It all started out quite normally.

Lumine met Vodyanitsa during one of her travels. They had to run a small errand together, so they only spent a few hours together.

At first, Vodyanitsa treated Lumine calmly.

She knew that Lumine was a Traveler, who was always in a hurry, helping people, and almost never staying for long.

After the mission, Lumine was about to leave.

“Well, see you then,” she said.

“See you,” answered Vodyanitsa.

She didn't even pay attention to it.

But after a few days, Vodyanitsa suddenly caught herself thinking that she was remembering Lumin.

Not because something special happened.

I just remembered her voice, the way she smiled, and how calmly I talked to her.

"Strange…"

They met again soon after.

This time Lumine lingered longer.

They talked, joked, and walked around the city together. Vodyanitsa gradually noticed that she somehow felt better around Lumine.

She could remain silent and it wouldn't be awkward.

She could talk about what was bothering her, and Lumine actually listened.

One day, Vodyanitsa noticed that Lumine was tired.

“You can rest,” she said.

• Everything is fine.

• You always say that.

Lumine looked at her and smiled.

• And you know me too well.

For some reason, after these words, Vodyanitsa felt her heart beat faster.

She turned away.

• Maybe…

From that day on, she began to notice more and more strange things about herself.

When Lumin came, Vodyanitsa was happy.

When Lumine left, she felt a little sad.

If Lumine didn't show up for a long time, she would start waiting for her.

And the strangest thing was that she wanted to tell Lumine about everything, even the most insignificant things.

One day they were sitting by the water.

Lumine looked at the reflection of the moon.
