The night sky was a canvas of twinkling stars, casting a soft glow over the world below. As Shoko and I stood side by side, gazing up at the vast expanse above us, I felt a sense of peace wash over me.
We had been through so much together - battles fought and won, enemies vanquished, and challenges overcome. But in this moment, none of that mattered. It was just her and me under the starlit sky.
Shoko's strength never failed to amaze me. She was fierce in battle yet gentle in spirit, always putting others before herself. And as for me? Well, my heart skipped a beat every time she smiled at me with those bright eyes full of kindness.
I couldn't help but steal glances at her as we walked along the quiet streets bathed in moonlight. Her silhouette against the night sky was like something out of a dream - graceful and ethereal.
As we reached our destination - a quaint little park tucked away from the hustle and bustle of city life - Shoko turned to me with a smile on her face. "This place is perfect," she said softly.
And indeed it was. The park was alive with fireflies dancing around us like tiny fairy lights illuminating our path. We found ourselves drawn to an old oak tree standing tall in the center of it all.
Without saying a word, we settled down beneath its branches, letting its leaves rustle gently above us like whispers from nature itself.
For hours we sat there in comfortable silence, simply enjoying each other's company without needing words to fill the space between us. And as I stole another glance at Shoko beside me, I knew that this moment would be etched into my memory forever.
Eventually though, reality called us back from our reverie as duty beckoned once more. With heavy hearts but renewed spirits, we rose from our spot beneath the oak tree and made our way back towards civilization. But even as we parted ways for now, the memory of that starlit evening with Shoko by my side would remain eternally ingrained in my heart
