Hello, .

This is a story about you.

And a little bit about me.

Hailey & Lina

Chapter I

sit synestra

If someone asked me how we met, honestly… I couldn't tell them.

But I remember teasing you. A lot. Especially after you wrote this in guild chat:

[Guild] PsychoSpectre: sit synestra

Then you messaged me on Discord to apologise. You meant sky. Not synestra. Sky.

Somehow that turned into you bragging about your driving. Eleven years, not a single crash.

All while driving and texting me at the same time. πŸ™ƒ

You said you were going away for a bit. Phone off, some distance, nothing to worry about. I told you I'd been thinking about doing the same.

Then we got to the gym. You smirked: 130 kg on leg press, can you keep up?

230.

That was back then. These days?

270.

Just saying. πŸ’ͺ

When you got where you were going, you said you'd talk to me on Monday.

On Monday, you sent me pictures from your trip.

And somehow, it never really stopped.

Chapter II

The Accidental Follow

We started sending each other reels. When you share a reel, Instagram shows your profile with it…

…and I clicked follow. By accident. Completely.

You joked about whether you should accept it.

(You did.)

You'd send me voice messages from work. Stories about your colleagues, whatever chaos was going on that day.

We ran Arena of Solare together. I introduced you to Siso, who's now our friend.

We had fun. We just liked each other's company.

Chapter III

The Days I Went Quiet

Then I made a mistake.

Someone told me things about you. Instead of coming to you, I listened to them, and I went quiet.

A few days of silence. I still think about them.

When I came back and explained, you were hurt. You had every right to be.

It wasn't the same for a while. I knew that was on me.

So I stayed. Bit by bit, message by message, it started to heal.

I'm sorry, . I should have just asked you.

Chapter IV

A House in Kamasylvia

One day, you invited me over. To your house.

We sat there joking, and somewhere between the jokes we started unpacking the “packages” we both carry.

You told me about things nobody should ever have had to carry. I listened. I still do.

And you told me about the end of 2027.

I hope for that date with my whole heart.

Chapter V

From Noon Until Sleep

After that, we talked more. Then a lot more.

on call Β· 12:00

Calls started at noon and ended when one of us fell asleep. Usually me, with the phone still connected.

You'd hang up in the middle of the night because your alarm wouldn't ring while we were on call.

I kept saying I'd wake you up, no problem. The offer still stands.

We sent each other breakfast and lunch pictures. At first you praised mine…

🍳 Rate his breakfast

(it's the same one as yesterday)

Gym diet. Same food every single day. It is what it is.

Meanwhile, the food you showed me looked like it came out of a restaurant. Unfair.

Chapter VI

The Manor

Then came the Manor.

You'd watched other people's manors on YouTube, and you had a vision: yours would look insane, and it would be completely yours.

So we went on adventures. Quests, NPCs, hunting down knowledge… and diving into the ocean for some godforsaken chests.

🌊 Daily dive

10 keys. One chance at the manor item each time.

I was so happy I could help you with it. Honestly, I'd have dived all day.

Then the Lion manor item. Knowledge, NPCs, quests, endless amity games…

…in matching Calpheon dresses. Strictly for the amity bonus, obviously.

I hopped on your account to do quests for you. You hopped on mine for War of the Roses and shrine bosses. We had each other's backs.

And then there was the funniest moment of all.

I logged into your account and, just for fun, tapped your main-hand…

Main-Hand Weapon
OCT (VIII)

I logged off instantly, pretending I was annoyed you'd used up my RNG.

Truth is, I was grinning like an idiot. I love watching you win.

Chapter VII

Back to the 80s

One late night, we sent our photos to an AI and asked it to take us back to the 80s.

Her, 80s edition
totally radical
Me, 80s edition
…and this guy

You loved yours. We both made them our profile pictures…

…and then somehow convinced half the guild to do the same. Funny as hell.

Interlude

The Ones Who Love You Most

Two little bodyguards who get all your love every single day.

Lucky them.

For Luca

Luca

Before the guilds and the manors and the late night calls, there was a girl and a black horse named Luca.

I know Luca still holds a piece of your heart.

Some loves don't end when the goodbye comes. They just move somewhere quieter.

Luca was lucky to be loved by you.

Chapter VIII

The Quiet Season

Then things went quiet again. Not because of me this time, but I didn't know that.

I blamed League of Legends. I wondered if it was me.

You kept saying you were fine. That you didn't want distance, you were just going through things.

You were fighting a battle I couldn't see. And from this far away, I couldn't do much more than be there.

So I did what I could.

Lately, you're doing better, bit by bit.

I'm so, so glad.

Chapter IX

princess > girls

And then, recently, you told me something.

You'd told Siso that if we still talk… you'll come to me by the end of 2027.

I meant it.

Which brings us to today.

Your day.

The two of us, 80s edition

Happy Birthday,

I asked for your address about a million times. You're one tough nut to crack. πŸ™‚

So instead, here's something for every stream, every walk with Hailey and Lina, every drive.

(Eleven years, no crashes. Keep it that way.)

No more ads in the middle of your songs.
