I'll Love The World (like i should)

❝I get these nightmares from time to time, it's nothing.❞ Christine explained, accepting the water Felix handed her.

He clicked his tongue, ❝I know what you mean Pom-Pom, seems like everything's a nightmare these days.❞

Everything seemed to have been in slow motion, the half-empty glass falling, her heart thumping against her chest, and her scared, blue eyes made contact with his. Her hands clammy and face pale, ❝What did you just call me?❞ Her voice cracked as Felix's usual snarky composition was replaced with a look of anxiety.

It's been eleven months since Christine awoke in an abandoned building. Eleven months since she's been plagued by reoccurring nightmares of a circus, animated characters, and a certain purple haired bunny she couldn't quite get out of her mind. As Christine grapples between the line of reality and insanity, an unexpected encounter with a stranger ignites a spark of recognition. Felix, haunted by his own knowledge of the circus, finds himself drawn to Christine's vulnerability. Christine seeks answers, while Felix wrestles with the burden of the truth, unsure whether to reveal it or protect her from the horrors of their shared past.
