⁕| Reasons to Cup a Face |⁕

She was gone... There were so many things that Stelle was learning and getting used to when it came to life and the way the world works. She came across death firsthand with Tingyun, but that felt different than seeing Firefly die before her eyes. She hardly knew that girl and yet...it felt like she had known her all this time. And now, she was gone.

Stelle knew they didn't have time to waste dwelling on those who had already died--they needed to prevent any future deaths, after all--but she couldn't help but mourn the mysterious girl who entered her life. Tears filled her eyes and she tried to wipe them away, not wanting to worry her friend with her own sorrows. But it seemed Sayu didn't mind.

The silver-haired Trailblazer looked up at her friend when she felt hands gently cup her cheeks, catching her attention silently. No words were spoken--Stelle wasn't too good with them anyway--but the comfort alone was enough to soothe her aching heart. She closed her eyes, sighing softly as their foreheads touched. Yes, it hurt to lose someone you've come to care about... But Stelle knew there was still work to be done. She couldn't let anyone else she cared for get killed like Firefly and Robin.
