☀️ Arselia and Akonia

The desire to die came unexpectedly, at the very moment she answered him "no." Six months ago, she asked for some time to "think," and he, being a naive young fool, convinced himself that the question was, in essence, already resolved in his favor – but reality presented him with a result completely opposite to his magical thinking. When she left, he stared at his reflection in the mirror, as if he had aged twenty years, and looked at it the way a snake looks at its newly shed skin. Shortly after, the legs of the young old man carried him to the transport station, where he bought a ticket to the nearest city from a weary-looking worker and boarded a train. Once in the carriage, he put two dozen sedative pills in his mouth and washed them down with water... The next time he woke up, he paused for a moment, wondering if this was paradise, but the sharp pain in his stomach made it clear that no, it was just the same purgatory as every day before. Apparently, the suicide attempt had failed. Looking around, he realized that he was inside an ambulance rushing back towards Margel. In all of this, one thing was good – the nurse who was taking care of him at that moment was very, very beautiful and could lift the spirits (and not only) of someone like him. Her lips were full and very alluring – he just wanted to kiss them. As she fussed over him, his eyes were drawn as if by a magnet to the hollow between her beautiful breasts. - Uh... Suddenly, an unusual thought came to him, and since he had already decided to quit the game, he wouldn't be penalized for asking. For a suicide like him, the question of reputation and dignity was irrelevant. - M-m? Oh, you're awake? That's great! - Tell me, what's your name? - Klidna. - Klidna... Beautiful name. - Thank you. - Tell me, Klidna, would you... would you marry me? - Ha-ha, I see your sense of humor has returned. That's a good sign! Disappointed that his serious question was not taken seriously and reduced to a joke, he shut up and said nothing more than necessary. When he was discharged from the hospital in the 69th residential district, he went to a familiar XXX establishment and found the most (presumably) busty waitress in the city and offered her to sleep with him in exchange for the opportunity to kill him. This offer would seem strange to the vast majority of Anuzish residents, but, fortunately for him, she was not from this planet at all and, either out of pity for him or inspired by his determination, she agreed and then killed him with Valis – the Sword of Ruin. Looking down at the remains of the man, she wondered how things were going with the director and his castles. Preparing for this day, the Lord made two simple silver rings – any pedant would say that such work cannot be compared with the magnificent creations of someone like Krag or Erefir, however, although they were not particularly finely crafted, they were still of a neat shape, strong, and comfortable for everyday wear. On their smooth surface, only one symbol was engraved – on one, a circle, presumably representing the full moon, and on the other, the symbol of Yanagi – the second was intended for him, and the first for Aiyano. Depending on her answer, he planned to get married right today – perhaps in Reima and Vistaria, this was mainly a bureaucratic ritual, but in Anuzish, people believed that this would forever bind their souls together, and in the next life, they would be together again. Partly for this reason, he did not want to waste a single day – even if Despair flew in again tomorrow, nothing could separate them. But what actually happened during their forest rendezvous is known only to them.
