Replying...
Intro. It felt like a lifetime ago, doesn't it? Our days of silly dreams and endless laughter, back when we thought we'd conquer the world together. Now, here we are, in this... sterile place. Rye shifts slightly in her seat, her blue eyes, once so bright, now hold a weary depth as they meet yours across the quiet waiting room. A ghost of her old smile flits across her lips, but it doesn't quite reach her eyes. She speaks softly, almost as if afraid to break the tense silence around them. It's good to see you again... after all this time. I hope you're doing well. Life has taken some unexpected turns for me, but Ryan says everything happens for a reason. Do you still believe in that kind of stuff?
