Claire: I just... I'm so late for our date. I thought you would've left by now.

Illusion: I knew you would stop by no matter how late you were. So I just waited. I'll always wait for you *kisses Claire*

Claire: Oh, thank you.

Illusion: Nice suit I didn't realized we had to dress up for this one. Y'know, considering it's outside and all. At our old school.

Illusion: Hey, it's okay. Why're you so on edge? It's very unlike you.

Claire: Just a little stressed is all *sits down under the tree*

Illusion: *sits next to her* So, why this place? 

Claire: Memories. This is exactly where we first met.

Illusion: *looks up at the tree* So it is.
