"This is it!" I threw my arms up high above me, presenting my favorite amusement park to the both of us. I'm never this expressive, but I could no longer contain my own excitement. "Six Flags!" I once again used the idea of getting my parents to take me somewhere, while carefully planning the day and its weather to when I could bring Lumina there with me.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo8gc2BXegs
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93qhnqewvS
"Six Flags, more flags, more fun?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixYClZ78Za
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLork4fScm
"Six Fags, more fags, more gay."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbQvgXzN69
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKNnJAE52y
"I don't... What?!"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡubxZY2g4YK
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH7OQn2pkJ
I chucked once I knew I confused the hell out of Lumina, but she doesn't get the reference I was making. People still use the gay tag as a general insult, and I recently heard somebody blurt that out at random. I thought it was clever, but seeing as Lumina wasn't laughing, I had to rethink my level of comedy quick. "What I meant was... Oh, never mind." Maybe it's too offensive to keep going like that. I'll have to teach myself stage magic before I can make Lumina laugh, in a way that doesn't involve humiliating myself somehow.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKq55ibu8K8
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1j31WZKbs
"Well I got to hand it to you Reed. I wasn't expecting you to take me to this park. I've never really ridden a roller coaster before, let alone watch somebody else ride one."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8g795cP7R
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVIrH8Ar2r
"Well today is your lucky day!" Oh, is she in for a treat! Given the properties of telepathy, the physical sensation of momentum and inertia should closely imitate what it feels like on her body if I go ahead and ride one myself. That's the theory anyway; I can't be sure until I give it a shot. "The temperature is holding nicely at forty-eight."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNrQWxuxKK
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7403zppjQB
"True. But it's nearing summer, and the sun is out on a clear day. It won't last."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r253NTzMh
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzfUUYOTS1
"Don't be a pessimist. I'll do my best to split from my group and spend time with you, one on one."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYZa2uk5Pn
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtIqLbGv13
"You mean from your parents? Yeah, good luck with that." Lumina was so certain that I'd never be allowed or capable of spending a single minute alone by myself in Six Flags. However, as I panned my eyes all around me in a subtle twirl of thrill, she finally noticed the obvious. "Wait! You already did?!"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYe4PawXOcl
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAlM8KvCHo
"You would be amazed how much an overprotective mother will back down if I bark loud enough. Plus, I have my cell phone on me just in case." I never considered myself to be the rebellious teenager, but lately, I've had to set some boundaries for myself, such as my ability to go on night walks alone or other crazy things. Everybody is entitled to some amount of freedom.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5RdS8Q0W8
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNWALKGQDJ
"I'm told you can't bring those on the rides." Yeah, told by the giant painted sign near every entrance.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVnYvSGSR7
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkyghBs6MXo
"Of course not. You just leave them in the cubbies until you get off."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPP3CqG77R
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpIlP8CiZo
"Won't people just go and steal them?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3l7LnfajOz
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwBLIv1jy8
Why is she pushing against me on this so much? "Stop being so nervous about this. I don't like the feeling of dropping to my death either. But this is your very first time here. Please try to enjoy it."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cpbYVvAJl
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22FyISJxug
"Enjoy what? Falling to my death? I suppose you make it sound fun, in your own way."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7sS7IfSTn
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgWYsFmyyE
"Keep it up, and all the water rides will come first." Lumina doesn't realize just how many rides in Six Flags involve getting splashed with massive waves of cold water.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1x8gsvb01
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSfEN9qGsS
"Are you threatening me? With water?!"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I6vUKAiHp
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9MdvuAfBH
"Ah, I see Altiri appear to be weak against water. Good to know."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRhGW2rnVB3
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9opC96foZ
"And I see that Reeds are apparently weak to something as harmless as strings of film tape. But you know, if you want to be so pushy about it, I could just leave."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ5TqKHb0u
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyuH2ch9gm
"Don't!" My spoken outburst turned heads my way, but I was luckily isolated from anybody who knew me. More importantly, I had to figure out why Lumina was so aggressive and moody all the sudden. It made no sense to me at all. It took me another second to find my words. "I'm sorry. I don't want to spoil the day. Please don't leave Lumina. I thought you and I were just doing that passive aggressive thing again... We keep doing it to each other for some reason."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrfaVNewOe
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybDfd2wcvl
I heard Lumina sigh aloud, calming down the same way I did just now. "It must be our new thing... Sorry, I didn't mean that. I should have known you weren't being serious about the water rides."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoasVtgR47L
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXW8ONWIG0l
She doesn't know that I was being serious about them, but now that I know what set her off, I'll just pretend I was kidding... I've never seen such a strong negative reaction to the thought of being splashed. Either way, it's hard to joke around with her like this. I noticed months ago that Lumina and I have a strange way of talking to each other sometimes. It's usually playful, and she's usually much better at it than I am. But it should never be one-sided. "Let's just ride the rides, okay?" Even I was mildly annoyed. I don't like that she can just threaten to cut off the connection over something she doesn't like me doing. My only hope now is to lift our moods with some of these rids.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiz5FY7a8u
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFuaclGd8g
So even though it took half an hour, Lumina and I went on our first roller coaster together. My theory about physical inertia and gravimetrical changes registering as sensations through telepathy turned out to be true. Lumina started shaking when we reached the initial high point of the ride, screaming at me that it wasn't safe.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD5R2vvH8bJ
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ163QDil9tP
But as the ride descended downwards, the thrill of the experience kicked in once she realized neither one of us was in any real danger. Lumina managed to scream like some of the other people did, and laugh at the same time, all within a telepathic parameter. It's proof we've been using telepathy so much now, that our real life voices and reactions are projected through telepathic chains naturally, without alteration. I was too happy seeing her reaction to care about the specifics of how cool it was. Once the ride was over with, I could feel the sharp smile in her expression, and the excitement building inside her, enough to make me wonder if I awakened a sleeping thrill seeker.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgHNfn0XpeM
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1tKHm1JxG
"You good?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4d6eYKGfpA
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c86mIye2e
"Yeah! I wasn't expecting it to feel so real like that at all. That was awesome!"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgh4C4xXyS
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rmzUwDlCB
It's the first time in forever since I've seen Lumina come completely alive. All that energy she's expressing is perking me up too, not from the effects of telepathy, but from the thought of letting her have this experience. As a result, I was nearing my own peak excitement too, even though I'm not the type to express it being the introvert. Trust me, it's there!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcdYHPDfTO
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVS9OJEDzR
"Really gets your adrenaline going, doesn't it?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L1ndvMhps
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdT5rarGve
"I want to do that again!"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgwSZTm5nF
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcgOEEHS3R
I held back laughter, since in this moment, she reminds me of a kid having fun for the first time. "Whoa, easy there Lumina. There are plenty of other roller coasters like this one, only bigger, and scarier."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpFCytCf6m
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJY9ImyFXA
"Then let's ride them all!"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVIbAApjZ6
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDdcCvadiV
Of course, this is what I was hoping for all along. For reasons I still don't care to understand, I get so happy when I make other people I care about happy, myself included most of the time. But seeing this much excitement from Lumina sent me into a new mood of bliss I've only ever dreamed of.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuSMl9CHwj
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotjoOMWa4a
So, in honor of her request, I went on a mission to ride all of the unique rides one by one, including some of the water rides. I only got to talk her into it on the condition that she shut off her sensation sharing during the big splash, but she enjoyed it through my eyes and ears all the same, getting a scenery like no other. It was quite literally all fun and games. However, after two hours and the fourth ride, things started to get difficult. As it turned out, it really was close to summer, on a clear-sky day with the sun fully out and ready to roast. By that time, I was already in the central plaza area walking around aimlessly in cool down from the last excitement.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58jfx7KXHT
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu581EBYMug
"So you really want this funnel cake?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSvQs2cysU
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyi0ktY4qb
"What?" I know I heard Lumina speak just now, but somehow I totally missed what she said.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OJ6w98xgo
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99MSxGNnI6
"You heard me."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjV8zDJJIWi
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnw08vwMPO
"Yeah, that time I did..." I seems we can hear each other a little better using our voices, but something is wrong even with that in use. "How come you sound so far away? It's like somebody turned down the volume on a pair of headphones. Speak up a bit."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZdUAFywyB
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3B2ksG4aV
"It's almost the same for me, but I can hear slightly better speaking with the tongue... I was afraid this would happen. The connection is slowly failing."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvqgrSqGBA
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVEvV0GqSz
"What?!" Failing? It can't be! It's too soon for our connection to falter to summer heat. Still in denial, I waved my left arm all around me, trying to get a feel for the air while there was no wind to help me. But it wasn't exactly too warm according to what I could tell. "It's still fifty-five Nixus!" I don't care if anybody around sees me talking to myself, though I'm not exactly in range of most park goers right now.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtpOPabOSs
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jeb0uvPi9
"Reed, that's only five degrees below the official limit. With this temperature, the connection we have is going to quickly get weaker. It affected my vision minutes ago, but now it's affecting our hearing as well."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7jF48dUcI
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2wdN2YCtb
It affected her vision? Does she mean, Lumina can't see through my eyes right now? "Wait, so this dampens the intensity of our shared senses? I mean, all of them?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhXo1gEoQH
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rw52gUXJ1
"I thought you knew that by now."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYxXhPq6cI
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnwiOZuKRe
The only logical answer is that I forgot all about it, or tried to stop caring by ignoring the problem before me, though I'm sure it's happened before. Still, the senses that are first to go are physical sensations and emotion sharing. I didn't expect her vision and hearing to go out too.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzSYSrIeHt
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2GU8j3U6t
Lumina continued what she said earlier. "Right now, even though you can't tell, everything I'm seeing through your eyes is like seeing through grainy filter of random black noise. It's grainy and a bit blurry. On top of that, your voice sounds further away, and dampened, even now."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqFnoYjSmS
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xTUoJuyBQ
So talking out loud just isn't going to help. "I guess since I'm the weaker node in this situation, it's the reason why I can't see through your eyes no matter how hard I try." Even with average connections, it's nearly impossible for me to do onto Lumina what she does to me for the connection.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFtPxjdtdH
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lwBdCpJ4M
"I can't do anything about it right now. When it's this bad, telepathic amplification will only screw it up."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSn0wIT8jkh
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lafAuLSwQ
"Wait! But what about experiencing the roller coasters?!" It was fine before, but with the state the connection is in, won't she have trouble enjoying the sensation of the rides when there is no sensations being shared?90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNOKtBnRun
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVy9LhNjVX
"Those shared senses have already stopped, and they won't start up again with the connection as weak as it is. At around fifty Nixus, that's the first sensation to go."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohntSmgyLv
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT2nVinOpj
"Oh, this sucks Lumina! No matter what ride I go on now, you can't enjoy a single one of them. On top of that, you can't enjoy the scenery either with your vision messed up." It was the sole reason I came to this park, to give her an enjoyable experience she would never forget. We got two hours in, but I planned to be here all night!90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKPmVqytt4
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zAFkpOeIP
"I'm sorry about this Reed, but this weather is going to cut this connection short. My time riding the rides with you is already over."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM5OYs47tG
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR13QbRSehj
I didn't want to admit it, but she was certainly right. Despite my temperature check a minute ago, I could already feel that ball of gas far in space baking this place to a new crisp. Days in Georgia around this time of year always hang low for a bit and then spike really fast, especially when that air is as dry as it is now. It's not going to get any colder, only warmer.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4vhgvoho7
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdgy3rfYZR
"You've got about three more degrees of heat to go before we're both kicked off this connection by the force of nature."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyydppgYDK
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsL304apcti
"Three more? I thought the cap was at sixty. We should have four more."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwUelk9urK
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepqzOr2MmI
"It's all circumstantial. There is variance involved with post-initial connectivity stagnation, for a limited time. In this situation, even if the temperature doesn't rise anymore from where it is now, we'll both be tired and drained in less than an hour, which will also kick us off."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bZAS4vsqz
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIAQIpBfga
"Damn!" I kicked the ground with my shoe, accomplishing nothing but infuriating myself to frustration. "I wanted more time."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZGl363Det
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGbjLUbUT1
"I did too Reed... But I did get to experience a good part of it."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK99enU6ULh
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvN42UgNAZ
"..." I don't know if she's sincere, or just trying to cheer me up. I really was trying to make sure she had the most fun, but I just as well want to spend the whole day with her like I was earlier. Is this really okay?90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CNxdFHQkC
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbaCigmP2V
"Are you okay?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdAjtm4Mhr
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpe5zSvp7AP
"I don't know." I turned aside with my arms crossed, slightly panicked and worried that this would end too soon. How could I really be okay with this Lumina? I knew the weather would get warmer, but it's still too soon. Having this thrown in my face sliced off a sizeable chunk of the mental thrill I built up earlier. There isn't a ghost of a chance I can hide how depressed this is making me.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L7esTtBrD
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyF7mSsdfD
"It will be alright," she assured.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzhqKRdoK7
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFnHtsu7GFr
"How? How can it be alright when I have to spend the next six hours without the one person I want to be with today?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QFChqlxty
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxX1UtQpM0
"I don't know..." Lumina was dragged down into a falling despair with me, one that we both shared without the need of telepathy to do so.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeiZBaPgPkE
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1v4Ig0n5w5
But I calmed myself down, trying not to lose myself. This is all meaningless if I make Lumina depressed. She's supposed to remember today as a happy day we spent together, not something worse. "You know what? It's no big deal. I'll go buy that funnel cake, and then we can just hang out until it gets too hot."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡajG5wjXavj
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcrtXtaqRI
"You sure?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOv5OL4n8K6
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8X0eipHY1
"Yes. And afterwards, I'll plan to have some way to hang out with you again later, once it cools down again."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWChTnCmL1Q
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrkEWEue2S
"I guess that's all we can do then."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8MPBMEuuT
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAAQvHRpAdq
My legs dragged me towards the shop selling those cakes. It's one of the few sweet things I do still enjoy, even if Lumina no longer can... "Still, a few more minutes with you is better than zero. I know what I said before, but I feel like I need to say it again. You really are the best friend I could ever have. I'm not going to look forward to watching Georgia grow warmer." We really have done so much together, all the kinds of things two best friends would do for each other. Still, in all the scenarios I imaged with other people, it never felt like anything this special. Maybe it's somehow even more than that.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOdeae97ad
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRDw5MDdoD
"Huh? More than what?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QXJqtxbWc
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoUv5S5aXy
"Uh, never mind. Let's not sweat the semantics." I can't get all crazy. Of course it can't be something more than what we have now. Now is already good enough. "You'll have to use your imagination on this cake."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78OS5Yctc5
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUjpHe1Mza
"I'll just pretend it's some of that yummy asparagus you can't stand."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfWFrOcFG6
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMzQ2WWPAo
"A gross asparagus cake baked into the shape of a pretzel, just like grandma used to make."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIj70ct5Vr
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRKkrs9mjC
I did my best not to let the back of my mind keep a countdown on the time, but my body acted as its own sensor for the temperature growing ever so slightly warmer, minute by minute. Lumina and I just kept trying to fill the silence with whatever we could think of, as if it would be the last time we would see each other again for a prolonged period of time. After the twelfth minute, I used my hand to check again, after noticing that the buzzing sensation in my head was mysterious absent.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgc2SooHnTe
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlU6WRA6Jo
It's fifty-nine degrees... Lumina is gone now... My projected thoughts didn't echo anymore, and I didn't hear or feel any evidence that Lumina was sill connected to me... It was total silence, of a variety I was now most afraid of, and I could do nothing about it.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOihhpzDMT6
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0HmotG8E1
I dropped the last two bites of cake I had on the plate, giving up on my destroyed apatite. Given all that's happened, I went for my phone and texted my mother to meet me here. That took an excruciating ten minutes for the wait.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZhrUPhwyG
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeO4WC69Rwt
"So, what time do you want to leave?" My mother found me, assuming I wanted to join her for the rest of this trip.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekhjGc3f97
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAfCQEStjv
"I think now might be an okay time." I can't stay motivated anymore. The way I felt this morning was the polar opposite of what I was feeling now. There's no point of me being here anymore. None of these rides or places have any value with this silence around me. I knew I must look and sound really depressed, even in front of my own mother, but I just can't hide that anymore. It's how I really feel.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRJ7bFFjI0
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkFBn6xz4n
"Now?! You just got here!" She was not having it, but a second later, she managed to spot the defeated empty expression in my eyes. She strangely did not question me on why I was so down, but her answer was influenced by my new slump. "Fine. You got one more hour. Me and Peterson aren't that quick to want to leave."90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPbX8FvzCh
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqhRdued8A
Just do what you want then. I'll sit right here and rot for the next hour. There isn't any point in going around, pretending to have any fun. "One hour, and we'll meet back here... Naagh!" My hand reacted on its own, flying to my forehead even though holding it did nothing to stop the surge of pain blasting through it.90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtHAr8Loml
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBay1lL5D9j
"What is it?"90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX39QojWg9W
90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp78f3SDvbE
"Head— Headache!" Oh god it hurts! It hurts so much! I didn't even do anything to cause one! Was it from the roller coaster excitement earlier? It wasn't from Lumina. The patterns are too inconsistent to be caused by telepathy or its after effects. I growled and groaned, sinking my upper body down to the grated table in front of me. Unfortunately, my headaches don't always start at a level one. They can just happen at random, and start from as high as a level seven, though this one is still a level five for the moment. I managed to recover some functionality, but was equally amazed by how the day went from perfect to disaster in such a short time. Even if the temperature would have stayed cold, even if the weather would have snowed over, my day with Lumina was destined to be cut short anyway, by this blasted out-of-control illness! Great! First the day gets ruined, and now I have to put up with this too?
