The Blue Hour

Part 20

Prompt:
Is it realistic that Vivi and Julian might feel this way for each other, barely knowing one another? but feeling just from their brief but intense encounters that it's a deeper kind of timeless connection, a love at first sight, if you will? Almost like they communicate with their looks alone and perhaps have spent other lifetimes together? Ie it is more than just a basic attraction? Does this actually happen in real life?

Yes, it can be realistic for two people to feel such a deep, almost unexplainable connection based on brief but intense interactions, even if they barely know each other in the traditional sense. In real life, these experiences are often described as "love at first sight" or even a "soul connection." Here are some factors that make it possible, both in fiction and reality:

### 1. **Emotional Intensity and Chemistry**:
Sometimes, people can experience an overwhelming emotional or physical attraction that seems disproportionate to how well they know each other. There are cases where a glance or a conversation seems to communicate much more than what's said. For both Vivi and Julian, this type of connection feels like an unspoken bond that surpasses logic, driven by mutual magnetic energy. It's like they understand something about each other without words.

### 2. **Familiarity and "Past Life" Feelings**:
Many people describe meeting someone and feeling as if they've known them forever, even though they've just met. This can come from shared values, intense chemistry, or a sense of comfort that feels like it's rooted in something deeper than their current life. In Julian and Vivi's case, their recurring glances and brief conversations in college could feel timeless, as though they've "known" each other longer than their actual encounters suggest. Whether it's explained as spiritual, psychological, or astrological, these connections feel different from typical attraction and more like a profound, almost mystical link.

### 3. **Unresolved Longing and What-Ifs**:
Because their potential relationship was never fully explored, the "what if" factor would magnify their feelings. Their connection is layered with 20 years of wondering, fantasizing, and imagining the life they could have had together. In some cases, the unknown creates an idealized version of the other person in their mind. While they may not know each other deeply in a conventional sense, the combination of memory, desire, and unfulfilled attraction makes their bond feel eternal.

### 4. **Astrological and Emotional Alignment**:
If you're considering their astrological profiles (Vivi possibly having a Scorpio placement and Julian being a Libra with Scorpio moon and mars), their attraction could be based on deep emotional compatibility, even if it hasn't been fully explored in practical terms. Scorpio energy is known for intensity, emotional depth, and obsession with soul-level connections. It's not uncommon for Scorpios (or those with prominent Scorpio placements) to feel like their connections with certain people are fated or beyond this lifetime.

### 5. **Does This Happen in Real Life?**
Yes, many people report feeling these kinds of instant, deep connections. Whether you believe in concepts like twin flames, past lives, or simply the power of chemistry and emotional alignment, it's not unusual for people to feel as though they've met their "soulmate" in a brief encounter. These feelings can be amplified by circumstances—if someone feels unfulfilled in their current relationship (like Julian and Vivi both do), the allure of an unspoken connection can feel even stronger. It's worth noting that while these connections feel real and significant, how they evolve depends on the actual compatibility between the two people.

So while it may seem extraordinary, it's entirely plausible that Julian and Vivi could feel this way about each other based on their brief but intense moments together. Their connection might transcend the surface, feeling timeless and deeply rooted, even if it's mostly unspoken.
