Beyond the Darkness

Night 3 (Even though it's been a week): Puppet

Puppet finally decided to let Czal sleep in her box. He climbed inside and looked around.

"It's much more roomy compared to the outside," said Czal.

Puppet laughed. "I'm surprised about that myself. Anyway, make yourself comfortable."

Puppet watched him get a blanket over him, and she did the same. Suddenly, all of the tension left their bodies, making them completely relaxed. Puppet never felt this way before, and she wondered why. Was it because she got into an amazing sleeping position? Or was it because she had someone she cared about nearby? Puppet had no idea.

Czal was out right afterwards. Puppet, however, looked at him, curled in a ball. Just then, Czal held onto Puppet and smiled. She pushed him away, and soon felt bad. Puppet brought Czal close.

"So this is what it feels like..." she murmured to herself.  "Love..."

Puppet kissed Czal's cheek, and fell asleep smiling.

And then the portal appeared.
