...You're seriously asking that?! You're not joking, right?
Krazo 👑
I do not joke. I am the King of—
Lina 🌸
Yeah yeah, "God King of Everything." We get it. Sit. Toast's ready.

Krazo 👑
*thinking*
(How strange. She laughs at me... but not at my weakness. She looks at me... but not with fear.
This world lacks reverence... yet her gaze carries something heavier.)
Lina 🌸
*softly*
Hey. You good? You zoned out.
Krazo 👑
*quietly*
I am... unaccustomed to being looked at as I am.
Lina 🌸
*smirking*
Get used to it. No thrones here, Your Majesty. Just eggs and bills.

Krazo 👑
*staring at city the lights*
I was... infinite. I bent stars, shattered Realms. Yet here, I lose breath climbing stairs.
Lina 🌸
*joining him*

Lina 🌸
*after a pause*

Krazo 👑
*smiling faintly*
Very well... I shall not vanish. Not yet.
