Yeah, my first light. [ Maria and Baam are lights, stars, and Tatara is fireworks.
his expression is wistful, nostalgic, full of many things--not at all unlike how tatara looked when he brought up his king. usually he schools his expression blank when he talks about her, but he's committed to sharing with tatara all of how he actually feels. ]
I met her one day when I was cutting school, fishing. Back then I didn't really care about anything, I was born to make my sister a Princess and that was it. I didn't put thought into anything else, into becoming a Ranker, climbing the Tower, or any of that.
The teacher had sent her to find me and bring me back to school, but I couldn't be bothered with classes that had no meaning to me and that involved any actual effort on my part at all. I don't remember how many times she met me by the water until I actually had a real conversation with her, but at some point she became more to me than someone who kept making me lose all my fish.
[ he looks out at his line in the sea, but it rolls with the waves and nothing else. ]
Maria was...a miracle. She was warm, fiery even, unlike everyone else in our family. And she had a light to her that should have been extinguished but never was. I guess you could say she made me curious about actually living.
...that's how it all started. [ a lot of things, everything, as far as he's concerned when it comes to himself. he pauses here to look at his boyfriend, he knows he's following but it's taking conscious effort on his part not to get sucked up into the sea of his past. ]
