A little homage to the Avengers and Tanabata:

In a small, dim lit room a lone man was sitting in front of a computer. The sound of a heated firefight could be heared from the speakers inside, acompanied with the casual curse and crunching from whatever snacks the man was eating. Empty beer bottles and snack bags covered the floor for the most part. The two monitors in front of him along with a blacklight tube in the back were the only sources of light in the room. It was just enough light for anyone outside of the glass wall to catch a glimpse of the face of the man inside the room. It was the face of a man that has given up on everything, one who was alive forthe sake of living, a man that has lost the most valuable thing, hope.

Several figures emerged from the night and stopped short from the glass wall, exchanging worried glances with each other upon realizing the sorry state of the man inside.

The man noticed movement outside and thinking it was probably someone of his family members shouted the usual "Go away! I don't need anything, so fuck off!"

"Andrej, what happened to you?!" A voice from outside startled him. A voice he remember all too well, despite two years had past since he last heard it. A voice he thought he'd never hear again, one he asociates with his biggest pain, the loss of a person that meant the world to him. She was a girl unlike any other, not only for the affection he felt toward her but for her origins, she was a girl from beyond the stars.

Visibly agitated, he clutched his head in his hands, "No... No-NO! Why have you come back?!" He shook his head furiously from side to side as if to chase away the voice,

"Why have you returned after taking her away for me... WHY?!" he screamed,

"What else do you want from me? You took everything from me that day, was it not enough?!"

He recalled that day, back when he was a kid, the day he first met her. A girl not older than him wearing a crimson cheongsam. What was odd about her were her features, definitely not human. Mouse ears adorned the top of her head, real, twitching mouse ears, she even had a mouse tail protruding from her back. At first they both were frightened of eachother but soon curiosity overcome fear. After the initial shock the two bonded and got along as they knew each other for an eternity already.

There was a catch, though. The two could meet only twice a year. Even so, for over 10 years they'd never miss the one day every six months they can be together. But that changed two years ago as the bond between their worlds was severed for the greater good, for people they never met to that sorrowful day.
