Ein tried to interject to say he had stuff to take care of today, but Adriel's sea of words washed away his attempt.
"We can walk along the snowy beach, maybe hold hands—now that it's possible! And the sky is clear today, so we can watch the sunset too!"
Adriel hopped off the couch, pacing around as he dove fully into eager planning mode. "Then, when it gets dark, we could get sparklers, and when we're done, we can eat dinner at a small seaside restaurant!" He stopped, turning to Ein, eyes sparkling. "How does it sound?"
Ein opened his mouth to object, but the sight of Adriel's animated expression froze the words on his tongue. It was hard to say no to him when he was like this—so vibrant and full of life.
However, ironically, the fact that he was full of life tipped the balance in favor of Ein's rationality. Adriel was alive. They weren't pressed for time.
"Not today. I have to move my furniture to a different storage complex."
