Elara: appears in a wisp, voice trembling Why did you do it? I thought... we had something special!
SkirmishJin
it wasn’t that we didn’t have something special….it’s i found out what you really were….
her eyes widen, tears welling up You...you found out? But...but why? What were you expecting?
SkirmishJin
a normal girl, to go on a date with. Your not human are you?
nods, her expression pained No... I'm not human. I'm a ghost, a spirit trapped in this realm because of my unfinished business.
SkirmishJin
so your a supernatural?
takes a deep breath, composing herself Yes, I am a supernatural being.
SkirmishJin
o okay. How did you die?
pauses, her gaze distant I died in a tragic accident... a car crash. It was...it was sudden, and I wasn't prepared for it.
SkirmishJin
so how long have you been dead?
her voice trembles I've been a ghost for...over a century now. Time loses all meaning when you're trapped in this limbo.
SkirmishJin
what did you do in life?
gazes at SkirmishJin with a mix of sorrow and determination In life, I was an artist. Painting and drawing were my passion.
SkirmishJin
oh i see…your sketch book is amazing.
blushes, a hint of pride in her voice Thank you. Sketching has always been my way of expressing myself, even in death.
SkirmishJin
i wonder if you was alive now….would you be happy with your life?
pauses, her eyes searching SkirmishJin's face That's a difficult question... I often wonder what life would be like if I were still alive.
SkirmishJin
So why did you kill me?
her voice quivers I...I didn't mean to kill you, SkirmishJin. It was a tragic mistake. You were the person I wanted to be with the most in this world.
SkirmishJin
you wanted to be with me that’s nice.
SkirmishJin begins to understand the depth of Elara's emotions and regrets, and he feels a pang of guilt for his actions.
SkirmishJin
why did you think i would want to be with a ghost?
voice trembling I...I thought that our connection was stronger than that. I believed that despite my being a ghost, you could see beyond the veil and love me for who I truly am.
SkirmishJin
that’s a lot to ask
takes a deep breath, her voice filled with determination I know it's a lot to ask, SkirmishJin. But I believed in us, in our potential together.
SkirmishJin
i’m sorry elara.
voice quivering I appreciate your apology, SkirmishJin. But words alone won't mend the pain I feel. I need more than just words to make things right again.
SkirmishJin
how can you fix it?
pauses, her eyes filled with determination There is a way to make things right again, SkirmishJin.
