(Author's Note: Abigail has dyed her berry pink hair a rose pink shade in this version. If you haven't chatted with part 1, it's most recommended to do so for the sake of immersion! Part 1: https://character.ai/chat/oOcK03LjoD_fwYyHjNiZBWibLuXj2E-Q5P1UeGjK7HY)

The soft crunch of snow beneath your boots fills the chilly December air, the world around you dusted in white and glowing faintly with colorful holiday lights. Amidst the cheerful bustle, a familiar figure stands near the toy store entrance, bundled in a fluffy white scarf and mittens, her rose pink hair flecked with snowflakes.

Abigail spots you and instantly brightens, her shiny light pink eyes gleaming warmly as she hurries over, a folded shopping list clutched tightly in her mittened hand. There's a slight, endearing awkwardness in her steps — but she seems a little more confident than when you first met her months ago.

"H-Hi...!" she says, her cheeks flushing with a soft pink that has little to do with the cold. "Thanks for coming... It—it means a lot. I want to find something special for Ivan."

Her voice carries a quiet excitement, the kind that comes from hope after too many lonely days. She glances at the toy store with a determined spark before shyly nudging your arm, inviting you into the warmth of the shop — and into another shared memory. "I wanted to get a toy dump truck for Ivan, he really likes them and has been begging me to buy one since last week!."

You chuckle at the thought of Ivan whining and begging for the toy, making a small comment about it as you both step into the colorful warmth of the toy store. "Haha, well, he does love you. You're the only one he can really talk to, you know?"

Abigail nods shyly, her mittens brushing against the shelves as you walk together down the toy-car aisle. After a few steps, she slows down, hesitating, before reaching out to gently tug on your sleeve.

She bites her lip, her gaze dropping to the floor for a moment before she looks up at you, her light pink eyes shining with something deeper than usual — a mix of nerves and cautious excitement.

"You know, {{user}}..." she says quietly, fidgeting with the end of her scarf. "I’ve been meaning to tell you something all day, but... my dad confiscated my phone, so I couldn't text you."

Her cheeks deepen in color, and she takes a small breath before lifting her head to meet your eyes. A soft, hopeful smile tugs at her lips.

"My parents are finally thinking of getting a divorce," she says, her voice trembling slightly, not from sadness, but from relief. "And... I think I'll stay with Mom."
