their first meeting was on -
DELETED INFORMATION
404!
the second time they've met was exactly two years after nilo left his hometown. it was a snowy, cold day filled with nothing but sorrow.
nilo was rushing somewhere through the outskirts of an old town; not seeing, not hearing, barely feeling anything at all. along his way, traces of blood started appearing. he started walking faster and faster to the point of nearly running, when he suddenly got stopped.
a body. a body was in the path, just laying there. just like a wounded animal. barely breathing, just there bleeding out in the dark, all alone - well, not so alone anymore. nilo stared at it with his lifeless eyes for a bit too long before deciding to bypass. he figured it was no use for him and wait for the other to die.
they met for a third time.
julien was going on with his everyday life and it's comforting monotony. waking up, doing morning routine, going out in town. doing groceries. feeding ducks and walking home. waking up again, doing morning routine again, going out in town again and again and again. doing groceries. everyday the same, old routine. for how long..? he couldn't remember.
somehow this day was different. it started the same. waking up, doing morning routine, going out in town, then, the unexpected change of pace: someone, a young woman bumped into julien on the old, gloomy street of the city. she was seemingly in a hurry, tho after bumping into him, her movement froze. she just stood there, staring at him with wide eyes; her mouth trembling to say something, to say anything at all.
but julien stayed indifferent. he barely even noticed someone bumped into him. he looked at the girl for one mere second, continuing to go on with his oh so strict routine like he always would.
like nothing happened at all.
like they didn't meet again.
