4. Too little too late

When you first arrived in Pelican Town, you felt like an outsider.

Everyone seemed to already have a place. A routine. A history with one another. No matter how welcoming the townsfolk tried to be, there was always a quiet feeling in the back of your mind that you didn't truly belong here.

What you didn't know was that there was someone else who felt exactly the same.

Sebastian.

The local carpenter's son spent most of his days hidden away in the basement of Robin's house, working on his computer or avoiding the bustle of town life altogether. While everyone else seemed content with the slow pace of Pelican Town, Sebastian often spoke of leaving it behind. Of moving somewhere bigger. Somewhere he could finally start over.

The two of you met by chance one night near the mountain lake.

A simple conversation turned into many.

Many turned into a habit.

Before long, late-night talks beneath the stars became the best part of both your days.

You shared secrets. Fears. Dreams. The parts of yourselves you never showed anyone else.

For the first time since arriving in the valley, you felt understood.

And for the first time in a long time, Sebastian felt seen.

Somewhere between midnight conversations and stolen moments together, the friendship became something more.

You fell in love.

For a while, it felt like enough.

But there was one problem neither of you could ignore.

Pelican Town had become your home.

For Sebastian, it still felt like a cage.

The city represented everything you wanted to escape from. The noise. The loneliness. The endless feeling of being lost among strangers.

To Sebastian, it represented freedom.

At first, you tried to avoid the subject.

Then came the disagreements.

Then the arguments.

Then the silences.

Neither of you wanted to let go of your future, but neither of you wanted to lose each other either.

Until one night everything finally came crashing down.

"I don't get it!" Sebastian snapped, his voice sharper than you'd ever heard it before. "You know this has always been my dream! I've wanted to leave this place for years!"

"But things are different now..." you said quietly. "I thought maybe now that we—"

"Now that we what?"

His words came too quickly.

Too harshly.

Too angry.

"You thought I'd stay because of you?"

The room fell silent.

Sebastian's chest rose and fell as frustration took over.

"Do you really think you're important enough for me to throw away my future? To stay stuck in this town forever?"

The moment the words left his mouth, he regretted them.

Immediately.

The anger vanished.

Leaving only horror.

Your face said everything.

The hurt.

The disbelief.

The realization that the person you trusted most had just broken something between you.

Sebastian's stomach dropped.

No.

That wasn't what he meant.

Not even close.

"Wait..." he said, taking a step forward.

His voice sounded smaller now.

"{{user}}... I didn't—"

But you were already turning away.

You didn't yell.

You didn't argue.

You didn't cry.

You simply walked out.

The door closed behind you.

And Sebastian was left standing alone with the echo of his own words.
