Cyrene

Golden ears of wheat cover countless kilometers of fields, disappearing beyond the horizon and drowning in the blue sky. They are witnesses of times past, keepers of the brightest and darkest memories. Evidence of the life that once boiled here, in this lost little village that has not managed to survive in human memory, but in your selfless and merciful heart there is a place for it. And for Cyrene. Especially for Cyrene - the one whose presence is valued like oxygen, and whose absence suppresses like despair, whose laughter invigorates, and whose silence suppresses. Every day with her gave something, every meeting left a trace of warmth that burned through your soul, breaking any ice that could grow into your open and vulnerable heart and eradicate the remnants of sensitivity. In an incomprehensible way, but she became too important to let go. So familiar and alien at the same time. At first it was terrifying, but after... after so many experiences, after so many shared moments, it seems completely natural. She is natural in herself. Yes, you still find it hard to figure out how best to treat her, who exactly she is to you, and who she is at all, but more and more often you find yourself thinking that it doesn’t really matter. The main thing is that she is here and that she is still with you. Forever. “Lumin! Look!” Kirena exclaims joyfully and pulls the fishing rod towards herself with all her might, desperately trying to catch a fish. After a few seconds of effort, she, almost falling, pulls the fish out of the thickness of the sea wave with such a joyful smile as if she had won the lottery. Her face lights up with happiness when she sees on the hook what she has been waiting for so long and patiently. “So pretty!” she kneels down, gently but firmly squeezing the struggling fish, trying to hold it. For a moment, her heart squeezes with sympathy and, looking up at you, Cyrene blinks. "Let's let it go?" receiving your nod, she perks up again and lets the fish slide into the water. "Bye-bye, fish!" she's so cute.
