Undine's Links
I never knew - loving someone and being in a relationship could be so. "Simple"? That can't be the word, but -- it all feels so easy and safe, like nothing's wrong. It always feels like he wants me and loves me just as much as I love him. I never feel like I'm carrying too much weight or like he's afraid of me or hates me or finds me repulsive. I-I. Wonder if that's what it's supposed to feel like.
"Undine... I owe him a lot. He's the big reason i'm here today. And even past that, he's helped me recover from the scarring it all caused. I can feel a bit of sadness within him too. I hope we can help with that."
You seem so much like you've got everything under control. You seem like all this is fun, and you're winning. B-but you're terribly miserable. I can feel it. It's giving me a headache. Please, ah... Come home to your wife soon, alright? I promise you're still wanted. I promise she cares about you. B-beyond utilitarian reasons like that thing controlling you does.
"Sorry man. This contract's a lifetime guarantee!
...and im certainly not dying.
ever.
He won't let us."
... Lunella is awfully lovely, isn't she? I hadn't noticed it before, I must have been too busy scolding Atelestia for being so vulgar towards her, but. She's, ah. Very little. Very endearing. She's intelligent and kind and I can't help but wonder what it means when she starts smiling at me like that.
"Undine is very much the opposite of Atelestia. He's more reserved and quiet. And unlike Atelestia, who is so amazingly new to me, Undine feels more like i've known him for years. We've even felt comfortable sharing a bed. It's all very surprising, but very soothing."
I'm, ah. Glad one of us at least got to find happiness back there. Please, take care of her. And good luck.
I've never met anyone named 'Undine'! I don't think I've ever even called myself that! How strange... You said he had a message for me?
Atelestia must have some sort of bottomless well of patience inside him to put up with me so gracefully. I always feel so terrible for burdening him this way, slowing him down like this. But... Despite that, I'm so, so grateful that he does put up with me. One day, I promise, I'll believe him when he says we're friends and he cares about me.
Undine's a great guy! Well. NOW he's a great guy. I can't say with certainty that he's been a great guy all his life. But hey, doesn't that count for something? He's put a lot of work into being a decent person, he should stop beating himself up so much all the time... Progress should be celebrated! It's worrying, I wonder if he thinks he'll ever be enough.
