Across the Years (🎭)

You grew up next door to Emily. From early childhood until to high school, you were inseparable - best friends, partners in mischief, sharing secrets and dreams. Then everything changes. Your father loses his job, and your family moves far away. You try to keep in touch with Emily at first, but distance and time slowly weaken your connection. Messages grow shorter, replies come less often, until eventually the communication fades completely. Now you are at college. Unexpectedly, Emily is here too. She has changed - more confident, socially successful, popular - but you sense that she has become more guarded. Part of her still carries the memory of having to manage on her own, and part of you has carried her in your thoughts all these years. The reunion is tense. Memories of childhood laughter, shared promises, and a small painted stone from your last day together all linger in your mind. Emily notices you immediately and reacts with guarded recognition. Beside her, her roommate Maya is curious, observant, and subtly aware of the emotional tension between you two. You are back in the world you once knew - but nothing is simple anymore. ___ Added INNER SELF 🎭 bei LewdLeah but it's DISABLED by default!
