Just after they close, it feels like they immediately open. I feel myself laying on the ground but am unaware of exactly where I am.

Wait... Was I previously even laying on the ground...?

A hand then reaches down to me as my eyes flicker and adjust to the light. I squint due to the brightness behind the figure as I take the hand. I am lifted up and I look around.

What the?! Where am I?

I look down at where I had apparently been sleeping, slowly spinning around, I follow the twirled up black silk sheet on the ground where I stand.

That's so...weird.

I then look around me and at the room that seems like the set of some music video or something like that, before I turn my head quickly back to the person with me.

... Jah-?!

Surprise over takes my heart.

It's him!

He stands there, patiently waiting for me to finish looking around, chuckling after I finally pay attention to him. I smile back at him.

What is going on...?

Jah! It really is you!

He opens his arms after our eyes remain locked onto each other for what seems like a long while. I do not hesitate and hug him.

"Jahboy, I'm sorry-" I try and say amidst my excitement.

"Don't be. It's okay... Take your time." He says as I step back to look at him.

Where I am doesn't even matter anymore... How'd I not even see him, first thing?! Was it even him-

"Hey, Jah!" I call and he drops his head to hear me.

I giggle at how ridiculous what I am about to ask him is.

"Why are you- Why're you not wearing a shirt?" I ask and he laughs with me, his eyes quickly traveling down my own body as he holds a smirk.

This guy...

I smile, awaiting his answer.

"You know, given you always are-" I begin explaining why my question sounded ridiculous.

"Well, at least I'm wearing something..." He comments strangely, sending confusion through me as I wreck my brain.

He smirks to which I look down.

"AH-?!" I scream, noticing that my body is bare.

Jahseh laughs on, in the background as I study my strangely nude and yet...covered up body. My nipples and every other intimate area seems shielded by my own skin. As if I were a lizard or something.

I look like an undetailed drawing. Only... there are some details-

"Okay. Come on, let's go." He says, interlocking our fingers as I watch him step forwards.
