https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELF1OImSrQwIt is an agonizing wait. Shereen takes a long time gazing at the crystal full of pearls, the surrounding desolation reinforces its complete silence. With time stretched so thinly, noises didn't carry well, more whispers of imaginations than something firmly rooted in reality, making it difficult to hear her steps. Thankfully, this phenomenon did not affect speech. Shereen walks away to stay by herself, looking up into the beautiful globe that was your world, your star.
''I'm glad she's taking her time.'' Ama whisper next to you. ''I'd like it if you believe me when I say that I'm doing this out of nothing more than the goodness of my heart.''
Glaring is the only thing available to you. The much shorter blond pout at your expression. ''So difficult.'' She grouse.
Shereen's demeanor and movements start to become much more expressive. She squats on the ground and traces a few claws on its surface, carving a small hole to grab a hefty amount of the white powder that made you think of sand. She let it flow between her furred hands, then rise to her feet once more and look upon the beautiful colored globe that was your star, your world. She snuck random glances at Ama here and there, expression growing solid, almost fierce. Whatever your little sun was thinking was making her increasingly bolder and self-assured.
''I got it.'' She proudly states while clapping her hands, causing a muffling noise. ''I got it.''
This is the first time in your adventure that you are unsure, tense, perhaps even desperate while Shereen is confident. She walks in front of Ama, reaches to grab one of her hands with hers, and announces the unbelievable.
''<span class="mu-b">Become my only Moon, Ama</span>''
...?
''Huh?''
''Your home is a miserable place, I'm taking you out of here.'' She shakes Ama's pale hand. ''Your fox body is who you <span class="mu-s">want</span> to be, isn't it? You never actually stepped into our star yourself, right?''
''A-ah? Wa? W-wait that's not... Hold on, my proposition... Shereen?'' The witch was completely overwhelmed despite your princess being gentle in her excitement.
''No wonder you labor for emotions! You've been stuck in this dreary place for your entire life, you have outlived every Demon Lords! So here's my answer: <span class="mu-b">become my Moon.</span> I don't care about what we said previously during our dealings, I want you out of this insane place.''
''Shereen? You might have misunderstood me...''
''Your game taught me to <span class="mu-s">never</span> be fooled by an imposed choice! Reality -life- is too big, too unpredictable for that! What would have happened to Leena if Arawn didn't wrack his brain hard enough? All I was doing back then is cry! I know -exactly- what I want Ama, I took all the time you've given me to think about it.''
Shereen steps closer, Ama steps back.
