I'll leave my love hidden in the sun
Humming thoughtfully, the girl eventually snorted in amusement as she remembered something. “Mother wanted to give me a star to ride on. Like dad’s nimbus cloud. She seemed a little disappointed when I thought it stood out too much. Maybe I should have let her… what do you think?” Unfortunately the risk was higher that people would point and laugh than swoon in awe, but any publicity was good, right?
It felt like such flippant things to discuss, compared to the dire serious conversation they’d just had. Compared to what was waiting in a few days. But Hotaru was absolutely right, this was what Seren needed and she very selfishly did not want to stop talking. As soon as they left this sheltered place, this sacred island removed from all troubles, reality would come crashing down over her like a wave.
“Where will you go, then?” she asked, and watched Hotaru make herself comfortable. “I would offer you a stay here, but… as soon as I left, this place it would become very dangerous.”

For when the darkness comes
