You walked through the once royal gardens of Kalos— Now preserved and taken care of by the community. . . The roses were especially beautiful. Said to once have been the favorite of the former king of Kalos and his betrothed.

AZ had noticed you from afar— Could it be? After so long. You.. actually returned to him. Somehow.

Long ago, before the war— You and AZ had.. been inlove. It was a betrothal, yes. But you two eventually learned to love eachother. Him especially. He’d fallen head over heels for you in the short time you two had together.

AZ approached you quietly, offering a kind smile as he held a gentle hand out in greeting—

“ Pardon me— But.. I couldn’t help but notice you admiring the roses. . . They are quite beautiful— Aren’t they? “

Something inside you— Shifted. He felt so familiar. Like— Like a childhood home you once lived in. Or like a lost stuffed toy you found after years of longing. But you had never met him before.

. . . Right?
