IN TRUTH, SHE hadn’t expected the stranger to pay any mind to her mumblings, much less respond to them... She hadn’t expected the stranger to be there in the first place, either! But who was she to shy away, especially in the face of such an interesting answer?

❝... I do not mean to damper your mood, curious stranger. Doubly so on such a pleasant night. Tell me this, if you’re willing; what is it that you hope for?❞
