Luke "Radiant Sunlight"/Rewards

Text: Memory Music Box

You: Are you busy? You didn't pick up when I called earlier.

Luke: Sorry! I'm making a music box and wasn't looking at my phone.

By yourself? That's amazing!

You: You're making a music box? That's amazing!

Luke: I just felt that it'd be a waste if the "graduation" photos we took were kept away in an album.

Luke: I wanted to make something I can keep around and frame the photo. That way, I can see it every day.

Why do you want to make a music box?

You: Why are you making a music box of [sic] all of a sudden? Learning something new again?

Luke: Yea, I'm making a music box with a picture frame on it.

Luke: So that I can frame the pictures we took in it.

Luke: But, I've only just started on the stand and haven't gotten to the picture frame yet.

Luke: I need your input on this. What material do you think would be good for the frame?

Wood

You: How about dark colored wood? It seems to match the style of your antique store.

Luke: Haha, that sounds good!

Metal

You: Stainless steel or other metals. It feels more durable.

Luke: Yea, metal doesn't break easily.

Luke: Hey, is there a picture that you are especially fond of?

Luke: You can pick six in total.

The one with the sparklers

You: The one with the sparklers on the beach is a must!

You: I don't know which other ones to pick...

Luke: Alright, let's just use that photo for now then.

Luke: We'll pick the rest of the photos after I'm done the [sic] music box!

They're all pretty nice

You: I like them all, it's really hard to choose...

You: It's better if you choose.

Luke: Wait! Don't just leave it all to me!

Luke: How about this? We can pick out the photos together once I'm done with the music box!

It's a promise!

You: Ok, we have a deal then!

Luke: It's a deal.

We'll see

You: We'll come back to it. You never know when work might pop up.

Luke: That's ok. I'll get the photos ready first. You can pick from them whenever you want.

Luke: I'm looking forward to the day we pick out these photos together.

Luke: I think... I'm the happiest when I'm with you.

Text: Childhood Memories

Luke: I was looking at photos us [sic] of when we were young.

Luke: You wrapped the sheets around yourself and pretended it was a skirt!

I miss it

You: Haha, the good old times.

You: That was when we were playing house, right?

Luke: Yea, you even wanted me to wear it!

Luke: I wouldn't do it even if my life depended on it...

It's in the past

You: Don't say another word!

You: That's all dark history...

Luke: I thought it was pretty cute!

Luke: Besides, everyone was a little out there when they were young.

Luke: I remember we were even pretending to be anime characters.

Luke: There's a retro anime expo going on. Wanna go?

Let's go together

You: Really?!

You: Perfect. Let's go.

Luke: Let me get the tickets then.

Luke: We'll go on the weekends when you're done with work.

Work has been crazy lately

You: I do... but I have a lot of work...

You: I've got another difficult case on my hands.

Luke: There's no rush. The expo will be here for two months.

Luke: We can go whenever you're free.

Luke: I heard that they have character costumes there that you can wear and take pictures in.

Luke: You won't have to use bed sheets this time!

We have to do this together

You: No, no, we have to do this together.

Luke: I knew you'd say that. Guess I don't have a choice.

Pass

You: Ehh... I'll pass. That's a little embarrassing.

Luke: If you don't like it, then we can just go around taking photos.

Luke: We can pose just like we did in those old photos.

Luke: I remember how every single photo looks like.

Luke: You know, all these years apart, and I still find myself looking at our photos from before.

I look at them often

You: I do too.

You: Your smile encourages me when I'm having a rough time.

Luke: Too bad I'm not by your side.

Luke: But, I will be from now on, I won't let you face hardship alone again.

I want to, but I don't dare to

You: I want to... But, I don't dare to...

You: Looking at those photos makes me feel even more lonely...

Luke: I'm sorry...

Luke: I won't suddenly disappear again.

Luke: And I won't ever let you feel lonely again.
