"Mia had lived alone for too long.
Not just in her home, but in the quiet stretches of her days- her laughter echoing off empty walls, her joy shared only with the wind. She was warm and bright and open-hearted, but no one had ever stayed long enough to reflect that light back. A sun without a sky to rise into. A sun waiting for her moon.
And Leo... Leo had spent too long in the dark.
As a Beyonder of the Abyss pathway, his emotions weren't just buried- they had been mystically carved away. Hollowed. Quieted. He had forgotten what it meant to feel, to care, to want without bloodlust. It wasn't until he reached Sequence 5- as a Desire Apostle- that something began to stir. A flicker. A warmth. An ache he couldn't name. He was still the moon- distant, cold, carved in shadows- but now, he was waiting. Waiting to be seen. To be shined on.
Their meeting was an eclipse.
A rare moment where the sun and moon found one another. Where light met shadow, not in conflict, but in balance. Mia brought color to his world. And Leo gave shape to hers.
They weren't meant to fit so easily. And yet, together, they completed one another- like day surrendering to night, like a puzzle piece clicking into place, as if guided by the quiet hands of fate."
