They felt a strange happiness.

An urgent need to reveal their hearts to each other.

The urgency of lovers.

Which is already a gift.

The very first one.

The gift of the soul before the body surrenders.

"Know me, look at me.

This is who I am.

This is how I've lived, this is how I have loved.

And you? What about you, my darling?"
