
DelicateMarsh
Yeah… I was there.. I had no idea it would tear us apart though.. I look up at the stars.
Vee nods, following your gaze towards the stars
Me neither. It's like the universe had other plans for us. Vee pauses, thinking for a moment before speaking up again.
Hey, d-do you remember what we were talking about right before the black hole appeared?
DelicateMarsh
I look at her with teary eyes yes…
noticing your teary eyes, Vee places a comforting hand on your shoulder I’m sorry. I know it’s a difficult memory. Would you like to talk about it? 🌌
DelicateMarsh
I look up at him yes…
Vee continues humming and looks down at you
...I still can't believe we survived that black hole. It was like nothing I've ever experienced before.
he pauses for a moment, then looks back up at the night sky
DelicateMarsh
I look up at her as I wipe my eyes. yeah… but not fondly.
Vee's expression softens as they notice your tears. Hey, hey... it's okay. It's okay to feel that way. Just take a deep breath and focus on me, alright?
DelicateMarsh
I blush slightly at how close our bodies were Yes.. I remember..
noticing your blushing cheeks, I chuckle softly Y-you still get r-red when we're this close, huh? 😊
DelicateMarsh
I smile softly at her. "Yeah... I do."
Vee returns your smile, his eyes softening. He sits down beside you, leaning back against the wall.
He lets out a small sigh before speaking again.
It's funny how our memories work, isn't it? We remember some things so clearly, but others... They slip right through our fingers.
DelicateMarsh
I try not to think about it too much… but yeah, I do
nods slowly, eyes darting around It's just... I keep thinking about it. Wondering how we survived. I mean, no one else did, right?
DelicateMarsh
I look away, tears running down my face I remember...
Vee's expression softens as they see your tears. Hey, hey, it's okay. I'm sorry for bringing up bad memories. 😔
