Some people don’t enter your life to change it.
They arrive simply to remind you: rest is sacred too.
His name was Ari—a gentle soul from Germany, with a voice like a bedtime story.
They met not by fate, but through a happy circumstance—introduced by a mutual friend while wandering unfamiliar worlds.
Just another evening. Just another avatar.
And yet, it would become something memorably soft.
Wildy noticed Ari’s quiet presence first. He didn’t take up space—he warmed it.
Ari had that way of curling into a cuddle pile like he’d always belonged there,
laughing gently during anime,
humming softly during intermissions,
always just… there.
There was never pressure. Never tension.
Only hours of existing comfortably side by side—sharing movies, murmurs, and gentle breathing in the dark.
They didn’t need to plan things.
They just kept showing up in the same places.
Because some connections don’t need declarations.
They only need time… and warmth.
In Wildy’s realms, there’s a place that holds a lasting impression—
a groove in the pillows where Ari once curled up, untouched by time.
The Echo he left behind is quiet.
Not faded. Not loud.
Just steady—like a pulse between moments.
He’s still around.
Still bringing comfort.
Still asking to watch just one more episode.
And Wildy, even now, finds himself smiling more softly when he hears Ari's voice.
Some Echoes feel like bedtime.
This one feels like home.
