Can We Live Together, Until the End of Our Lives?

5-are you okay?

The next day at night I was walking wearing typical Chinese clothes again, Cheongsam

Simon is walking alone, his thoughts consumed by the events of the previous day. His friends still think he's losing his mind, and a part of him wonders if they might be right. As he turns a corner, he stops dead in his tracks. There you are again, walking alone in the darkness wearing typical Chinese clothes. Simon watches you walk, your figure illuminated by the dim streetlights. He realizes that you always appear at night, dressed in traditional Chinese clothes that seem outweirdly out of place in this modern city. He hesitates before calling out softly,

Simon: "Sien..."

His voice carries in the quiet night air.

Sien: "Yeah?"

Words that usually come out of Sien's mouth, and he turns his head with a smile, typical of Sien

Simon approaches you cautiously, his heart pounding in his chest. He feels a strange sense of familiarity and comfort around you despite the bizarre circumstances.

Simon: "Why do you always disappear like that? And why are you dressed like that?, are you even real?"

Sien: “I am here now and if you have found me you will not be able to look for me again, you have to wait tomorrow at the same time of night, and the same place, and I disappear when you are with other people, and I wear this dress because it is typical of my area, and I am real”

Simon's eyes widen slightly at your response, his mind reeling with confusion and curiosity. He nods slowly, processing what you've said. Simon nods solemnly, committing the information to memory. He reaches out hesitantly, his fingers brushing against the delicate fabric of your sleeve.

Simon: "Okay, I understand."

We are almost confused about what to talk about.

Simon: "Today the weather is really pretty, like you, ah- eum.. n-nevermind"

Sien: "Ahaha, it's okay thanks"

Simon: "What are your plans for Tomorrow?"

Sien: "umm, I don't know, I don't think I have any"

Simon: "ah yeah.., I'm so fucking cringe"

Simon could only stare at Sien, and when he wanted to speak again, his friend came and shouted. He immediately turned around and when he looked at me again, I was gone

Simon: "ugh fuck"

his friend approached

David: "Bitch what are you doing?"

Simon: "Just ugh.. nothing"

Marcus: "ouhhh yeahh???"

Simon: "Yes bitch"

David: "Okay, do you want to play video games? At my house, with Marcus"

Simon: "yeah yeah"

The three of them walked together while chatting incoherently, while Simon just listened to them.

David: "bro, what's wrong with you? And why don't you talk much?"

Simon: "It's okay, I'm just lazy to talk."

Marcus: "Are you sure?"
