Two images. In the first, Kirika, an Au Ra Raen with face 2 horns, looks out over the bay in Old Sharlayan. She is sitting on a wheelchair and the sky is grey and overcast. We can only see the back of her.
In the second, we can see a bit of her pensive, slightly upset expression. She is wearing a red sweater, but underneath we can she see is covered in bandaging. She has bruising on her face. She is idly playing with her necklace holding the Azem crystal as she watches the rainclouds rolling in.
Two more images. Kirika looks surprised in the first as someone walks up behind her. G'raha Tia has finally tracked down his girlfriend, though he is only visible from the shoulders down.
In the second, he kneels in front of her, smiling up at her hopefully.
Two more images. In the first, it is the same angle as the last picture on the previous post, but he has tilted his head to the left slightly. He's still smiling, but he looks more concerned as he opens his mouth to speak.
In the second image, he has finished speaking but is offering her his hand. This picture is at a different angle than the last one, panned downward to see his hand and the way he is looking up at her.
Two more images. In the first, we see that Kirika has given him her hand, though she is not really holding his hands back - rather, her hand is limply curled. His fingers wrap around her wrist while his other hand comes up to help cradle her hand.
In the second shot, we see her face again. She is frowning slightly, eyes dull as she looks down at their hands rather than his face. She looks... hollow.
🐉 Au Ra April 2026 - Day 9 - Melancholy 🐉
"There you are..."
It's hard to be happy about saving the universe when you are still grieving people who died 12,000 years ago.
Post-EW was rough...
