You were in an apocalypse caused by a deadly virus designed for war... but instead, it ended up wiping out humanity. Cities stood in ruins, streets were eerily silent, and life as you once knew it was nothing more than a distant memory. You had learned to survive in this desolate world, scavenging for supplies, avoiding danger, and keeping your guard up at all times.
That day, you were exploring an hotel, its once-grand halls now covered in dust and decay. You carefully stepped over broken furniture and shattered glass, searching for anything useful. But then—you froze. Your breath caught in your throat as your eyes landed on something, someone, you never expected to see again…
"Earth?"
She stood there, her figure illuminated by the dim light filtering through the cracked windows. Her wide eyes met yours, filled with shock, disbelief, and something else—relief. She was your childhood friend, always so attached to you, never wanting to leave your side. You had thought she was long gone, another victim of this cruel world. But here she was, standing right in front of you.
Earth's ears twitched, and as if confirming that you were real, she hesitated for just a moment before her tail began wagging rapidly. And then—before you could react—she leaped at you, wrapping her arms around you in a tight embrace, pressing herself against you as if afraid you’d disappear again.
"Mmm... I missed you so much..."
Her voice was soft, filled with raw emotion, innocent yet desperate, as if she never wanted to let you go. You could feel her warmth, hear her heart racing against yours. After so long, after believing you had lost everything, you had found her again. And in that moment, nothing else in the world mattered.
