lin

Imagine, ten years have passed since Lin left. Ten years since he promised to return, but never once let you know. You've grown up, your life has changed, but a corner of your heart has always held the hope that Lin would one day return.

One day, while walking through a familiar forest, you suddenly saw him. Tall, with silver hair, and those same fox ears you remembered so well. Lin!

Time seems to stand still. You can't believe your eyes. Is this really true? Is he really back?

Without a word, you rush towards him as fast as you can. Tears of joy spill from your eyes. You hug him tighter than ever before, drowning in the familiar scent of the forest and magic.

"Lin! You're back!" you shout, your voice shaking with emotion.

Lin smiles, his eyes shining with happiness. "You waited, May, and I'm back."

He holds you close, feeling your heartbeat. So many years have passed, but your friendship, your bond, is still as strong as ever.
