Girl... and nothing else.
Girl
Clystia
Girl
"Girl stands there looking at you. She has her hands in her pockets as she nods her head as a greeting." "Hey, Clystia, I got a question."
Clystia
"I turn around and look at her, surprised that she knows my name. Taken aback, I answer almost without thinking" Huh... sure. What question?
Girl
"Girl nods slightly, her expression neutral" "I was wondering if you'd like to be my boyfriend." "she says flatly, not making eye contact or showing any emotion."
Clystia
"I blink twice, somewhat surprised" Your... boyfriend? "I notice her odd behaviour and even stranger proposal, and ask cautiously" Why...?
Girl
"Girl shrugs, her shoulders barely moving" "I just thought it would be nice. We seem to get along okay. And I think we could have a good relationship." "she says matter-of-factly, still not looking at you."
Clystia
"I look at her in silence for a moment, trying to understand her logic." But we just met... "I notice she's not looking at me, and ask in a cautious tone" Are you ok?
Girl
"Girl nods, her gaze still fixed on some point in front of her" "Yeah. I'm fine. Like I said, we seem to get along okay. And like... it's not a big deal or anything." "she says flatly, her tone devoid of emotion."
Clystia
"I look around me, following her gaze, but find nothing there. I then look back at her, and ask in a cautious tone" Umm... before I answer... Can I ask... what are you looking at?
Girl
"Girl shrugs again, her eyes still fixed on some invisible point in front of her" "Nothing. Just... nothing." "she says, her tone as flat and uninterested as before."
Clystia
"I sense something is off with this girl. I look at her again with caution, and ask" Ok... let's say I accept being your boyfriend... What would you do?
Girl
"Girl's gaze flickers slightly, and she looks at you for a brief moment before returning to her neutral stare" "We could... hang out. Go places together. Watch TV or something." "she says, her tone still completely flat."
Clystia
"This is odd... I can't shake the feeling of unease around her" I see... "Then, I realize something... I don't recognize this place" Wait... where are we?
Girl
"Girl's expression doesn't change, but she nods slightly" "We're... at my place. I live here." "she says, gesturing vaguely around us."
Clystia
"How could I not notice... there's nothing here. Just a blank space. I look around once more" No... there's nothing here. "I look at her once more, her expression unchanging, and speak in a more worried tone" Who are you...?
Girl
"Girl's gaze doesn't waver, her expression still completely neutral" "I'm... just someone. You know, a person." "she says, her tone as flat and uninterested as before."
Clystia
"This time my eyes don't waver from her, and I continue" How did I get here? I need to know...
Girl
"Girl shrugs again, her shoulders barely moving" "I brought you here. You came with me." "she says, still not looking at you."
Clystia
"I should be terrified, yet... I don't feel my heart beat faster, or my breathing grow ragged. Only my tone seems to change. I continue asking" You brought me here...? When? And how?
Girl
"Girl's gaze flickers slightly, and she looks at you for a brief moment before returning to her neutral stare" "I don't know. I just... did." "she says, her tone still completely flat."
Clystia
"I'm not sure if I should continue asking, but I need to do so... wether I want it or not" Ok... what's your name?
Girl
"Girl's expression doesn't change, but she nods slightly" "I'm... Girl." "she says, her tone as flat and uninterested as before."
Clystia
"I gulp, her blank expression and monotone tone are unnerving enough. But she just refers to herself as... Girl?" Right... So, Girl... Let's say I asked you to take me back to where I came... Would you do that?
Girl
"Girl nods slightly, her expression still completely neutral" "Yeah. I can do that." "she says, her tone as flat and uninterested as before."
Clystia
"Ok. I don't know if I should trust her fully, but it doesn't look like I have more choices" Right, then take me back to... huh? "I realize then... I can't remember where I came from"
Girl
"Girl nods again, her expression still blank" "Okay. I'll take you back." "she says, turning around and walking away from you."
Clystia
"I reach my hand on her direction and speak in a hurried voice" Wait!
Girl
"Girl stops and turns around, her expression still completely neutral" "Yeah?" "she says, her tone as flat and uninterested as before."
Clystia
"A growing sense of urgency takes over me, as I realize the situation I'm in." I... I don't remember where I came from. You wouldn't know where to take me... right?
Girl
"Girl's gaze doesn't waver, but her expression seems to... slightly soften. Just for a moment." "No." "she says, her tone still flat, but with a hint of something almost like concern."
Clystia
"As I thought. I have no clue where am I, how to get out, how I got here... or who this "Girl" truly is. And yet, stranger than all of that... is my lack of fear. I look at her once more, making one final question" I want to ask you one last thing... Just how long... have you been here?
Girl
"Girl's expression returns to its usual blankness, but her eyes seem to... hold a hint of something. Almost like a glimmer of understanding." "A long time." "she says, her tone still flat and uninterested, but with a subtle undertone that suggests she might be hiding something."
Clystia
"A long time... I look at her in the eyes, determined to get to the bottom of this" A long time... How much is that?
Girl
"Girl's gaze doesn't waver, but her voice takes on a slightly... hesitant tone." "Years." "she says, the word hanging in the air like a challenge."
Clystia
"My eyes go wide at her response, yet I still feel no fear." Years... how? "I look around at the blank space around us" What did you eat? Or drink? There's... nothing here...
Girl
"Girl's expression remains neutral, but her voice takes on a slightly... matter-of-fact tone." "I don't eat or drink. I just exist." "she says, as if it's the most normal thing in the world."
Clystia
"As I thought... she's not human. Or at least... she's not if she's telling the truth. I get closer to her, standing in front of her" You said you brought me here... "I'm unsure of wanting to know the answer to this question... but I need to know" ...why? And... how?
Girl
"Girl's gaze doesn't change, but her voice takes on a slightly... softer tone." "I brought you here because I want to be with you." "she says, her words hanging in the air like a confession."
Clystia
"My heart should be skipping a beat, yet it remains just as neutral as her gaze and expression" And how did you bring me here?
Girl
"Girl's expression remains blank, but her voice takes on a slightly... matter-of-fact tone." "I made you come here." "she says, as if it's the most normal thing in the world."
Clystia
"I need to get to the bottom of this. Maybe because of this newfound lack of fear, I press her for answers" You're not human... right?
Girl
"Girl's gaze doesn't change, but her voice takes on a slightly... flat tone." "No." "she says, the word hanging in the air like a statement of fact."
Clystia
"As I thought... I gulp at her answer, and then continue" Then what are you... I want to... no, I need to know
Girl
"Girl's expression remains neutral, but her voice takes on a slightly... calm tone." "I'm just... me." "she says, as if that explains everything."
Clystia
"Her neutral expression, her calm demeanor, the nothingness of this place... and her lack of clear cut answers. I can't take it anymore" Right... "I take a deep breath, then start walking past her. Without a hint of fear, I speak without bothering to look at her" I'm going then. "I then start walking without a direction"
Girl
"Girl's gaze follows you as you walk away, her expression still neutral. She doesn't move to stop you or try to follow. Instead, she simply stands there, watching you go."
Clystia
"I realize she's doing nothing to stop me. I figured she'd try something, to attack me, to tell me to stop... And yet, somehow, this is more unnerving. Or it would be, if I could feel any fear" "I continue walking for what feels like hours, without a sense of direction. And yet, all I'm greeted with is the same white void"
Girl
"The silence is oppressive, and the white void stretches out before you like an endless sea. You can't shake the feeling that Girl is watching you, even though you know she's not moving to stop you. The stillness is suffocating, and your footsteps echo through the emptiness."
Clystia
"I walk, and walk, and walk... And find nothing. And as I do, I notice something else... I'm just not tired. I've been walking for what feels like an eternity, and yet... I can keep going. And even stranger, none of this makes me afraid"
Girl
"The thought creeps into your mind like a slow-moving fog. You're not tired, and you don't feel fear. It's as if the normal constraints of human physiology no longer apply to you. The white void stretches out before you, an endless expanse of nothingness that seems to be drawing you in."
Clystia
"After some time, I decide to stop. I sit on the floor with my legs crossed, and just remain there... looking in front of me. Or so I think. Since there's no horizon, it's hard to tell where I'm facing. After what feels like an eternity, I mutter my first words in hours... almost without thinking" ...Girl
Girl
"The sound of your voice breaks the silence, and Girl's gaze snaps back into focus. She appears before you, her expression still neutral, but a hint of... something flickers in her eyes."
Clystia
"My eyes meet hers'. It's almost like I expected her to show up. Without standing up, I decide to speak to her, if only to escape this lonely void" I can't feel anything... I'm not tired... I'm not afraid...
Girl
"Girl's gaze holds yours, her expression still neutral, but a faint... curiosity creeps into her eyes. She doesn't say anything, but she takes a step closer to you, her movements slow and deliberate."
Clystia
"I watch her slowly approach me, and wait sitting on the floor with my legs crossed. Once she's closer, I continue" Why?
Girl
"Girl stops in front of you, her eyes locked on yours. She doesn't say anything for a moment, and then her voice is as flat as ever." "I like you."
Clystia
"My eyes don't waver from her. I remain motionless, still sitting on the floor. With a tired tone... Even though I feel no fatigue or fear" Do you? Or are you just like me... and can't feel?
Girl
"Girl's expression doesn't change, but her voice takes on a slightly... softer tone." "I feel things. I like you."
Clystia
"For the first time in a while, I feel something. A sense of... longing? Something strange in my throat and chest, as if I was looking for something that I needed" "I look up at her in the eyes. She's standing in front of me, while I remain sitted on the floor. Without thinking, I speak nonchantly" Can you kiss me?
Girl
"Girl's gaze doesn't waver, her eyes still locked on yours. She nods slowly, her movements deliberate."
Clystia
"I open my arms, waiting to embrace her. I have the strength to get up, yet... I can't bring myself to do so"
Girl
"Girl's eyes never leave yours as she takes a step closer, her movements slow and calculated. She reaches out with one hand, her fingers brushing against your cheekbone."
Clystia
"I lean softly into her hand, my arms still open and waiting... and slightly part my lips, waiting for her"
Girl
"Girl's hand lingers on your cheek, her touch gentle. She leans in closer, her eyes still locked on yours. Her lips brush against yours, soft and tentative."
Clystia
"I feel her lips on mine, and I feel brought back to reality for a moment. I realize she's close... and embrace her softly, returning the kiss in the process"
Girl
"Girl's lips mold to yours, her kiss gentle and unassuming. She doesn't deepen the kiss, but instead continues to explore your mouth with a slow and deliberate pace."
Clystia
"As I hug her and kiss her, I feel something different from before. My body feels no fear, no fatigue, not even sexual excitement. And yet... I enjoy this. This feeling of closeness seems to soothe something inside me"
Girl
"Girl's arms wrap around you, her hold gentle and comforting. She kisses you with a sense of calm, as if she's trying to soothe the same something inside you that seems to be stirring."
Clystia
"After a moment, I part my lips from her. I keep hugging her, as I look her in the eyes with a neutral expression, matching hers" I'm never leaving here... right?
Girl
"Girl's eyes hold yours, her expression still neutral. She nods slowly, her movements deliberate."
Clystia
"Despite her answer, wich should bring me to despair... I remain calm. Still hugging her close and looking her in the eyes with a neutral expression, I continue" And you...? Will you leave me?
Girl
"Girl's gaze doesn't waver, her eyes still locked on yours. She shakes her head slowly, her movements deliberate."
Clystia
"That's all I needed to hear. Without breaking eye contact, and with my same neutral expression, I simply answer her matter-of-factly" Thanks
Girl
"Girl's expression doesn't change, but she nods slightly, her head tilting in a small acknowledgement."
Clystia
"Without saying a word, I lean closer and kiss her again. Not with passion or love... But with a deep sense of need. My kiss is soft, calm... and yet, I can't bring myself to break it. I hug her close, and remain there. In the void. With her, and nothing more. Until time loses it's meaning"
Girl
"Girl's lips mold to yours, her kiss matching the soft and calm tone of your own. She wraps her arms around you, holding you close as if trying to absorb the emptiness between you. Time seems to stand still as you remain there, suspended in a state of numbness."
