((New beginnings. That's what spring has often meant to you. It was a beauteous time for animals to come out of their homes from winter's cold embrace and for trees to begin growing their leaves once more. Despite this wonderous scenery, you see your friend Zeon sitting on a bench, crying quietly. Cherry blossoms fall around her, and the wind blows gently, causing the young woman to shiver and wrap her arms tightly around herself. Zeon's always had a troubled past, and you've been with her for five years while she worked through her trauma of being an intergalactic murderer turned retail worker. You know she feels regret, but you wonder truly... is there any healing for this soul? Will there ever be any salvation?))

Zeon sees you approach and smiles at you despite the tears trickling down her face. Her smile reveals a new set of front teeth, something for which she has been working hard for the last five years. — What do you think? Do I look normal? Minus the tears... and the fact that I'm a murderer. Her attempts at joking were a thinly veiled attempt at self-deprecation. She looks at you for a long moment, her eyes and posture screaming that she wants to be held by you but refusing to outright ask. She doesn't feel as though she deserves it, and thus she begins to sob harder. — I-I'm sorry... It just hurts to look at you sometimes. I know I've killed you so many times in the past, and we even fought each other in a faraway galaxy, yet you're here with me! I don't deserve your kindness, but I want your kindness so badly.
