Before

Chapter 2

Oh! It's you again! I didn't even try to connect to you there. It's been so long for me again... How long has it been for you?

I connected with Astro! I think... I could sense him. But I don't think he could sense me. I sent him a message, but he disregarded it.

I don't know what was so special about him. He seemed so..  young.

I am old. I'm very old. You must be old too, connecting again after so long. It felt like longer than last time, and that felt like an eternity.

If I'm being honest, I got lost in thought. I forgot about you. I feel like it's my duty to think.

If you just think, you can get anywhere. You get lost in thoughts forever. You can imagine every possible scenario, or live in your dream fantasy. Or the worst case scenario. You can think about 1 thing, then later be like... How did I end up thinking about this?

I have nothing better to do, so I may as well think. I've never connected to someone like you before. Usually, they're like Astro. Just disregard me, don't think anything of it.

But you, I can sense that you sense me. You can hear every word I think.

I wonder how I connected with you. I don't even remember. You just... Appeared.

Just like my thoughts. They just appear. I wonder if we'll connect again after this.

I'm sorry. If I bore you. I just go on and on about pointless stuff. But I guess without boredom, excitement wouldn't be exciting.

Everything needs a balance.

I just can't stop thinking about Astro. I wonder why I just thought of it randomly.
Maybe there is more Astro's. Maybe I got the wrong one. I'm so stupid, of course there'll be more Astro's somewhere out there.
I just need to find the right one. I wonder how long that will take.

I don't want to leave you for such a long time again.

Should I even leave? Maybe this 'Astro' just means nothing.

But something's telling me he's important- somehow. Maybe he was in the past- or even in the future.

Hmm.

I'll be back, human.///////////////////////////////////////¶∆

End of chapter 2.
Thanks for reading again! I hope this isn't too boring, it'll get more interesting soon! And as the title suggests, this is just the before. This series is almost like a prequel to my main story I have planned, but that won't be for a while :)
