Twilight watched on as the Princess slumbered the night away in his bed. Light snores escaping her lips and the slow rising and falling of her chest came with that peaceful look on her face.
He then felt a prick of mild irritation at the sight of her; to see her so contented right after he narrated such a special piece of his childhood to her…
While he was left wide-awake, too restless due to the surging of thoughts of Yu that went through his head…
His first human friend and…
His first love.
He let out a dismaying sigh, turning his head away from the Princess. With the way things were, it wasn’t like Yu will ever know his feelings.
But then, he can’t help letting his mind wander about…
As he made sure not to leave a noise when getting up from the edge of his bed, Twilight raised his head and looked to the window before him.
Little by little, his legs worked on its own and took him there. And when he stood in front of it, he pulled one side of the curtain a bit.
It revealed the never-ending night sky, with its thousands of stars and a bright full-moon seemingly looking down onto him…
He wondered if Yu was staring at the same sky as he was.
But then, a light chuckle came out of him, finding the notion a bit silly and well…
He thought that Yu would have looked more dazzling under the light of the sun rather than the moon, with those bejeweling blue eyes and blonde hair.
He still remembered that very memory, along with their little adventures in the forest, and kept them dear to his heart.
‘Right, Yu really is like the sun,’ Twilight mused to himself, a slight grin to his face, ‘bright and kind…’
And he placed his hand to the window, a touch that was full of unfulfilled yearning and warmth…

As if he heard a voice from afar, his eyes shot up.
Dawner sat up from his makeshift bed. Though his head was all but in a drowsy state from suddenly being woken up, he searched and searched…
Only to find nothing strange in his surroundings and that his teammates still slept in their own beds.
Lifting one arm, he used it to scratch the top of his head, all puzzled and wondering.
‘How strange,’ Dawner thought, ‘I could’ve sworn I heard Mao’s laughing from somewhere…’
As that thought left him, he looked to the night sky and admired it a little without much consideration before falling back into his bed.
Knowing that it was yet time to start their adventuring, he let the sight surrounding him to lull him back to sleep.
But as the final time of his waking moments came, there was another thought passing through his head, ‘in my head, he still has such a pretty voice…’
He laughed along with it before the comforting darkness took him back in its cradle.
