The sky was was a deep blue-ish purple and there were stars twinkling.

The wind felt soft, not too sharp and not to cold.

It felt like...

Serenity.

So I sat with the baby slugs...

And went deep into my thoughts.

I felt safe.

Suddenly, someone was behind me.

"You like the night too, hm?" They said in a soft whisper.

It was Verrian.

"Yes, it's soothing" I replied softly.

Verrian sat down beside me.

And we talked.

For a long time.

We talked about our non-binary experience, we talked about our names and nicknames, and we talked about our friends.

I never realized how much I needed to talk.

Before I went up to heaven, they told me their real name was Vellian, they just liked Verrian better. 

They also told me I could call them Vell.
