It was a calm afternoon, when Madeon and Heart decided to chill on the riverbank. They were sitting side by side, staring blankly at the horizon, where the sun sits above it. Almost dipping in and disappear.

"It's been a rough year isn't it?", the Heart uttered. Getting Madeon's glance right away. The latter sighed. Suddenly pulled a roll of memories from the back of his head. Realized that half of his year had already passed.

"yeah, you tell me", Madeon hugged his folded legs. Feeling lonely for no apparent reason.

"So, how much hearts have you slaughtered on your way here, Madeon?", the Heart asked, leaving Madeon in silence. He tightened his grip on his own leg.

"four? no.. five", Madeon answered with a small voice. He gave a pause before letting out a heavy sigh.

"I've been an unbelievably egoistic being, am I? Claiming that I made decisions by heart, cutting relationships, burning down bridges. While in reality it was all for myself, my own comfort. Avoiding any situation that constrain me to surrender", Madeon stared blankly at the rippling river.

"I hate surrendering, cause every time I did something like that. I ended up hurting myself. Hurting you."

He continued, passing his glance to the quiescent Heart.

"But you have your reasons, Madeon. And that's not a nonsense. You've been through a lot to the point that you're very careful about stepping in a new boat with someone new", the Heart answered to his wariness.

"I'd say you make decisions way too fast, but it's understandable. Who doesn't want someone to be in their life? Cherishing each other's existence", the Heart continued. Madeon's eyes lit, founding part of the truth he need to listen. But then it withered again, as he felt like it was another reason to run away from his faults.

"You know what, in the end, whatever you did was to protect me. To protect your own self. And that's okay to put yourself first. It's okay to avoid being hurt.", the Heart leaned closer. Pulling Madeon into a warm embrace. That was heartfelt. That was wholesome and comforting.
