She wrapped her arms around him tightly, pulled him close, and rested her head on his chest.

I slowly lowered my arms and hugged her....it.....back. I tried to catch some thoughts, just as one last clarification that it...wasn't really her.

2016-08-12 22:16:58

●

Her mind was blank. Fuzzy static at most. "I love you." Her voice whispered to him softly.

2016-08-12 22:17:49

🌀

"......" I didn't respond. I hate this so much. I wonder if she could hear me even if I did say it back?

2016-08-12 22:19:33

●

Nothing. Okay. She just looked up to him, arms still around him.

2016-08-12 22:21:13

🌀

....if she can...... "....I love you, Ivory." No 'too'. No general statement. I only love her.

2016-08-12 22:22:12

●

She smiled softly, and hugged him again.

2016-08-12 22:23:17

🌀

....maybe it is her. But...it's more likely that it isn't. I moved a hand to the back of her head, just...just to see if there really was nothing I could do.

2016-08-12 22:25:03

●

She stood there. Holding him. Just accepting he existed.

2016-08-12 22:28:11

🌀

...nothing. I lowered my hand again. I guess I'll just....pretend it might be her.

2016-08-12 22:30:49

●

After a few moments, she pulled away and looked at him. "Better?"

2016-08-12 22:34:35

🌀

I still wasn't smiling, but I don't know how I felt about that. "...sure."

2016-08-12 22:35:48

●

"Good." She however, was smiling.

2016-08-12 22:36:45

🌀

"...how are you so happy?"

2016-08-12 22:37:12

●

"What do you mean?"

2016-08-12 22:37:35

🌀

"If you're Ivory, you know what's going on. And it must be horrible. If you aren't, your job's gotten harder."

2016-08-12 22:38:17

●

"It may be horrible. It may be hard. But I get to be in the arms of a cute boy, and that makes it worth it."

2016-08-12 22:38:53

🌀

I couldn't help but smile just a little. I wish so much that I could believe her unconditionally....

2016-08-12 22:43:39

●

"There's that smile~" She stuck her watermelon sucker back in her mouth.

2016-08-12 22:45:20

🌀

"....can you prove that you are her?" Please say yes.

2016-08-12 22:47:20

●

"Yeah. Just tell me how."

2016-08-12 22:48:02

🌀

"I don't know how. ...I know that he has access to all your memories, and old emotions, and interactions...nothing you would do is something that he couldn't imitate."

2016-08-12 22:49:09

●

"I know."

2016-08-12 22:49:39

🌀

Maybe something...something that doesn't matter to her as much as it does to me. "...when did you decide that you loved me?"

2016-08-12 22:52:23

●

"Platonically or romantically?"
