Day 3

the message has already been spoken

I blame the hoperai discord for encouraging this. (lol. kidding, love you guys. <3)

If I had a nickel for every time my favorite nerd spent 100+ years to find and bring back their 'inspiration', I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

One year ago today, I finished playing the FF13 trilogy. Sister Lightning became my favorite game character, and Sister Lightning and Hope also became a pairing that I was deeply infatuated with. Although I was very moved by the ending of Returns, I found it hard to accept that the story ended here, as if Sister Lightning had left me forever. When I searched the Internet for related topics and common enthusiasts, there were almost none, because this was an old game from 2009-2013. This made me feel uncomfortable that I had a lot to say but couldn't. During the painful withdrawal reaction that lasted for two months, I drew this pairing, and on the day that overlapped with the end of the story, I used last year's line drawing to color it.
