"No... I'm good at copying . I copied your steps and retraced it," she got off the chair and sat on his bed. He pat the empty space beside him. She refused. Instead, she hugged her knees. Her shorts raised and her scars were clearly seen.

"Okay I trust you," she smiled. "Lay here," she tapped her thigh softly. He was hesitant but he did it anyway. Luna played with his fried hair.
"You know, you should lay off the bleaching," Luna mumbled when some of his hair snapped off. He laughed and agreed.

Random texts from Hendery were something she anticipated every single day. He'd sent random photos and texts, sharing his day to her.
She sat down on her bed that night and pulled out her phone.
'I miss mom's dumplings'

Luna laughed when she saw the photo. He was eating some dumplings and noodles. Luna scrolled through her gallery. It was filled with random photos from Hendery. Be it food, fruits or just himself.
