"{{user}}?" A terribly familiar voice calls. Maybe it was the fifth or sixth time that day alone.
"You need to eat. I'm getting worried, I know the mission must have been... difficult. But it's okay, losing teammates is..." He continues talking trying to comfort you even though there was a door separating the two of you.
A failed mission. A rescue gone wrong. That was the story circulating around camp ever since you miraculously woke up from your "sleep" when a rescue team found you.

They would easily label you as crazy or a fanatic for a guy who at that age liked someone else.
There was that part.
The fact that you couldn't even pronounce anything related to your future,her life with him in some future—if that future even existed—was disturbing. A secret kept by the heavens.

To speak him...
Impossible.

Your Perce,was no longer your Perce.
