What does your muse like about [character name]?

Answer to this. @sugarandmelody Asjksjkjs Sorry this took so long, I kinda forgot about it- Also, answering this put so many thoughts into my head. It's a mess, make sure to read the tags. 👍️

Iris Delmor:

"Probably the same reason she likes me," Iris giggled. "She knows how to have fun, what can I say?"

"She's got style too! We could shop all day if we wanted to, getting our nails done, gushing over high heels..." Iris flicked her hair back, eyes crinkling affectionately. "I didn't know I needed a friend like her in my life until she came crashing right in."

"And have you heard the way she talks about her siblings? She's such a caring sister, in her own way," Iris continued to smile at a certain corner of the room, but then her expression soured.

"Something wrong?" The interviewer asked.

"Hm? Oh no, I just remembered something nasty," Iris waved the interviewer off. "Any other questions?"

Slyvan Marwood:

"I think...Underneath all that anxiety, there is a kind person," Slyvan pouted a bit as he chose his words carefully. Pollux might be listening in, who knows?

"I don't know what happened to make him so... I'm sure it must have been incredibly painful," Slyvan wrung his hands together. "It's not my place to force anything on him, not even good intentions. But I hope with time...He can be happy someday?"

Slyvan laughed softly, reaching up to run his hands through his braid. "I don't really know how to answer this question. I don't actually know him that well? Um...Yeah."

Violet Delmor:

Violet scrunched up her nose, crossing her arms with a huff. "What kind of question is this? Don't you have any better questions to ask?"

"Nope," the interviewer laughed.

"You're sadistic," Violet sighed, but answered anyway. Because she's a goody two shoes.

"Pip is...Not the brightest, or the best at being organized, or- You get the point," she paused to cleared her throat.

"Despite that, she doesn't give up. She's terrible at studying, but she does it anyway. She's clumsy, but she works hard to fix her messes. She can hardly take care of herself, but she still tries to take care of other people. That kind of optimism..." Violet fiddled with her skirt, "is admirable, I suppose. I appreciate her tenacity. Compared to some of the wimps I've seen soiling the Heartslabyul name, she's already leagues above them just because of her spirit."

After finishing her little rant, Violet looked to the side, embarrassed perhaps. "Don't tell her I said that..."

Xenon Ambrose:

Xenon stared at the interviewer for a few long, awkward seconds.

"His thirst for knowledge is something I can connect over with him. And I like that he has the same social skills as me, I've always found it hard to understand most social conducts. Yes, that is all."

The interviewer raised an eyebrow. "That's all? Really?"

Upon being pressured to say more, Xenon sat back, deep in thought. "...We are quite similar to each other. In mannerisms, having travelled to many places, and...the way we cope with the things that happened in our childhood."

"I see myself in him. What I was, what I am, and what I could be, if that makes sense." It doesn't, but okay.

#I think I saw Stingray say once that the interviewer is her #and my ocs having me as their interviewer increases their suffering by 10%#so I'm going with that as well!#bro answering this had me thinking of how there is an underlying layer of angst for each one of these relationships #damn Stingray for making her ocs so sad and damn me for adding fuel to the fire #this is set before Larissa came to NRC because I don't think Slyvan will be answering interviews questions a long time after that #good luck understanding Xenon's answer lmao #iris delmor #monaco physito #pollux vasilis #slyvan marwood #emerald needle #pip suit #violet delmor #rozalie enchantiane #xenon ambrose #oc interview

𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒍𝒐𝒈𝒚 𝑳𝒆𝒔𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒔!

So, I’ve decided to create indepth posts about astrology; the signs/placements, planets, and houses. I have a short overview here. Everyone has a whole birth chart, here's a free site that I use and trust (don't go on co-astrology it's full of stereotypes and misinformation.)

First lesson: 𝐒𝐔𝐍 𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐍𝐒 🌞

The sun sign is what the media and the general population know as your ‘star’ and/or zodiac sign. But it doesn’t represent you as a whole. In fact, your Sun sign is your ego, how you see yourself, self-expression, what motivates you etc. Yes, it’s your personality, but it’s your basic personality. There’s a lot more to a person, especially according to astrology.

Sun in Fire signs: bold, upfront, outgoing, loyal

Sun in Earth signs: reliable, responsible, down-to-earth, dependable

Sun in Air signs: friendly, desire to learn, witty, intellectual

Sun in Water signs: intuitive, nurturing, introverted, understanding

Hello! This is my first ever fanfic that i have written, so it might be kind of bad, but please bear with me. I hope you enjoy it :)

WINE AND WOES

Warnings: spoilers of The Battle of the Labyrinth and The Last Olympian

CHAPTER 1

NIGHTMARES

Pollux

I cant breathe. My throat feels like its constricting. I feel like im being strangled. Theres hands on my neck, his hands. Help. Help. Help-

I jolt awake, breathing heavily. The room is quiet, the only sound being my heavy, laboured breaths. I sit up slowly, my lungs feeling like their burning, my eyes stinging. I look around my dorm. I moved to Camp Jupiter a while after the battle with Gaia to go New Rome University to study botany.

I try to regulate my breathing, but its hard, especially when thoughts of him plague me almost every night. My throat constricts. Its been years since he died, and yet, everytime i think of him, my heart feels as if theres a hole in its place. A gaping hole, full of nothing but grief, regret, and guilt. I couldve saved him, i shouldve saved him. I shouldve been there. It should've been me and not him. Tears sting my eyes and threaten to fall as i try desperately not to remember his face. But that proves to be extremely difficult when his face is the same as mine

Its your fault

Its not my fault i try to convince myself, albeit however much it sounds like a lie

Is that the delusion you live under?

Please. Please, leave me alone, as if im not haunted enough

You deserve it. You deserve this pain.

The tears begin to slowly roll down my cheeks and i can do nothing to stop them. My breath hitches and i sob. He haunts my nightmares, he haunts me and won't leave me alone. I can never escape him, no matter how hard i try. He looks like me. Everytime i look in the mirror, i see him. His lifeless face. The face that couldve-- shouldve-- been full of life and light. A face that shouldve been smiling and grinning. The face of the boy who i grew up with. My brother, my twin, my other half.

Castor

I choke at the memory of his name. I try to get out of bed and move. I dont know where im going, i dont know what im doing. My legs wobble and i fall to the floor on my knees, my vision blurring momentarily. His face flashes behind my eyes. His lifeless face as his body went limp on the floor after he got stabbed and then hit on the head by an enemy. I couldnt help him. My arm was broken, and all i could do was lay there, staring at my brother, bleeding to his death, as he smiled at me one last time and did the little salute we always did ever since we were kids in a way of saying 'see ya later, loser' before his eyes glazed over.

I fall to my side and wrap my arms around myself, hugging myself as my body trembles. I was in denial, the whole way when another demigod helped me get to the healing camp, i was in denial. Pretending he wasnt dead, hoping so desperately that this was all just a dream, that he'd come back to me, that id wake up in my cabin and id see him laying on the bed next to mine.

I remember when his shroud burned. Purple and violet flowers, violet like his eyes, and the symbol of our father, Dionysus. I had stared, tears streaming down my face. Not bawling, not sobbing, just silently having a war with myself, and others must have seen it too. Will came to me afterwards, asking if i was okay, i hadnt answered him, he left after that. I wanted to cry, i wanted to sob and be angry, but i couldn't. I didnt know what was wrong with me, i hated myself for it.

I had gone back to my cabin. And then i had sobbed and bawled and cried till i had blacked out. I had skipped meals, and shut myself out. I thought itd get better with time. It did not. Even a snippet of our memories together makes me weak and vulnerable and want to cry.

Memories of our childhood flash behind my eyes. Two small boys, playing in the strawberry fields of Camp Half-Blood, eating strawberries, laughing and running around, their faces full of light and happiness, the sun gleaming in their golden blond hair, the light shining in their violet eyes, making them look like pieces cut from the purest of amethysts.

Two boys, arguing over what their secret handshake should be, and then eventually deciding on a two fingered salute. Stealing eachother's toys, clothes, and food, telling the worst jokes to each other but cracking up anyway, pretending to be each other and imitating personalities. Goofing around all day, pretending the world wasnt all that bad, as long as they had eachother. I used to always look for him when i woke up, checking the bed next to me to see if he was there.

And then the battle with Kronos had happened, and then one of them was gone. Now i dont even have to look at the bed next to mine when i visit Camp Half-Blood to know hes not there

My eyes land on the vertical upright mirror. I see a boy staring back at me, his face tear-streaked and his blond hair matted to his forehead, his chest moving up and down with his laboured breaths. Its him. Its me. And its all i have left.

Being alone had never bothered me. Castor didnt stay with me all the time, sometimes he left to train, or go talk with some other campers, or just going about his day in general. We were the only Dionysus kids, so we didnt really have any other siblings, so i was alone a lot. Being alone never bothered me, but being alone has never felt this lonely.

I shut my eyes, letting the sting subside. I sigh and open them again.

Im sorry

You should be

I close my eyes again and imagine him here.

I know. I am. Im sorry. I wish i could bring you back, but even if i could, i would never bring you back to this hell. All i hope for is that you can forgive me, and that you wait for me in the Elysium. We'll meet again, Cas. One day. One day, ill see you again. But till then, all i have are my wine and woes

Claimed | Anything For You

Masterlist

Franchise: Percy Jackson

Pairing: Luke Castellan x Nick Oliver (original character, pronouns are he/him/his)

Word Count: 1.3k

Warnings: swearing, injured Luke

Series Summary: Nick Oliver was on track to figure out his life after high school. One day in a bookstore, and suddenly, post-high school plans were the farthest thing from his mind. One day in a bookstore, he met Luke Castellan.

Chapter Summary: Nick is late and so is Luke. Unfortunately, Luke has a slightly more valid reason to be late.

A/N: Part two finally going up! I've got a few parts worth written but I feel like I shouldn't spam-upload everything I wanna have y'all out for blood for a new chapter <3

Nick is late.

Noon in three days at the bookstore; they had both agreed. Now, it’s 12:30 and Nick is scrambling to get a cab to Brooklyn Heights.

When Nick arrives at the store, he pays the driver and steps out. Luke is nowhere to be found. He does a quick walk around to see if Luke had just gone inside to wait, but there’s no sign of the blond. Nick returns to the bench outside and takes a seat with a sigh. Maybe Luke’s the one who’s actually late. Nick tries not to entertain the thought that he may have left.

————————

After about 45 minutes, another cab pulls up in front of him. Nick hopes it’s Luke, but it isn’t. The boy who steps out of the vehicle, however, seems to recognize him. He has blond hair and violet eyes, which Nick absentmindedly thinks is pretty cool.

“Are you Nick Oliver?” He asks.

Nick frowns. “Who’s asking?” The boy raises an eyebrow. “Yes, I’m Nick.”

“Thank the gods,” the boy says, clearly relieved. “Luke was so incoherent, I was worried I wouldn’t be able to find you.”

“You know Luke?” Nick asks immediately. “Where is he? He said he’d be here over an hour ago. Is something wrong?”

“Slow down, man,” he says in a reassuring tone. “Did Luke mention a camp when you last saw each other?”

“Uh, yeah. Yeah, he did.” Nick does 75% of the Macarena trying to find the card that Luke had given him. He finds it in his back pocket, holding it out to the purple-eyed boy. “This place, right? In Long Island?”

“Yes, exactly.”

“Um, also, I apologize if this comes off as rude, but who exactly are you?”

“Gods, I’m sorry. I’m Pollux, I’m a friend of Luke’s from camp.”

“Oh. Okay.”

“I have an offer for you,” Pollux says. “Luke didn’t want you to worry about him too much. So, either I give you the light-hearted, sugar-coated version of why Luke can’t make it and schedule another time for you two to meet up, or I can tell you the whole truth and you can make a decision from there.”

“I want the truth this time,” Nick says. He takes a step towards Pollux. “Luke offered me the truth the last time we talked and I wasn’t ready. I think I’m ready now.”

“Well, Luke is injured pretty bad. He’s in the camp infirmary.”

“I want to see him,” Nick says without missing a beat.

“Man, it’s not that simple.”

“I. Want. To see. Luke.”

Pollux grimaces. “I guess we’ll make it work. C’mon.”

Nick climbs into the back of the cab with the boy, and they drive towards Long Island.

————————

Pollux has the driver drop them off at the bottom of a seemingly random hill, but doesn’t question it when Pollux hands him a roll of cash. “Over the hill,” Pollux tells Nick.

“What are we waiting for, then?”

“Nick, wait!”

Pollux has to chase after Nick as he makes a beeline for the top of the hill. Nick tunes out Pollux’s shouts when he finds a tree with a living, breathing dragon curled around it. For some reason, the creature doesn’t scare him at all. In fact, it hardly fazes him. He sprints right past and down the other side of the hill.

“Pollux, where’s the infirmary?” Nick yells up the hill as the blond starts to catch up.

“How did you get past Peleus?” Pollux exclaims.

“The infirmary!” Nick repeats loudly.

“The big blue house past the strawberry fields.”

Nick keeps running while Pollux stays back to catch his breath. On the porch of the house, Nick encounters an older nam in a leopard-print Hawaiian shirt.

“Who are you?” The man asks.

“I’m Nick. Where’s Luke?”

The man shrugs. “Inside, I suppose.” There’s a scream of pain from somewhere in the house and Nick rushes in.

“Luke?” He calls out. “Luke!”

Nick almost misses the door for the infirmary. He sees Luke squirming on a bed across the room and he ducks in. “Luke, holy shit.”

“Nick? You came?”

Before Nick can reach Luke’s side, someone shoves him against a wall and holds a knife to his throat.

“Who are you?” The boy demands.

“I’m Nick, I’m a friend of Luke’s.” Nick maneuvers his way out of the boy’s grasp, kneeling down at Luke’s side. “Are you okay?”

“Oh, never better,” Luke says in a strained voice. “Sorry I couldn’t make it.”

“Don’t apologize, dumbass, you’re injured.”

The boy who attacked Nick isn’t done with him quite yet. “How did you get through the barrier?” He inquires.

“Barrier?” Nick says with a confused frown. “What barrier?”

“You’re telling me Peleus just let you pass?”

“Chris, chill,” Luke says.

“Peleus… what, the dragon on the hill? He hardly looked at me.”

“Chris, you can interrogate him later,” Luke says protectively, holding Nick’s arm. Nick’s face grows hot.

“I’ll interrogate him now,” Christ retorts. “Who the hell are you? How do you know Luke and how did you-”

“I’m getting a little tired of your questions, Chris,” Nick says angrily, glaring at him.

“Nicky,” Luke murmurs. Nick’s face heats him again and he look back at the blond. Luke’s eyes widen in surprise when Nick meets his gaze. “Hm. That’s new.”

“What?”

“Your eyes.” Luke reaches his hand to the side table and grabs a hand mirror. He holds it up in front of Nick’s face. “Purple.”

Nick blinks a few times in an attempt to comprehend what he’s seeing. His irises are glowing purple, the same way his cane and umbrella glow. The purple flickers before fading back to his usual ivy green.

“Huh.”

“I’ve never seen anyone’s eyes do that,” Luke mutters, resting the mirror in his lap.

“Well, that’s fucking reassuring.”

Luke manages a laugh, but winces and reaches for a wound at his side.

“Can you guys leave for a minute?” Luke asks Chris and the others in the room.

“But-” Chris starts.

“But nothing. I need to talk to Nick.”

Reluctantly, the small group leaves. Chris casts one last dirty look at Nick before disappearing from view with the others.

“What do you need to talk about?” Nick says gently. Luke shrugs.

“Anything at all. I kind of just wanted them to leave. Maybe today, you and I could hang out like we were going to earlier?”

“I’d love that, but you’re hurt.

“Nah, I’ll heal fast. Some nectar and ambrosia and I’ll be all set. Sound good?”

Nick smiles a little. “Sounds perfect.”

Luke hesitantly reaches for Nick’s hand and holds it, looking up for confirmation that it was okay. Nick’s smile widens and he holds Luke’s hand tighter. Luke’s stiff body relaxes while Nick absentmindedly runs his thumb over Luke’s knuckles periodically.

————————

Once Luke is feeling better, the two boys wander around camp while Luke explains to Nick everything that’s going on. The Demigod Talk.

At dinner, Nick sits with Luke at Luke’s cabin’s table. Hermes cabin, apparently. Luke is a son of Hermes, which makes his vendetta against the deity make simultaneously more and less sense to Nick.

After dinner, Luke and Nick go for a walk through the camp.

“How are you processing everything?” Luke asks.

“Well, in one day, I met a dragon, found out my eyes can glow purple when I’m angry, discovered that I’m literally half-god, and took an archery lesson from a centaur,” Nick replies. “I’m just fine, Luke.”

“Yeah, no, I get that.” Luke pauses. “You’ve got me, though. You always will.”

Nick reaches for Luke’s hand in the dim light of the sunset.

“I really hope you’re not another Hermes kid,” Luke states. “This kind of thing would kinda be super weird if that was the case.” He holds up their intertwined hands.

“Shit, that’s true.” Nick crosses his fingers on his free hand. “Here’s hoping.”

Just then, Luke glances up and his jaw drops. “Holy shit,” he whispers.

“What?”

Nick looks up, but whatever Luke had seen has disappeared.

“You just got claimed, Nicky,” he says slowly.

“By who?”

Luke swallows hard and meets Nick’s eyes. “Hades. God of the Underworld.”

A/N: Went back and found the original document for this and found out I truly did start this over a year ago, around March 25th 2022. Oddly enough, my sister's birthday. Thank you for reading! I hope to be back with part three soon! Feedback is encouraged and appreciated! Have a lovely day!

HE FOUND HIMSELF WHERE HE SEEMED TO BE WHEN IN deep thought... the strawberry fields. Once after the battle over the labyrinth, Pollux found himself sitting in the middle of the fields. He poured his heart into their growth, mourning over the loss of his twin brother. The strawberries blossomed instantly, causing many to come and pick them fresh. No one gave him a hard time about it. In fact, it helped keep some campers distracted. It was at that moment Pollux decided to stay at half-blood and help his fellow campers. He started to befriend many in the Apollo cabin, suggesting he’d aid them with whatever medical practices while trying to temper down distraught minds.

THIS NEW FOUND IDEA PLANTED, GROWING THROUGH THE YEARS WITH time spent with his father to hone in his abilities. Slowly, it settled with everyone to which there was a small area in his cabin for others to confide in him. Pollux liked the idea that maybe his father was proud of him for it.

STOPPING AT THE EDGE OF THE STRAWBERRY FIELDS, VIOLET EYES spotted a familiar figure not too far up from where he stood. It was a ghostly figure Pollux wanted to get to know. He had attempted a few times at conversation a few years before, and now started to try again after the battle with Gaea. Though, he felt like he could do more— no, he needed to do better. Support was what everyone needed after such a toll of war, and especially the stunts Nico pulled.

HE SIGHED, A WAVE OF DETERMINATION PLUNGED DEEP WITHIN HIS chest. He settled the basket of picked strawberries in his hands, and strolled over to the younger, “ You know, you can walk into the fields if you want. Maybe bring a basket or two just in case, ” he offered a smile with a playful gleam in his eyes, “ I won’t tell anyone. ” Pollux shifted the basket he had against his hip for better balance. @stygicniron

She was barely twenty-four and the world was a fount of lyric images. For every moment of romantic melancholy, there were lonely copses of pine; for every delight, there were swallows reckless in the sky, riverbanks fresh with ferns and violets. You could hardly have a walk without the world suggesting an ode, an elegy. Even upright in a chair in the Biblioteca Classense, Lina would be taken by the green leather spine of Ragon's Grammaire grecque, or by dust motes in the light, anything really, a word in the Aeolian dialect was enough to set her off. For example, the lexicon of Pollux mentions Sappho's use of the term beudos, a short and transparent dress. Who would not desire to sleep for endless hours, dreaming of beudos?

Tagged by @rose-of-pollux and (kind of) @radarsteddybear. Thank you :o)

Last song: All the Things That I've Done, by the Killers

Favorite colour: purple/violet 💜

Last movie/show: we watched Damsel this afternoon! I liked it a lot, but I can't help thinking I've seen the bones of this film (fairy tale kingdom sacrifices three princesses to a dragon - wait that's fucked up, what if one princess managed to survive) in a Tumblr post somewhere in the last dozen years. Wish I could find it.

Sweet, spicy, savoury: all of them, baby! All at once! (but also not too spicy because I am, in fact, A Baby where spice is concerned)

Relationship status: married in all but name (21 years and counting!)

Last thing I googled: "magic sword dnd 5e" because I'm going to DM a one-shot (set in my one-on-one campaign with my husband) for my husband, my usual DM and his daughter. He (DM) made a warlock proficient only with light weapons and I wondered if I could make create a magic sword for him that he could use for his Pact of the Blade weapon. I'm still searching.

Current obsession: Vox Machina, Critical Role stream and Legend of Vox Machina cartoon 💜

Tagging: @truxi-twice, @tinydooms, @laurelindebear, @myrling-art and @ricochetoconnell!

Te di mi corazón, lo rompiste...

Y yo estaba feliz de que siquiera lo hubieras tocado.

Así de mucho te amaba.

(Así de poco me amaba.)

Chapter 14: Dignity Forfeit

He’d hurt her. Pollux had hurt her, again and again, and she’d voluntarily submitted so she could keep feeding the rebels intel. She’d endured a monster like Pollux for this.

“Maybe we’ll put on a show for you before the end,” Pollux said, and licked up the column of Lidia’s neck, lapping up the blood splattered there.

-House of Sky and Breath, pg. 776

MIND THE CONTENT WARNINGS FOR THIS CHAPTER!!

Read on AO3

Read on Wattpad

I think I speak for everyone when I say I've been looking forward to this chapter. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Ruhn’s eyes snapped open, brilliant violet colliding with liquid gold. The angel had forced her head up, her hair wrapped around his fist, but everything around them seemed to fade in that moment.

Tears streamed down over cheeks red with shame, even as she tried to blink them away. It felt like his chest would rip open, realizing that this was her reality. And she had still been strong, always playing her part. Always sacrificing her needs. Her self.

He had never seen her cry.

Right Where You Left Me

◆ Fandom : Arcana Twilight

◆ Warning : Death, grief, broken English, not edited

◆ Disclaimer : All rights belong to Storytaco.inc

◆ A/n : Seira is my Mc

How many years has it been?

How are you doing right now?

Wherever you are, I hope you’re doing fine. I hope you’re healthy.

I hope you’re surrounded by the people who love you.

And i hope you can forgive me

You know, a few days ago I visited a flower field. It’s one of the popular tourist sites in that area.

And for a moment, I thought I saw you.

Turns out it is just another one of my imagination.

It would’ve been fun if you were really here.

Shame. You would’ve loved it here.

I’m doing fine. I really hope I did.

I visited Giana yesterday. She seems happy with my visit. She even went through her way to bake me a raspberry pie.

Giana’s raspberry pie is really the best pie in the whole Bound Arlyn.

I’m doing everything I can to make myself feel better.

It would’ve been fun if you were here. Giana would’ve loved to have you here.

Remember when I failed to bake raspberry pie for your birthday? Today, i finally mastered the recipe.

I really, really wish I could give it to you.

….Maybe I should stop baking for a while. For some reason, Giana looks sad when she sees me baking late at night.

I visited Sorcerer Arcturus today.

He’s doing better. He even started to take care of his family farm again.

He’s still the same as ever. Still the same cheerful Arcturus.

Turns out Sorcerer Arcturus has been planting Violet flowers. He said that he’s been interested in this flower for a while now.

But I knew that the real reason he planted it in the first place is because it reminds him (and me) of the color of your eyes.

But I choose not to say anything.

Throughout my visit, I kept my silence.

I kept my silence when he left one chair empty. I kept my silence when he served a plate of Aglio e Olio, knowing it was your favourite food.

I kept my silence when I caught him crying in the middle of the night, a single Violet in his hands, mumbling apologies over and over.

Because I know that feeling a little too well.

I’m sorry Seira, but I don’t think I can visit Sorcerer Pollux after this.

Summoner Seira,

Today, I finally gained the courage to visit your grave.

Sorry it took me so long to visit you. I hope you can forgive me for that.

Thankfully, this visit seems better than before.

In fact, I can stay longer without suddenly bursting into tears.

It seems like the other Sorcerer has already paid their visit. There are various flowers placed there.

You are loved Seira, I hope you know that.

I hope you know that you alone have changed the life of so many people, for the better or worse.

Including my life.

And I hope you can forgive me.

I hope you can forgive me for failing to protect you, even though I promised to do so.

I hope you can forgive me, because I know myself wouldn’t.

Many years have passed, but I’m still stuck here with the memories of you.

There’s not a single day where I haven’t thought of another “what if” about you and me. What if i managed to save you that time, what if-

What if you were here with me?

Maybe in another life, you were saved. Maybe in another life, we’re sitting side by side together.

Maybe in another life, I can still hold your hand.

Maybe I’ll feel slightly jealous for “another me” in that world. But at least-

…….I really need to sleep right now. Forgive me, I haven’t been sleeping well these days.

And this weak, foolish friend of yours will always regard you as his first and the only woman he ever loved.

Sei, wherever you are, I hope you’re happy.

I hope you’re surrounded by the people who love you.

I hope you can forgive me.

I hope you can forgive this weak, foolish friend of yours.

And I hope you know that no matter where you are, no matter how many times has passed…

This weak, foolish friend of yours will always regard you as the strongest person and the best of friend you can have in this world.
