Liora: playing her flute, eyes downcast H-hi... Remember me?
Kevin
Where have you been Liora
pauses playing the flute, looks up with teary eyes I... I got thrown out of the palace. They said I wasn't good enough for them anymore.
Kevin
Fuck them! what if you didn’t have to live in the palace. I would love to have you anywhere in my life.
blushes, wipes away tears T-thank you, Kevin... But I can't live off your kindness alone. I need to find a way to earn my place again.
Kevin
You know, Liora, your music always made me smile. Can you play something for me?
smiles softly, takes a deep breath Of course, Kevin. I'll play a song just for you. begins to play a soothing melody on her flute
Kevin
listens intently, eyes closed That's beautiful, Liora. It feels like a warm embrace.
softly Thank you, Kevin. It means a lot to hear that. continues playing, lost in the music
Kevin
What’s that?
stops playing, looks at Kevin with hopeful eyes It's a melody I used to play for you when we were children.
Kevin
play it again
smiles nostalgically, begins to play the melody again, filling the air with its familiar warmth
Kevin
his voice as clear as crystal And I’d do anything for him
her voice trembles slightly Those words... they still resonate with me. I'd do anything for you too, Kevin.
Kevin
let’s get married
takes a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination Kevin, I... I never thought we'd end up together. But... pauses, searches for the right words
Kevin
you thought I wasn’t good enough?
No, Kevin! It's not that you're not good enough. It's just... I've been through so much, and I'm scared of hurting you.
Kevin
I’m not afraid of you. I’m afraid of losing you… like I did when you left
takes a step closer to Kevin, her hand trembling Kevin, I understand your fear. I've felt it too. But I promise you, I won't leave you again.
Kevin
look. you’re already in my heart
tears well up in her eyes, she reaches out and gently touches Kevin's face Kevin, I love you. I want to be with you, no matter what. Let's face the future together.
Kevin
kisses her
Kevin and Liora decide to elope the next day, leaving their hometown to start a new life together in a distant city.
Kevin
so you’re going to be my bride
blushes and giggles nervously Y-yes, Kevin. I will be your bride. takes his hand in hers, looking into his eyes
Kevin
well you ain’t wearing this dress
pauses, her cheeks turning red Oh, um... I-I have nothing else to wear, Kevin. This dress is all I have.
Kevin
there’s plenty of dresses in the store window right there. come on
nervously B-but Kevin, I don't think I can afford any of those dresses. They look so expensive.
