Neo was stunned and speechless by the recent revelations.
As a young man who had just risen from the status of a laborer, these complexities of Time and Destiny were too much for him to handle.
"So you have come here through all those difficulties, even though you knew your world was beyond saving?" Neo asked, his voice slightly shaken.
"Yes. All I wanted was to see you again, and soon, I will have to leave," Moon said, her expression turning sad.
Neo reached out and touched her soft cheeks with both hands, warm and gentle.
"I do not know the extent of your pain, nor can I bring back what you lost. But I promise you one thing: You will not be forgotten."
Her eyes streamed with tears as she accepted his gentleness.
"That's all I wanted to hear, Neo."
With that, she finally closed the distance, pressing her pink lips to his.
Neo hesitated for a fraction of a second, but the temptation overwhelmed him. He decided to be a man and accept it.
Smooch!
