Is it possible to understand the feelings of another person through only the interpretation of art, or such fleeting eye contact? He thinks that, yes, it is.
Whether it be through art, or music, or their lingering connection from their childhood, heโs certain that +
With as much relief as he had warmth from Tenn's agreement with his take, he wasn't shaken enough to produce tears but maybe he would have if he caught his twin crying.
It is not clear whether or not Riku was intentional in his analysis compared to their own circumstances, but
"That star has no reason to worry over a cage. Not when that rainbow remains at its side.โ
A little smile of his own, and a gentle shake of his head, as if he canโt believe heโs allowing himself to go on. +
@ImperfectRuIer // full belief the only reason tenn is flexible is because i havenโt written him in a couple of years, so until i build him up a bit he is my puppet ๐
@HopefulxHero // ahahah i doubt we have! these days my name would only be attached to one single genshin muse outside of here, and it is nice to meet you! ๐ซถ i didnโt expect to come back and drop tenn and riku feels so quickly but they deserve good things ๐ฏ
