Alex sobbed all alone inside the forest, as if he were the last man in the world.
No one broke his reverie, and his tears had been incessant for a few minutes until a pair of hands wrapped around him from behind.
Instead of being surprised, the young man felt like the last piece of the puzzle had finally fallen in place.
Upon turning around, he saw a young lady with pink hair and pink eyes looking at him with tears on her face.
Alex reached out to hug her, and he held her tightly, as if to confirm that she was real, not an illusion.
Fran reciprocated his gesture, savoring his warmth as she realized that he was real too, not a mere illusion created by her loneliness and sadness.
Not a single word was spoken, for it was unnecessary.
They simply held each other, confirming that both of them were alive and together once more.
In a place that both of them couldn't see, the Dim Sum God wept bitterly.
