«Sunshine... I took too long... »
Most of people in the port know Sunshine is from Up River. He arrived Bigg City in early autumn of 1919, even if he started working oficially by december.
Unfortunately, the leaving had been far from easy.
Despite what you might think, his former best friend there, Billy Shoepack, didn't fully support Sunshine's decision of leaving their home. He tried so hard to act like he did, but Sunshine knew him better than anyone, and knew what was going on under that smile.
Billy was afraid of losing the only one who never feared his real self.
Mad at himself for being so selfish about something that had been his friend's own choice.
And most of all, worried of this being the last impression Sunshine had from him before leaving, and probably, never seeing him again.
His mind told him this would be a goodbye forever. So, after thinking about it for a while, he realized the best way of expressing his concerns without forcing Sunshine to reject an oportunity like this was with a letter written by himself.
Sunshine told him where and when he would leave in case he wanted to spend some time together before.
There! he would tell him there!
And Sunshine? He thought his friend abandoned him because of his choice.
So by the time Billy arrived, Sunshine wasn't there
Just like he expected. This was a goodbye forever.
It was about time I started the plot wasn't it? 😅
I had the story planned since long ago, but never found the moment and the drawings weren't finished!
In any case, I really hope you like this, I put so much effort and heart on this idiots haha.
They deserve the love they couldn't give to eachother... * wink wink *
