⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀mr. parker. may you raise your mask?

#̲ placing a quick peck to the lips.

#̲ hiding a little smile, now pulling his mask back down and turning away. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀there.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀🇵🇸𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝑨𝑴𝑨𝒁𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐑—𝐌𝐀𝐍, may i ask you something?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀i’d like to peer into your memories and thoughts, as you’ve mentioned the other day.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀sometimes.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀what government. municipal? state?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀we could go for world government, in that case ...

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀does this world have a shogun or an emperor?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀hello, mr. parker.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀i am from a different ... timeline, i believe they said?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀possibly? have you met a version of me?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀a red dress ... the thought of variants is a terrifying one indeed. do you not fear being the most inadequate of your equals?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀dearest ... so have i. a day without you is a day too long.
