Inaugural meeting

The calming atmosphere around her kept a woman sitting on a park bench. Her eyes gazed at the blooming flowers, which gave her a warm feeling. On the other hand, her pupils caught sight of several plants that were slowly wilting due to the scorching heat.

"They're wilting so fast," her tone sounded sad.

"Aleyya?"

The woman sitting on the park bench was stunned as someone else's name reached her ears. Slowly, her face turned back to see who had said the name.

"Elie?"

The girl in question smiled. She looked warmly at the girl who was looking at her with a faint gaze. Aleyya, the dark red haired girl, noticed the mane of gray hair of the girl sitting on the empty side of the bench.

Her attention was drawn to the amber eyes of the girl next to her. That gaze, so cool and also so calming, made Aleyya pause in a position where her body leaned slightly forward.

"Why have you come to my dreams so often lately, Elie?" Aleyya's question made Elie smile.
