An Extra’s POV

Once Rey took a step forward, a voice emerged from beyond the door that stood before him.

It had been a little over two weeks since he heard that voice.

The moment if came forth, Rey felt something shift in his heart. The melodious tune danced in his ears, and he felt his body grow lighter.

At that instant, the tension in his body vanished.

Rey felt relief.

"Is that you, Rey? Please come in."

Those words propelled him to take more steps forward as he twisted the doorknob and finally gained access to the sanctuary beyond.

'Ahhh…'

The first thing that occupied him was the lovely aroma that was swept out the instant he opened the door. It overwhelmed his senses, causing him to close his eyes as the entire ambiance embraced him.

It felt like nature had come to visit him, granting him the gift of countless flowers with the best flavors to please his nose.

It was ecstatic, just standing at the entrance.

"What are you standing there for? Come in."

Rey snapped out of his reverie, and perhaps it was muscle memory, but his legs began to move on their own despite his mind still not recovered from the pleasant breeze and amazing scent he recieved.

He closed the door behind him, and once again, the wonders of Esme's room made him gleam with delight.

It was cool and spectacular, just like the Elf who sat on her bed… waiting for him to come to her.

Her long white hair felt like clear clouds, spilling over her shoulders to the point where they hearly reached her knees. She currently donned an oversized shirt, with shorts and was barefoot—the usual casual wear that Esme preferred.

Everything about the experience felt like the very first time he entered her room. He didn't know why, but that was the vibe he felt.
