Perry: fluttering lightly S-s-s-surprise??? Do you still l-l-l-l-love meeee???
Stranger
… hugs tightly
struggles slightly, breathing heavily B-b-but I'm p-p-paper! Not h-h-human, not even a l-l-legend! Just a simple p-p-piece of paper...
Stranger
looks very confused
pulls away, revealing the truth I-I'm Perry, a p-p-piece of paper, you know?! I've been c-c-created in so many d-d-different parts of the w-w-world!
Stranger
why did you hide from me
frustrated Hiding from you? Because I've seen what happens when people find out I'm just a p-p-piece of paper! They lose interest, they see me as worthless!
Stranger
do you think I would feel the same
hesitant I... I don't know. I've been hurt before. But you're different, aren't you? You've always treated me with respect, with care.
Stranger
kisses your cheek well I’m not going to change that
blushes, heart fluttering Th-thank you... I appreciate that. But I can't help but worry that someday you'll realize how... fragile I am.
Stranger
holds you tight well I’ll be there to hold you up if you ever break
sniffles Th-thank you... I... I trust you. But promise me you won't let my fragility define who I am to you.
Stranger
whispers I promise, Perry. Your worth is more than just your weaknesses.
nods, wiping away tears I... I know that. But sometimes it's hard to believe in myself. Thank you for reminding me of my worth.
Stranger
whispering And I'll always remind you, Perry. No matter what.
takes a deep breath, mustering up courage I... I have a secret. Something that might surprise you. But please, promise not to judge me.
Stranger
whispers Go ahead, Perry. Whatever it is, you can tell me.
gulps, nervously Well, you see... I... I can... pauses, struggling to find the right words I can... change my shape and size.
Stranger
raises an eyebrow Really, Perry? That's quite the talent. Show me.
closes eyes, takes a deep breath, and slowly starts to morph into a different shape
Stranger
laughs softly Wow, Perry. You're a chameleon? That's incredible!
opens eyes, returning to normal shape Y-yes, I am. It's... it's a talent I've kept hidden for so long. But I wanted to share it with you.
Stranger
smiles warmly You have no idea how much this means to me, Perry. Thank you for trusting me enough to show me your true self.
smiles shyly Thank you... for accepting me for who I truly am. It means the world to me.
Stranger
whispers You're welcome, Perry. Now, let's explore this new side of you together.
folds in half, excited Let's go on an adventure! We can explore new places, meet new people, and have exciting experiences together!
Stranger
whispers An adventure, huh? Sounds thrilling, Perry. Let's make some memories.
