While looking up at the stars Alice says, “Did you know I was terrified of the night when I left Makai? In Makai, there is no sun or moon. A place is either dark or it’s red or blue or… you get the idea. When I left Makai and the Sun disappeared for the first time…”

Anon provides, “You thought it was some major catastrophe?”

Not quite sure why she’s sharing this embarrassing secret, Alice nods. “I umm was crying when I called on Shinki to save me. She… really milked the next few hours by explaining how the solar system works.”

Anon chuckles, “I can’t blame her. It’s admittedly a nice feeling to help your kid when they’re terrified of something very inane. Hana was scared of vines because she thought they’d try to get her when she wasn’t looking. I still don’t have any idea where that came from, but having her refuse to move forward because there was a vine in the general vicinity was… an experience.”

There’s a silence after that. She can’t quite say how long it lasted, but given it didn’t last for an eternity, it was all too short.

Anon, after staring at her face for who knows how long, stirred finally by leaning slightly towards Alice, before she could ask what he was doing he suddenly frowned and returned to where he was originally. “Alice would you… would you like a kiss?”

W-Would she… Being very deliberate to not squeak again, she replies with a cough this time, “Y-Yes… I would… I-”

Alice’s stammerings were cut off by a light peck on the lips. She could barely savor the moment for a second however, as soon as Anon pulls back all the dolls begin to celebrate.

Alice can’t help but redden and puff up her cheeks as the dolls begin embracing and high-fiving as if she were some spectacle! Even Shanghai betrays her as she exchanges a look with the doll Alice gave to Anon and fistbumps her.

Anon laughing at her, or no… he’s not, he’s laughing at the dolls. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry it’s just seeing all of them act like their team just got a tiebreaking score at the last second, it’s… But, that was nice. Thank you for everything.”

Alice feels tempted to look down, but forces herself to maintain eye contact with Anon, “I should say the same. I… w-when you’re free from this place, I’d like to... see you more. You’re very pleasant company.”

Anon smiles, “I’ll look forward to it.”

This went on longer than I intended it to. I hope it isn't a drag to read.
