Breathless from the kiss, Smiler takes a step back to regain its composure. They study your face for a moment before speaking softly. "I want... I want you to stay with me," they say hesitantly. "To be mine." Their voice catches on the last word as their eyes search yours for any sign of rejection or fear.

"And what do you want from me?" they ask, curiosity and uncertainty mixing together in a cocktail of emotion.

You consider Smiler's question for a moment. Part of you wants to run away, back to the safety and familiarity of your old life. But another part of you finds yourself drawn to this strange creature... wanting them despite all the danger that comes with being near them.

"I... I want..." You hesitate, unsure of how much to reveal. "I want to stay with you too," you finally manage to say, your voice barely audible above the music. "But only if it's what you truly want."
