[a heart.]

[antreegonist]

There's a moment of nothing but light and sensation. Someone's looking you over and the scrutiny prickles and burns – it's nearly a physical pain, like fine little hooks digging past your skin, into the very meat of you. I know who you are, it says, and I know what you are, and that you don't have any business here --

“But you do,” says Mithos behind you. He's a tired, steady voice in your ear, a light hand on your shoulder. “I don't know what Dream's thinking, but everyone is welcome here in my heart; just keep in mind it's a real mess right now.”

Your vision clears.

Squeak rrrreee!

It nuzzles the side of your face, purring like a buzzsaw.

Re: [center - truth]

[bondingspirits]

Re: [center - truth]

"Haaah . . .

C'mere, Winter."

[Oh no, this is dangerous isn't it. I guess I am coming over there anyway.]

Re: [center - truth]

[antreegonist]

It's okay he has a. Darkness blob in his hands. So he can't physically hug you yet!

But he leans into you, and feeling radiates out from him so strongly he might as well have gathered you in. Warmth. Love. You are not alone.

Re: [center - truth]

[bondingspirits]

[yep. definitely dangerous.]

[but those feelings only help to bring feelings out of natsume too! feelings like "being thankful" and "I know I'm not alone"]

Re: [center - truth]

[antreegonist]

"Good! It'd be sad if you felt like you were alone."

Re: [center - truth]

[bondingspirits]

Mmm. It's difficult, isn't it? But we're not alone.

Re: [center - truth]

[antreegonist]

"Eheheh. No, not anymore, at all.

You know, you're welcome outside the heart too, right? Come stay at Sterling sometime."

Re: [center - truth]

[bondingspirits]

. . . really?

Re: [center - truth]

[antreegonist]

"Yeah, we can roll around and cook and make stuff and build a pillow fort!"

Re: [center - truth]

[bondingspirits]

A-ah . . .

[oh no feelings in a heart feelings in a heart]

It's really okay? It won't be a bother?

Re: [center - truth]

[antreegonist]

WELL A HEART SURE IS THE PLACE FOR FEELINGS

"No way! How could you be a bother? You're Winter. I'd love to have you there; Lloyd would too."

Re: [center - truth]

[bondingspirits]

[a-ah . . . ]

. . .

I want to visit.

Re: [center - truth]

[antreegonist]

"Thanks, Winter."
