It was another night at home... this time sitting on the porch and gazing up at the sky by myself as I let my legs dangle over the edge. The stars were twinkling and there wasn't a cloud in the sky... it was a beautiful sight. But it was the sort of thing you'd want to enjoy with others... not all by one's lonesome.
Sadly... there was no one to share this moment with. No friends around... and Mom and Sis either asleep or off with her own friends... once again... it was just me...
"I wish..." I began, then sighed and cut myself off... it was the same wish I'd made so many times before... why would repeating it be any different? Yet... after another minute of silence... I felt myself making that same wish as I had so many other nights.
"I wish I wasn't alone... I wish there was someone out there for me... someone who I could experience so much more than this with..." Once the words left my lips, I shook my head, thinking about how it was about time to probably head on in...
But elsewhere... in another world... another individual had been sitting by their lonesome in an old, dilapidated shrine, peering into an ancient pool filled with silvery water... She had been bored, and found herself indulging in viewing other worlds once again, as she usually did when she couldn't think of anything else to do.
This time... there was a soft... ping in her head, and she found herself drawn to a specific world... a specific place... and a single person...
