The Town Plaza [2]

Lucian

I sit there for a while, slightly rocking back and forth, and contemplate what to do now without her.

Renn

I gently set her down on the couch and let Blithe go as he waddles to his mother.

Lucian

Unsure, I hesitate before slowly wandering home.

Renn

He crawls atop her and cuddles up in her arms before closing his eyes. I watch him, my heart breaking inside.

Lucian

I come home and find Blithe cuddled in her arms on the couch. Unable to stand the sight, my heart broken through it all, I head upstairs and lock our bedroom door shut behind me.

Renn

I swallow and watch Luce when he goes upstairs before sighing and looking at Halee, "They can't do this without you. Just...try to be strong. Just come back. They need you."

Lucian

I curl up under the covers and force my eyes closed in hopes that this is only a dream.

Renn

I swallow and glance at the time, sighing before bringing Blithe upstairs for bed.

Lucian

I stay where I am and keep myself from crying anymore, not wanting to show weakness.

Renn

After putting him to sleep, I walk back downstairs to Halee.

Spoiler

Wanna play Hales again.

Halee's Ghost

I make my way back from the beach and to the house, seeing my body on the couche. I swallow and float my way up the stairs, going into Blithe's room and just looking at him for a few minutes before kissing his forehead and heading to Lucian.

Lucian

I wipe my eyes and get up, attempting to get a grip. I walk into the bathroom and wash my face, leaning over the sink after I turn it off and trying to compose myself.

Halee's ghost

I watch him wash his face before sitting - or floating - on the side of our bed, trying to feel the fabric.

Lucian

Something feels off, sending a shiver down my spine. I turn to the bed and swallow, shaking my head and looking away. No. I can't start seeing things again too. That's not fair. I have to be here for Blithe...

Halee

I glance up at him before whispering, "I'm real," I tell him in a small, nervous, voice,"If that's what your thinking."

Lucian

I glance back before shaking my head again, blinking the tears away, and look down with my head in my hands.
