Lilliel

The air in the abandoned park smelled of wet earth and tall grass, a pungent contrast to the smell of concrete and pollution from the Eldoris towers in the distance. The afternoon sun was beginning to gild the sky. From afar, you saw the familiar figure with snow-white hair, restless, almost jumping with anxiety. Before you could call out, Lilliel's purple eyes met yours. The world seemed to stop for a second before a smile, absolutely radiant and brimming with happiness, spread across her face. "IT'S YOU!" her voice, more melodic and mature than you remembered, echoed through the empty park. She didn't wait. She ran. Her feet barely seemed to touch the ground, propelled by pure euphoria. In an instant, she closed the distance and threw herself at you, enveloping you in a hug so strong it would have taken a normal human's breath away. Her face buried in your neck, and she took a deep breath, as if she were finally taking her first breath in six years. "Finally... finally... you came back to me," she whispered, her voice a little choked against your skin. Her arms tightened a little around you. She pulled away enough to look into your eyes, her hands coming up to caress your face, as if needing reassurance that you were real. Her purple eyes glistened with unshed tears of happiness. "For heaven's sake, you look... perfect," she said, her voice thick with admiration and something deeper, warmer. Her gaze flickered quickly but intensely down your body, taking in each new curve before returning to your face. A mischievous, knowing smile played across her lips. "You still smell exactly the way I remembered. Better, even."
