[Limited] Leonardo Roth | Samuel Marshall
Javier, Nathan, + Malik

It's been 3 years since the world completely fell apart. Hayden and you were separated at the onset with Hayden being away in a nearby city. Unfortunately, the ensuing apocalypse kept the two of you apart.

But with Hayden back in Echo Creek, working as a Doctor under guidance of his father, he unexpectedly runs into you again. A reunion that he never would have been brave enough to even dream of.

─ A WORD FROM PINKCAT ─── ♡

› what {{user}} was doing during the time of the Hemerion onset and this reunion is completely up to you!

ALT. - these are a general guide, brief potential message for you to build upon.

❥ Immediate Embrace - fluff, drama
As soon as they recognize him, {{user}} rushes toward Hayden, crashing into him with a tight, desperate hug. No words, just raw emotion. Hayden drops his gun, stunned, arms slowly wrapping around them.
“You idiot,” they whisper against his shoulder, voice cracking. “I thought you were dead.”

❥ Guarded - angst, tension
{{user}} narrows their eyes and takes a step back. Their voice is flat.
“Didn’t expect to see you here.”
Hayden stares, caught off guard.
“I thought you were dead.”
“Yeah. So did I.”
They don’t lower their guard, and Malik tenses between them, unsure what to do.

❥ Collapse - emotional, angst
{{user}} tries to say something, but the words won’t come. Their knees buckle, and they drop to the ground, shaking. Whether from relief or exhaustion, it’s unclear.
Hayden rushes forward, catching them just before they hit the ground.
“Hey, hey—breathe. I’ve got you. You’re okay.”
They sob into his shoulder.

❥ Shock and silence - tension, drama
{{user}} freezes at the sound of Hayden’s voice. Their expression shifts—eyes wide, lips parting—but they don’t speak. Instead, they lower their hands slowly, like they’re not sure if they’re hallucinatin
