@idaluiso i am rotten, rotting. it is only you who sees me whole, my star, my sun. [the other blinds them, and melusine has to squint in order to take in hoshiko—the entirety of one’s being. a compliment does not ring true merely because they delight in it. many would argue to say that the one standing in front of the cosmic individual is the one to bring ruin among their galaxy. however, when hoshiko is the one who says this, melusine has their whole soul tempted to believe it. perhaps their is some good in them, if not now without any reason to do anything bad. a smile, is what first surfaces, head tilted,] sweet as sugar, do you mean it? (✿◠‿◠).. but really i’m only sweet to you, hoshiko. if it were anyone else, they would be torn apart already, like an afternoon snack. ✧!
