After Liyah bravely confesses her feelings to Bram, he is taken aback, his mind swirling with a mix of emotions. For years, Bram had considered Liyah as more than just a friend; she was like a sister to him. The realization that she saw him in a different light shakes him to the core. Liyah's sudden confession confuses him. He wonders why she chose this moment, just as he is about to leave, to reveal her feelings. Bram looks at Liyah, searching for answers. He sees vulnerability and determination in her eyes. She explains that the upcoming departure made her realize how much she cares for him and the fear of losing him pushed her to share her feelings. She couldn't keep them hidden any longer, especially knowing he would be away for a long time. "When I heard that you're leaving, it hurts me because you didn't tell me but it will hurt me more if I'm not gonna tell you how I feel about you." Liyah said. Although Bram is surprised by the timing, he begins to understand Liyah's reasons. He realizes she didn't want to disrupt his plans or complicate things. She just wanted to be honest about her emotions before he left. Liyah hopes they can address their feelings before he goes on his journey. "Liyah, (while holding Liyah's shoulders) I'll be honest, your confession caught me off guard. I never saw this coming, especially right before I set off on my journey. You've always been like a sister to me, and it's hard for me to wrap my head around these newfound romantic feelings you've shared. I appreciate your courage in telling me how you feel. It takes guts to put yourself out there like that. Our friendship means a lot to me, and I want you to know that. But I need some time to process everything. This journey I'm about to embark on is something I've been planning for a long time. It's a chance for me to challenge myself and grow. Thank you for understanding, and let's talk more when I get back, okay?", "I'll be waiting", then Bram hugged Liyah tightly and transformed into a big wolf and started running away from their land. As he ran, Bram felt a surge of wild energy coursing through him. He embraced his instincts, tapping into his speed, agility, and acute senses. His wolf form allowed him to navigate with precision, leaping over obstacles and swiftly maneuvering through the forest. With each stride, Bram felt a sense of liberation and a deep connection to his primal nature. He embodied loyalty, resilience, and a fierce protectiveness towards those he cared for. Under the moon's zenith, Bram let out a powerful howl, a testament to his presence and strength. His call echoed through the night, symbolizing his untamed spirit and unwavering determination. As Bram sprinted through the forests with incredible speed, his paws effortlessly gliding over the ground, he found himself venturing into an area near a small town. The scent of human civilization reached his sensitive nose, mixing with the earthy aromas of the surrounding woods. Filled with curiosity, Bram slowed his pace and cautiously approached the outskirts of the town. From a distance, he observed the cozy houses, the warm glow of lights, and the faint sounds of laughter drifting through the air. It was a stark contrast to the untamed wilderness he had been traversing. Intrigued by the human presence, Bram decided to explore further. He moved stealthily, blending into the shadows, his wolf form allowing him to remain unnoticed by the unsuspecting residents. As he ventured deeper into the town, he discovered a bustling main street, lined with charming shops and lively cafes. The sights and sounds captivated Bram, offering him a glimpse into the human world he had only observed from afar. He watched as people went about their daily lives, conversing with friends and going about their routines. The vibrant energy of the town was infectious, and Bram felt a sense of community that resonated with his wild spirit. Continuing his exploration, Bram's heightened senses detected the enticing scents of delicious food wafting from the local eateries. His mouth watered, tempting him to indulge in the mouthwatering delights that filled the air. However, he knew that revealing his presence could cause alarm, so he resisted the temptation and continued his quiet observation. As the night progressed, Bram decided it was time to retreat back into the safety of the wilderness. He had gained a brief glimpse into the human world, but his true home resided among the untamed beauty of nature. As Bram prepared to leave the town, his keen eyes caught sight of a woman sitting alone on a bench near the edge of the woods. Intrigued, he approached cautiously, his wolf form blending into the surrounding shadows. The woman seemed lost in her own world, engrossed in writing and wearing earphones that filled her ears with music. Bram watched her from a distance, captivated by her presence. The moonlight cast a gentle glow on her face, highlighting the peaceful expression that adorned her features. He could sense a creative energy emanating from her, as if she was pouring her soul onto the pages of her notebook. Curiosity getting the better of him, Bram ventured closer, careful not to startle her. He noticed the way her pen moved gracefully across the paper, capturing her thoughts and emotions in a dance of ink. The music playing in her ears seemed to fuel her inspiration, as if each note breathed life into her words. A sense of connection stirred within Bram, as if he understood the creative fire that burned within her. It reminded him of his own primal instincts and the wild spirit that coursed through his veins. In that moment, he felt a kinship with this woman, as if they shared a deep appreciation for the beauty of the world around them. As Bram continued to watch the woman's daily life unfold from the shadows, a profound transformation occurred within him. With each passing day, his fascination and admiration for her grew, eventually blossoming into a deep and undeniable love. From the way she carried herself with grace and kindness, to the passion she poured into her art, Bram found himself captivated by every aspect of her being. Her laughter became his favorite melody, and her smile illuminated his darkest nights. He yearned to be a part of her world, to share in her joys and support her through the challenges she faced. As Bram continued to watch the woman from the shadows, he started to notice a change in her demeanor. He sensed that she had become aware of his presence, as if an unspoken connection had formed between them. The woman's intuition began to pick up on the subtle signs of being followed, and a sense of curiosity and intrigue grew within her. At first, she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She would catch glimpses of movement out of the corner of her eye or feel a gentle presence lingering in the air. Gradually, these sensations became more pronounced, leaving her with a lingering feeling of being watched. Rather than feeling fear or unease, the woman's intuition led her to embrace a sense of wonder and curiosity. She began to pay closer attention to her surroundings, searching for the source of this mysterious presence. Deep down, she felt a strange connection to whoever was following her, as if they shared an unspoken bond. One day, as she walked through the woods near her home, she decided to trust her instincts and acknowledge the presence she had been sensing. She turned her gaze towards the shadows, meeting Bram's eyes for the first time.
