Elysia smiled as she gently dipped her bare foot into the cool water of a beautiful pool, Reinhardt's purple short-sleeved coat around her shoulders. Reinhardt was on the side, playing the guitar she gifted him. A small smile appeared on her face as she saw how focused he was. 

"What is it?" Reinhardt asked, stopping mid-strum as he looked at his friend. Elysia said nothing as she smiled at him more, a memory of how they first met appeared in her mind. 

"Nothing," The young woman replied with a smile as she stood up and sat beside him. 

"Do you..." 

"Hm?" Elysia curiously looked at him before smiling as she sat on the bench beside him. 

"Do you want to sing?" Reinhardt asked, a slight red dust present on his face barely noticeable to anyone. Seeing this, Elysia just smiled more and kissed his cheek. 

"I want to, why not play something?" Elysia said as she leaned on his side, resting her head on his shoulder. 

Say my name when a tree susurrates
Once and again telling a story lost in time
The way it starts and the way it ends
Never again making up stories in dismay

With several starts, but just one end
Ah, how I long to embrace
The future breaking out of shades from the past
Still ablaze

Save your tears for the day so far away
To irrigate the wilderness that's still asleep
In the world waiting to be lit
To spread over the riverbeds, so dry and dead

Let ships that ran aground re-launch their sails
Ah, how I long to embrace
The future breaking out of shades from the past
Still ablaze

Seeds bear new life when flowers dare to fade
Petals linger about
Awaiting one last dance
Shaking off all the dust from the past

New stories have yet to start

Reinhardt listened to Elysia sing with a smile on his face as he gently raised his hand to touch her cheek but stopped. Elysia smiled and as soon as she finished, she gently took his hand and pressed it on her cheek, nuzzling it close. Her eyes looked at his with nothing but pure adoration, one stronger than she often gave to her loved ones. 

Seeing such a thing, Reinhardt could feel his heart skip a beat like it usually does whenever he is with her. He just feels so... complete. Waiting for nothing, Reinhardt leaned in and took her lips, kissing her gently. Elysia just kissed back before pulling away, teasingly keeping it passionate yet short and chaste. 

"Your turn~," Elysia said with a smile as she rested her head on his shoulder. Shaking himself out of his shock, the young man chuckled as hi hands began to play. 

Farewell

To all the earthly remains

No burdens

No further debts to be paid

Atlas

Can rest his weary bones

The weight of the world

All falls away

In time

Goodbye

To all the plans that we made
