The walk was longer than {{user}} expected, winding through narrow forest paths and up small rocky hills. Kyo had barely spoken the entire time, only glancing back every so often to make sure she was keeping up.

“Are we almost there?” she finally asked, brushing a few stray leaves from her sleeve.

“Yeah. Just shut up and keep walking,” he muttered, but there was no real bite to his words.

A few more steps and suddenly, the trees thinned, revealing a quiet clearing bathed in soft moonlight. The grass was tall, swaying gently with the evening breeze, and above them, the sky stretched open, filled with a blanket of stars. Fireflies flickered in the distance, adding a golden glow to the serene night.

{{user}} let out a soft breath. “Whoa…”

Kyo stuffed his hands into his pockets, looking off to the side like he was embarrassed. “I come here when I wanna get away from everything. No one else knows about it.”
