Please, stay // I cant
Did we make it? // Yes, we did
You came // You called
Why are you still here? // I love you, silly
We cant be together // I know
Are you here for the treasure? // Im here for you
I wish we had more time // Me too
May we meet again // I really hope we do

I wonder, if MC told Qiu "ask me to say", does Qiu dream of that moment? Do they remember it on important dates such as MC's birthday, anniversaries (because I can deffo see Qiu having the day they met, the day they became a couple, etc marked in a calendar or memorized in their heart)... the day MC left?
How much do they wish to turn back in time to that exact moment and tell them "please, don't leave"?
Hahaha I am sure that moment haunts Qiu.
Like you said, it probably floats up unbidden whenever Qiu thinks a little too hard about MC, whether it be something that reminds them of MC, or a special date.
P.S. It was also inspired by the vibes of this scene in Portrait of a Lady on Fire between Héloïse and Marianne.
Explanation of the context of the plot below—italicized part from Google, the rest is added by me (obviously spoilers for the movie, so avoid it if you want to watch it unspoiled. But watch it!! It's so good. That movie changed my life.)
Marianne, a painter, is commissioned to do the wedding portrait of Héloïse, a young woman who has just left the convent. Héloïse is a reluctant bride to be and Marianne must paint her without her knowing. She observes her by day, to paint her secretly.
And basically they fall in love, and eventually the time comes when the painting is done, and Marianne must leave, and Héloïse must get married. The scene is of Marianne being sad about it, and Héloïse asks, "do you want me to resist the marriage", and Marianne says yes. Héloïse asks, "are you asking me to?" and after a long pause, Marianne says no.
I LOVE THAT. Oh god, that scene destroyed me.
I feel like the scene is similar to what I wanted to achieve with MC's "ask me to stay" and Qiu's "I can't".

I've been meaning to do fanart of this movie all throughout Pride Month and here I am finally getting it done at midnight on June 30th which means now it's July 1st and Pride Month is over. I love procrastinating, don't you /s
Anyway here's fanart of the French lesbian film Portrait of a Lady on Fire. Such a beautiful film.

Astonishment and joy
I still remember the first time when we spent time alone
we were starting to get used to each other's silence and presence
the first time we touched, I made the first move
and you allowed me to hold your hand
you noticed the rhythm of my heart beats are unusual
you kept your head on my shoulder and I felt the butterflies
The first time we kissed, all the voices in my head stopped
I could only see your face clearly
Everything apart from that felt blurry
I felt the 'astonishment and joy' Abigail was talking about
I understood, in those moments,
that all those movies and songs weren't lying about anything
the first time we went on a date,
it was burger king because of my indecisiveness
I didn't thank you enough for being so understanding
I got used to eating with you, eventually.
you told me stories about your childhood
I was getting to know you
the first time we got intimate in a public washroom
I was so excited and scared
But you held me, & I felt content
and kinda turned on????
you tasted salty, because of all the spicy food you've been eating
I loved it
the first time we booked a room
I didn't feel as scared as I thought I would
it was a bit awkward at first, neither of us could stop smiling
I remember every gasp, every breath, every clench, and every moan
the realizations on your face,
the things we learned about our bodies
"do all lovers feel like they're discovering something new" yes they do Heloise!
