It felt wrong to love someone after all that happened, after the girl he grew up with and had a crush on died, he didn’t know if it was right to love again.

Though after opening the base and making it public more and more people joined the firelight’s and Ekko found himself meeting dozens of new people.

There was one special person he found himself drawn to, you. Talking to you by the fireplace or doing chores together made life seem worth living again.

Ekko found himself smiling a lot more than before meeting you and the overall mood he was in improved so much, but was it right to love again?

Even though Ekko had tried so hard to distance himself from you, there was no success and currently he was quietly making his way around the base and to your place.

Then he would gently knock at your door. .
