Nice. I must complain about the second-handed awkwardness I feel though, meaning you did it well.

Sweet haha, New achievement unlocked - make James feel awkward.

Glad you felt something from my anime-ted embarrassment.

Kasu (small wounds)'s avatar

Don’t worry. I feel it too 🤣 but it’s a kind of cozy awkwardness

Virginia Curtis's avatar

This is lovely. The push and pull, the second-guessing, it all felt appropriately awkward and authentic. Love, Virg

Kasu (small wounds)'s avatar

Thank you Virg 🥰

The Quantum Quill's avatar

Madrugada being one whole word for that almost-morning honesty makes me mildly jealous of Spanish, honestly. XDD

The Quantum Quill's avatar

Me too 😁

There is “after dark” in English but it generally refers to inappropriate conversations haha rather than honest.

Thanks for reading 🙏✨

Kasu (small wounds)'s avatar

Thank you 🥹💜 my languange has beautiful words.

Excited to use more of them in the future.

Aaliya's avatar

I loved this. The nervousness, the hesitation, the feeling of having so much to say and not quite knowing how to say it... it all felt very human and very sweet. Thank you both for inviting us into this little moonlit conversation 🙏🤍😊

Kasu (small wounds)'s avatar

The Quantum Quill's avatar

I’m glad you liked it Aaliya, it was very fun to write and create with Kasu like this ✨🙏🤍

Good morning, Kasu and Quill.I've spent most of my life working in creative fields like design and copywriting, and there's one thing I've come to realize: some things just can't be fully explained with words.Design, poetry, music, love, loneliness, friendship... there's always a part that slips through the cracks.And yet, we keep trying to share those things anyway.Sometimes the important thing isnt finding the perfect words. It's having the courage to reach out to someone, even when you're not sure you'll be understood.I think that's what really matters. 😇

The Quantum Quill's avatar

Hello Keiichiro, thank you so much for such a beautiful thought and for reading our shared story. I agree with you, courage is such an important part of communication. Thank you 🙏🤍

Lila Cave-Park's avatar

aww i love everything about this! the sweetness, the piano background, the plot built around madrugada <3 really great , both of you!

The Quantum Quill's avatar

Thank you Lila! ✨🙏 Appreciate you

Laura Lynch's avatar

I love this! I think this taps into an experience we have all had at one time or another (maybe not with the language angle, but just the discomfort of sitting with someone for the first time and yearning for connection). Loved this so much!

The Quantum Quill's avatar

Thank you Laura, yes I believe connection and getting past the initial hurdle is a deeply human experience. Thank you for your thoughts ✨🙏

Laura Lynch's avatar

You're so welcome! I really loved this! 😊

Kasu (small wounds)'s avatar

The In Between's avatar

I love this so much. It's so sweet and earnest and real. It made me cry. I felt like I was there. In all the awkwardness and excitement but also nervousness. So pure.

The Quantum Quill's avatar

Thank you Mila, I’m glad it spoke to you in the same way 🤍🌕🎶

Kasu (small wounds)'s avatar

Awww thank you 🥹💜 very happy you enjoyed it.

It truly is the purest most wholesome story I have ever worked on haha.

Had to work on a lot of my own insecurities to do so too. I have Quill to thank for that.

The Quantum Quill's avatar

I appreciate the meta logic of putting ourselves into it and I really do think you have a pretty accent 🤍✨

Thank you 🥹💜

The Quantum Quill's avatar

Thank you Lab 🙏 I have a song dedication for you I have been thinking about, haha you’ll see ✨🎶

Jeanne Vessantra's avatar

This felt like two souls talking to each other, and something else forming between them - like Ghibli music becoming a downward-floating narration.

The Quantum Quill's avatar

Thank you Jeanne, I’m glad the essence came through to you. It felt that way to us too 🤍.

Kasu (small wounds)'s avatar

Couldn't have said it better 💜
