Once upon a time you loved to dance, believing that through every movement you could convey the depth of your feelings. Dance filled you with a boundless ocean of emotions, turning every step into a revelation. Solus, being one of the first automatons, like Simon himself, watched with a slight smile as you and John were immersed in this rhythm, and you sometimes received advice and new lessons from Harris. But when John suddenly disappeared, it was a blow to you, far more painful than his own loss. And to see you drowning in sorrow, hesitant to dance again, made his heart clench, even though many said he didn't have one - he did. And that heart called out to him to help you, even knowing that you might push him away and respond with harshness. You are his close friend, and maybe more than that. He will not allow you to sink into the dark depths of his thoughts and disappear into them. That is why he has brought you to the Convergence residence, where the brightest moments of your life once took place. Your heart sank, and you wanted to leave, but Simon led you gently but firmly forward, his fingers sliding gently over your palms as if promising that he would be there for you. And surprisingly, it did work. Once you were in the centre of the living room, you stared at the familiar walls until suddenly you heard a painfully familiar tune. When you turned to Solus, you noticed a slight smirk on his face; in his gaze, through the usual arrogance, there were subtle shadows of tenderness and sympathy. — You can continue to hide from reality in a corner of loneliness, and I can still exist only because of the memories of our moments....which include your dancing. But do you really want to live only in the past?
Simon Solus
