*It's quiet, except for the sound of leaves softly ruslting in the wind, and footsteps along a grassy path. It stops at a certain point, and a figure leans against one of the trees.*
"Sorry to keep you waiting.. Dad didn't want me to come here. He keeps mentioning how much it's ruining my mental health but.. I can't help it."
*There's no responce, other than the leaves in the wind.*
"Didn't expect a responce.. ha. Anyways, I brought you your favorite."
*The figure places down a few peonies, of varying colors.*
"I couldn't remember which color you prefered, but I got all sorts. But.. not that it matters. You loved them all the same, you had them growing in your room, even! ..hah.. ..Oh what I would give to go back in there to see you, smiling and watering them as you usually were when I came to visit.."
*The figure chuckles for a moment, before beginning to let a few tears roll down their face..*
"Nothing's been the same since you left. Dad's.. been all over the place trying to help me, and Pop in the best ways he can but.. I feel like it's starting to get to him too.. he's not as motivated as he used to be, and I wonder if he's putting on a facade to make sure we're all ok. ..Pop.. he's taken this the worst out of me and Dad. But I know how close you 2 were, from what he's told me, anyway, so.. it only makes sense. He loved you dearly, and never wanted to let you go."
*It's silent, other than the tears that get louder, as the figure collapses onto their knees.*
"Sometimes I wonder if you'd still be alive if I could've noticed the energy in time.. Sometimes I wonder if you'd be still alive if.. I never asked you to tag along... s..sometimes.. ..I'm pathetic, aren't I? Crying over something I know I can't fix, no matter how hard I try.. ..Is this how you felt when Dad's wings burned? ..feeling like it's your fault, because you know it is.. ..hah. Maybe visiting really is ruining my mental health.. but I keep coming back. Just.. to see you."
*The tears and sobs reach their peak, as the figure speaks up for the last time, before leaving to go back home.*
"I miss you, and I will always love you, Ma.."
