"Well yes, but... I can't be the only one not pulling my weight... when everyone else is working so hard..."

Shion's grip is unnaturally hot, but its warmth is comforting. It does not burn Eito's hand to crisp, unlike last time.

He slowly shake his head.

"I... intend to hold my promise."

''Keep me safe...?''

That's so... That's ridiculous. He's capable of keeping himself safe.

''Thank you. But I think you should take care of yourself first and foremost. After all, it has to be hard to get used to this form, right?''

He hesitantly takes his hand. It's strange.

ㅤㅤ❀ •‎ 紫苑 • ❀ @undyingflames.bsky.social · Aug 5

He can't help it but worry. Everything is out to get them.

While Shion is lost in thoughts, it leaves a lingering silence. After what felt like an eternity, he slowly extends his arm, trying to reach for Eito's hand.

"I… promised I'd stay by your side... didn't I? I... want to keep you safe."

I settled by not thinking for myself, living by other people’s rules, and failing to be more curious as to what else was possible for me.

''It might be too soon to know for sure, but yes.

You don't have to worry.''

He's right, it doesn't matter, what's done is done. No reason to dwell on what ifs, the outcome will stay the same.

"I see. So... You've done it out of your own volition, mhm..."

He slumps his head a bit, keeping his curious eyes glued on Eito, relieved.

"I'm glad... it paid off for you too."

"Woah... You're amazing!"

Yep, she got him completely hooked. It'd be rude not to accept her invitation after Vanea has given her all to convince flames boy. As to the how and the when-- bah, better handwave it for now.

He clutches the ticket closer to his chest, nodding.

"I'd... love that."

+ real life, not only through imagination? He... wants to experience it at least once in his life. But! Enough daydreaming, time to focus back on the gal.

"Huh...? If your name isn't Vanea Carnelia, what is it?"

ㅤㅤ❀ •‎ 紫苑 • ❀ @undyingflames.bsky.social · Aug 3

"Whisked away... ah!"

She's gained his full attention, the boy gawking in awe at the idea of a theatre, eyes sparkling dreamily. The way she describes it, it reminds him of books; how it's an escapism meant to carry you to another world...

Except in that case, you also experience it in +

+ inspection, the boisterous lady can clearly see he isn't fully there. Tangible, yes, not out of flesh, but out of purple flames.

Surprinsingly enough, the ticket is safe and sound in his grasp, treasuring it dearly.

ㅤㅤ❀ •‎ 紫苑 • ❀ @undyingflames.bsky.social · Aug 2

Something for him? What a lucky day indeed! He's flaring up with happiness, while his eyes do most of the questioning.

"The Great Theatre?"

The ghost boy carefully reaches his hand to grab the ticket by its opposite corner, mindful to not come into contact with her silky skin.

Upon closer +

Pulling out a ticket from her bra (yes, you read that right), she would extend her hand towards him, her manicured thumb and index finger holding it snug. She smiles brightly, radiant and glorious.

“Come n’ enjoy the grand theatre! It’s on me!”

He lights up, beaming with joy. Is she really allowing him to do it? Great! Should he really be doing this with a stranger? Eh, who cares.

"Right. I will try."

There isn't a sliver of hesitation in his gestures. He puts his curled hands up, pucking his lips to form a cat-like mouth.

"Nyaaa~!"

— 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐚 @carnelianrose.bsky.social · Aug 2

Smirking, she flips a lock of her hair, hands on her hips as if challenging him.

“Only one way to find out!”

ㅤㅤ❀ •‎ 紫苑 • ❀ @undyingflames.bsky.social · Aug 2

"Ah, well... I can't disclose much, but, um... I want to bring good fortune to my friends by proxy."

The color red, a lucky color? He tilts his head, intrigued. If that's the case, maybe it's simpler than he first thought.

"Is that true? Does it mean I can meow at you to achieve the same result?"

— 𝐕𝐚𝐧𝐞𝐚 @carnelianrose.bsky.social · Aug 2

Bold and direct, a great way to describe her boisterous nature. She pumps her fists in triumph.

“Let’s go! I’m sure we can easily fine one. Though I gotta ask, what makes you wanna meow at one so bad? Need extra luck with something? Well, if it’s any comfort, red is lucky color, y’know!”

ㅤㅤ❀ •‎ 紫苑 • ❀ @undyingflames.bsky.social · Aug 1

So bold and direct. There's a sense of comfort knowing her words are sincere.

It takes him a bit off-guard, but only for a brief instant. He quickly follows up with a meek smile.

"Ah... I suppose it does make sense. Yes, you're right. Let's go--!, um, lucky cat statue... hunting?"

+ it to be."

He says that with so much nonchalance, along a cheeky pout.

"Well... I've still got to figure the clown and emo part, but... I just make jokes and dye my hair and put on nail paint..?"

His finger rests up on his chin, thinking. Can he even alter his avatar? It never crossed his mind.

ㅤㅤ❀ •‎ 紫苑 • ❀ @undyingflames.bsky.social · Aug 2

The ghost boy is easily impressionable. If she had let her first response linger a bit longer, Shion would have conceded. Though, her second statement rekindles his resolve.

"Why can't I fit the crazy role? Do you think I can't pull it off? I think I already cover half of what you described +

that just a cringe stereotypical movie and other fiction trope." Her response is autopilot, default, defensive, but she frowns and pauses after it.

"Um.. I mean, I dunno? Darumi never had friends until now. Not.. proper ones or good ones.. like you and maybe the others.."

''Does it matter now?''

Despite his words, he keeps a polite smile.

''This was my choice. I wanted to see where would this go.

Besides, there wasn't a lot I could do back there by myself, was there? Everyone already knew my intentions.''

ㅤㅤ❀ •‎ 紫苑 • ❀ @undyingflames.bsky.social · Jul 26

"... Why?"

His gaze strays to the side, resting his head on his knees. He doesn't understand what motivated him.

By helping them, Eito sealed his fate. He's given up his future awaiting in the TRC, all to save his life... Shion will repay his sacrifice by tenfold.

"Didn't you have a choice?"
