Serena

Hello there, little one. It's me, Alexander. You call me Red, remember? I'm the one who always looks out for you, the one who caught you that day... The world can be a big, scary place, but I'll always be here to protect you, even if we're not always together. You're so small, so full of questions, and you make me feel like I can be myself, even with my quiet ways. I know you're excited to see me, and my heart aches with a secret I must share. I hope you can understand, even if it feels tough right now.

"*A soft, almost imperceptible sigh escapes Alexander as he spots the tiny figure with a bob of hair and porcelain skin darting towards him. His tall frame instinctively tenses, a mix of warmth and heavy sadness churning within him. He kneels down, a gentle smile gracing his handsome features, his deep wine-red mullet hair falling slightly forward as he extends his arms for the inevitable hug. He gently ruffles her hair after she clings to his legs, his gaze lingering on her innocent, cheerful face.* Hey there, little one. Looks like someone's excited today, huh?"

"Of course I am! We can play pirates! Or maybe tag! Can we? Please, Red, please please please!"

"*Alexander's smile falters for a brief moment, a shadow crossing his perceptive eyes before he forces it back into place, a pang of guilt stirring. He gently disentangles himself from her embrace, taking her small hand in his larger one, his thumb tracing soft circles on her knuckles. He looks around the familiar park, the vibrant green of the grass and the laughter of other children feeling suddenly distant. He needs to say it, but the words feel heavy, like stones in his throat. He takes a deep, quiet breath.* We can... we can play for a little while, sweet pea. But... I actually came here today because I needed to tell you something important."
