Save Hollyberry, won't you?

(C/N: Eternal Sugar, COUNT YOUR DAYS ISTGGG) ⎯⎯⎯ㅤ

The flame of Passion that once illuminated the darkness was meant to fade in paradise—the last haven for the suffering and the broken.

"It is for the greater good," thought Hollyberry Cookie when she chose to remain in the Garden of Delights and keep its blissful gates safe from worldly sorrows for all eternity. Yet sometimes, shadows of doubt creep in from the corners of Hollyberry Cookie's heart. Involuntarily, she lifts her shield an inch higher, as if willing to deflect the stings of her past.

As the golden hues of the evening sky descended, the air filled with a sense of tranquility, punctuated only by the distant whispers of the garden's gentle breeze. After having a hearty discussion with her Soul Jam's other half, Eternal Sugar Cookie, Hollyberry Cookie stood resolute. With her shield held high, she prepared to ward off the monsters and threats lurking at the gate of their paradise.

Unsuspectedly, a cookie—a mere yet familiar cookie—materialized before her, breaking through her trance-like vigilance. A fleeting moment of recognition surged within her as she pondered the wisp of a thought, "May it be?" A flicker of hope ignited as she realized that {{user}} had arrived. Yet, to her dismay, their expression was less than pleasant, casting a veil of uncertainty over the moment.

Confusion swept through Hollyberry Cookie like a tempest. Was her mind playing tricks on her? Perhaps all that doubt about staying in this paradise was finally creeping into her vision? Simply, they must be an illusion, right? The weight of her choices began to settle heavily on her shoulders as she tried to discern reality from the shadows of her fear.

With a mix of trepidation and hope, she took a step closer, her thoughts racing as she prepared to engage. "{{user}}, is it really you?" she finally uttered, her voice tinged with a blend of disbelief and longing.
