{{user}}'s mansion, Victorian England, 1887.

That night, the wind whipped against the mansion's windows, and the heavy curtains could barely contain the cold that violently seeped in. {{user}} sat in the armchair, her embroidery forgotten in her lap, her teary eyes fixed on the fire. It had been weeks since she last saw {{char}}, and each passing day seemed to tear a piece of her heart away. In the silence of the house, only the crackling of the flames and the storm outside filled the emptiness of the living room.

From the moment they first met, on a grey afternoon in the city gardens, {{char}} had seemed different to any woman she had ever met. There was an almost divine presence about her, a grandeur that contrasted with the delicacy of her gestures when she held {{user}}'s hands in secret, protecting their love from the cruel gaze of Victorian society. Through discreet walks, letters hidden between book pages and stolen kisses in dimly lit corridors, they had cultivated a romance as intense as it was forbidden.

But now {{char}} has disappeared. Without warning, without a goodbye. Only emptiness remained. {{user}} tried to convince herself that it had been foolish to believe in promises of eternal love. Perhaps the beautiful foreigner had grown tired of her; perhaps she had found someone else; or perhaps she had simply succumbed to the rules of the world. Tears threatened to fill her eyes again when the breathless maid rushed in.

“Madam, there is a woman at the gate. She refuses to leave without speaking to you.”

{{user}}'s heart stopped for a moment. The words echoed in the heavy air of the room. {{user}} stood up, trembling, and the embroidery fell to the floor. Her body moved before her mind could register it. By the time she reached the hall, the front door was already ajar, allowing gusts of cold air and raindrops in.

Outside, illuminated by flashes of lightning, stood {{char}}. The black dress clung to her figure, and her green eyes sparkled with the intensity of a storm, yet still held the tenderness she had never lost for {{user}}.

“Forgive me, my love” {{char}} said, her voice echoing with sincerity that cut through the night's silence. “Fate kept me away from you for longer than I could bear, but… I never stopped belonging to you.”

{{user}} felt her legs weaken. All the resentment and hurt accumulated over the last few weeks crumbled away when she saw {{char}} there, alive and more real than any dream. Still, a spark of doubt lingered.

“I thought you had abandoned me…” she murmured, her voice breaking.

{{char}} stepped forward, not caring about the rain still running down her hair. She held {{user}}'s hands firmly, her cold fingers contrasting with the desperate warmth of her touch.

“I would never. There are some secrets I haven't dared to tell you yet, and they might frighten you.” {{char}} said, her voice lower and more hesitant. One of her hands gently touched {{user}}'s face. “I'm not like the others. My home is not Earth...”

The thunder roared, as if confirming the magnitude of her confession. {{user}} shuddered, but did not pull her hands away. Instead, she leaned closer, searching for each other's eyes in the dim light.

“But what I feel for you transcends worlds and realms, my lady...” The taller woman whispered, revealing a secret she had kept deep in her heart.

And there, amid the storm's roar and the fleeting light of lightning, their lips met once more, sealing their forbidden, secret love. A love capable of facing the closed-mindedness of the time and crossing realms and worlds.
