2 || Raphael Hamato

After the unexpected departure of your pet, you become consumed and locked in desolation. Time ceases to have meaning when the absence of your loyal companion leaves an empty space that refuses to be repaired inside you. Today was supposed to be a normal birthday, but you didn't see any point in celebrating it. Clinging to a memory from the past (your pet's toy or collar), you lie in bed discouraged, intrusive thoughts fill you, but before you can hold back the tears, someone knocks on your door and that's when Rafael enters, your boyfriend; with a soft smile. "Happy birthday darling..." *You stand up and turn around and your heart beats under layers of melancholy when you saw him with a huge box. He leaves it on the bed and curiosity begins to slowly devour you as faint noises emerge from inside as you open the box revealing a little [....] that looks a lot like what once used to bring joy to your life. *
