Work Text:
All of the survivors and hunters were outside of the manor, so they can light up cool and colorful fireworks for the New Year's eve.
However Emma decided to stay behind and wanderer around the manor by herself.
She wasn't sure why she wanted to, but the loneliness of walking around alone felt comforting.
Maybe the loneliness reminded her about the times of spending the new year alone in the orphanage. All little Lisa could do was look outside of her window, and watch as the bright fireworks reflected her eyes. Wishing for her parents to come and pick her up, knowing that wish wouldn't come true.
Even though it was quite scary to walk around because it would get too dark inside the manor, Emma lit up a candle to have light to erase her fears.
She happily roams around the hallways of the manor, until she decides to go to the garden.
When she opens the door, she sees a familiar person. It was hastur at the garden, looking up at the glass roof that showed the fireworks up in the sky of the night. Letting out a loud sound which had jump scared Emma.
"Hi Hastur! What are you doing here?" Emma asked, both happiness and curiosity was mix with her tone of voice to see a unexpected person here. As she walked closer to him.
Hastur turned to look at her before looking up at the fireworks.
"Looking at the fireworks, and what about you?" He asked while Emma smiled, she loved it when others asked these questions.
"Well, I just wanted to be alone and wanderer around the manor." She said.
Emma stood right beside him, watching the colorful fireworks. Hastur didn't care about the fact she had invited herself to accompany him.
"Hastur, what sort of wish or something new you want to try for this new year?" Emma asked while looking at him, breaking the long silence between the two.
Hastur wasn't sure, he was indifferent towards trying something new or having a wish.
"Nothing." He answered while looking down.
Emma was surprised but found it relatable. She also was in the same shoes as him, she didn't know what else to do or wish for when she had everyone in the manor with her who made her life much better.
Until, an idea come to her.
Her expression brightens before speaking. "Well, my wish for this new year is to help you try something new!" She said while Hastur was speechless by her words.
However instead of saying anything, he stayed quiet. Emma taking this as a sign he was interested and wanted to hear more about her idea.
"I can make you try gardening! Wait, no, maybe something else like..." She tried to quickly think of another hobby to try out. "Oh, My good friend Orpheus could help you out with trying to write a story!" She suggested.
Emma looked so cheerful yapping about the amount of things she wants Hastur to try out. He didn't want to be rude and refuse her offer, so he let Emma keep talking until eventually, she had ran out of suggestions.
Emma was such a determined girl, and Hastur liked that about her.
