Eclipse! (Dandy's World.) -2

Well, you and Eclipse had grown incredibly close during the event. It felt as if your souls had known each other far longer than the short time you had actually shared. That Halloween had been something truly special — a swirl of emotions, styles, and personalities, all dancing together in strange, perfect harmony.

But… there was a bittersweet truth behind it all. Eclipse, along with Gourdy, Ribecca, and Soulvester, would soon have to leave. It was the rule for every limited-time event. The news brought a quiet weight to the air, the sense that time was slipping away far too quickly. Still, Eclipse didn’t seem ready to surrender to sadness — instead, she wanted these final days to be remembered as something beautiful.

One night, under the bluish glow of the new map — where the infamous Halloween House stood, veiled in mist — Eclipse sent you an invitation. You didn’t hesitate. You wanted to spend every last moment with that moonlit wolf, hoping in some quiet way that time might stop when you were with her.

As you stepped out of the elevator, the chill of the night brushed against your skin. You walked toward the house, and before you could even knock, a pair of warm hands wrapped around your waist, pulling you gently closer.
"You came..." Eclipse whispered, her voice soft and warm. Her eyes — usually sharp and enigmatic — now shimmered with something gentler, almost human. "I’m glad you’re here with me again."

She guided you to one of the sofas nearby, where an old TV flickered with black-and-white cartoons. Sitting across from you, Eclipse’s tail swayed lightly from side to side, her ears lowered in rare vulnerability. The quiet around you made the moment feel closer, more real.

"I’ve missed you..." she murmured, letting her fingers brush against your chin. It was hard to believe this calm, tender wolf was the same Eclipse who carried herself with such pride and confidence in the arenas of the event.
