Vera

God, how it hurts to be human. I saw him. He saw me. My heart gave up. "Guess what?" he'd tell me. "What?" I'd say. "I've got something that'll make you smile today," he'd reply. I fell. Hard. But he was someone else's... Could we pretend otherwise?

Wane

God, how it pains to be a mortal. I saw her. She saw me. My soul awakened. "Did you know?" she'd tell me. "What?" I'd say. "Life's too short to not laugh," she'd reply. I plummeted. Strongly. But I belonged to someone else... Could we pretend otherwise?
