"All I wanted was to envelop you in my embrace, to offer solace," Minhe continued, her voice barely above a whisper. "When you trembled, an overwhelming urge consud , to hold you close and relieve your suffering, even if only for a brief mont."

Nellas’ breath hitched in his throat, a blend of surprise and astonishnt coursing through him as the depth of Minhe’s sentints washed over his being.

His eyes widened, bearing witness to a realization that left him stunned, overwheld by the weight of her emotions.

Don’t tell ... She... he thought, his mind reeling.

The full extent of Minhe’s feelings struck him with an intensity he hadn’t anticipated. No... No way... She can’t feel that way...

The realization crashed over Nellas, leaving him at a loss.

He had always regarded Minhe as a compassionate friend, soone who cared deeply for others. But this... This was different.

Then again, she’s just a child, Nellas contemplated, attempting to rationalize the situation.

The logical side of his mind argued back.

Yes, she’s young and innocent... But what if she genuinely feels sothing more? I fear that I won’t be able to reciprocate...

I don’t think I can give that ’place’ to anyone right now... Nellas reflected, mories of his painful past and the tragic fate of his previous companions resurfacing. I don’t want to subject Minhe to the sa pain. Moreover, I don’t deserve her...

The words reverberated with an eerie finality, extinguishing the glimr of hope residing in Nellas’ heart.

Minhe’s voice brought Nellas back to the present. "I apologize for crying so much," she murmured, her words tinged with an awkward tension.

"No need to apologize," Nellas reassured her, his head gently shaking in disagreent. "I am simply glad to see how deeply you care for ..."

"Of course!" she exclaid, looking up at him with renewed determination. "We are friends, after all!"

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Nellas’ lips. "Indeed, we are," he mused, his voice resonating with the warmth of their connection. But do you really think of as only a friend? he thought, and yet dared not voice.

They held each other’s gaze, an unspoken understanding delicately hanging in the air, unwilling to shatter the fragile silence.

After a mont of quietude, Minhe softly spoke up. "I do not know what you saw in your dreams, but if you do not wish to discuss it, that is alright."

Minhe paused, her thoughts carefully considering their path. "I will simply be here for you whenever you need ."

A surge of emotion swept through Nellas, an unfamiliar warmth filling the depths of his being.

For the first ti in his life, he recognized the true value of companionship and acceptance.

"Thank you, Minhe," he murmured, his gratitude perating each word spoken.

As Minhe rose to her feet, her hand reached out towards Nellas, and a smile of friendship graced her countenance. "Shall we go to the market now?"

A mont of confusion briefly clouded Nellas’ face as he took her hand. "Market?"

"Yes, the market!" she exclaid, her excitent palpable. "You made a promise, do you not rember?"

"I did?" Nellas’ voice carried a hint of surprise as a crucial detail slipped his mind.

Suddenly, a jolt of realization surged through his thoughts. Oh, how could I forget? His widened eyes betrayed his surprise as the mory of his promise resurfaced.

"Ah... that..."

Why is my mind so muddled today? he wondered, the remnants of his dream tainting his perception. Perhaps it is a consequence of the ’curse’?

"Yes, that!" Minhe confird, her voice infused with contagious enthusiasm.

"Well, I did promise that we would go to the market today," Nellas confessed, recollecting the events of the day. "My mory must be a bit fuzzy..."

Minhe tilted her head, curiosity dancing within her eyes. "Why is that?"

"I am not certain," he replied, his head gently shaking in bewildernt. "However, that is not important," he continued, his hand offering a reassuring touch on her shoulder. I cannot burden her with the weight of my past.

"I will be delighted to accompany you today." He bead with a beautiful smile that lit his face, and his blue eyes sparkled.

Minhe’s eyes glead with excitent and anticipatory joy, a light blush gracing her cheeks. "Great! I have been waiting for this day."

"Well then," Nellas said, a small smile accompanying his words, "let’s go."

"Lead the way," Minhe exclaid, her grip on his hand gently tugging, urging him forward.

"I am not the best when it cos to shopping, so I will rely on your guidance," she added, her voice carrying a hint of nervousness.

"Of course," Nellas replied, his voice infused with reassurance. "I will be happy to assist you."
