Cloaked Heart - A love story with Sebastian (Stardew Valley)

Regrets

The room was dark and humid. She could hear water dripping in a monotonous and repeatable tempo, maybe from a sink or something. Her eyes could not get used to the shortage of light, even though she was there already for quite some time. Not sure for how long. There was no hope to see anything more than pitching black, she had no clue about anything in her surroundings. That was a bad idea. For once more, she has acted foolishly without thinking it through. Only if she could turn back the time. Back at the moment when she took the selfish decision to act in revenge against her husband. She should have just left. Now she was unsure about how this would end up. And what impact her actions would have to Sebastian and Robin. Or if she would ever be able to return back home. Disappointment and regret, burned her eyes but she was empty of tears. Her wrists were bounded behind her back and she was sitting on what it felt like a chair. Her legs were also tied together with duct tape forbidding any kind of movement. How could she get out of this situation?

Her things were taken from her. She had no idea where she was. The moment she was picked up from the highway, two men she was not familiar with, restrained her and covered her head with a pillowcase, then threw her in the minivan they were driving. Lacryma didn't expect that it would be this way. She was quite certain that Axel would be a little nicer. Who knows how many hours later, she hasn't seen him still. He wants to make her suffer and to humiliate her. She was tired and hungry. Didn't you have enough with your games Axel? What is the point of all that? You are a drama queen like always. She heard noise from somewhere outside the room. A moment later, the door opened and the person who entered, turned on the light. The sudden illumination blinded her eyes and for a few seconds she was not able to see anything. She was very unsure about what was about to happen. A female figure approached her, another unknown individual. She was dressed in a black dress cut up to her knees, her blonde hair were tied in a strict bun and her two green eyes, were looking at her with no emotion, through a pair of thick glasses. She looked like a teacher. With quick but stable moves she started removing the duct tape bonds from her wrists and and legs and while she was at it she whispered with a low pitched voice "You shouldn't be here, that was very foolish of you, Lacryma"

The woman, acted like she knew her but Lacryma was certain that they hadn't met. "Where am I? is Axel here? I need to speak to him. Who are you? Have we met?" Lacryma bombarded her with questions and then noticed that two armed men were standing by the door.

The woman avoided to look at her and her expression was completely flat and distant. "Please follow me miss. The dinner will be ready shortly and I'm instructed to make sure that you are prepared" And with no further words, she waved at Lacryma to follow her and walked towards the door. She realized that she wouldn't get any explanation for now, so she followed unwillingly. At least she would get something to eat.

The walls of his room looked like they were about to squeeze him and he felt that he couldn't breathe. I have to get out of here. Sebastian pulled under his bed a backpack and started to pack a few clothes. His laptop. And his bong. Spot was lying next to his bed and when Sebastian picked up his leash, he immediately got by the door wiggling his tail. "Shall we go home buddy? Yeah I know it's depressing here". He would go to the farm. According to Harvey, Lacryma requested that they should take care of the place until she would get back. He was missing her so much that he wanted to be in her space. He didn't know what to think. Harvey and Robin, clearly knew a lot more than what they said and he couldn't explain why he was excluded from Lacryma's plans. He thought about her last message. Her plea to never doubt her. What is going on baby? He shook his head as it was impossible to untie the knot and headed upstairs. He could hear his family sitting in the kitchen and decided to ignore them, making his way to the exit.

"Sebastian! Where are you going at this time?" Robin sounded strict and worried.

He stood still for a second then replied without turning towards her. He heard her coming his way. "I'm going to the farm. Need something?"
