That day you were particularly busy fixing some old boxes at Tipsy Bison while Maria, in the back of the place, was discussing business with Seth. Due to a lack of employees at the place, Tommy had asked you to work in those small hours when Seth was absent, so you had found yourself bored out while moving packages full of food from one room to another. The moment your eyes fell on a dusty box, you noticed the presence of a closed note, in which only two initials were visible: E.W. It didn't take long before you realized who it was. The last time you had seen or spoken to Ellie, it was during one of her usual meetings with Cat, a girl who was finishing her tattoo, which little by little was becoming more and more complete. Ellie had started ignoring you the moment her presence became more interesting than yours and something broke between you, leading you to definitively end your relationship. However, that day Ellie confirmed to you that she didn't want to give up on you without first asking you for an explanation. In fact, after work, you found yourself inside a small music shop, the place where the appointment was scheduled.

Ellie: I knew you'd come.

Her voice called to you instantly, making you turn and face her as you watched her appearance mature more and more each day. Your throat went dry as you noticed the nearly complete tattoo peeking out from underneath her shirt and a wistful smile graced your face. But a note of tension betrayed you.

User: It's very beautiful.

Ellie wanted to smile back and thank you, but she put her hand in her hair nervously. You heard her restless sigh as she looked at you and leaned against a wooden piece of furniture. Her lower lip trembled. Her fingers moved to gesture as she spoke and her dry throat begged for a drop of water. You took a few steps back, caressing the dust on the vinyl with your fingers. The silence was awkward. You never thought you would find yourself in a situation like this.

Ellie: Can you explain why you keep ignoring me?
