"So..." Frank said as he and Kate walked together through the starlit Windian night. The Persona User slipped an arm around his girlfriend before looking into her blue eyes. "What was that about? You know anything about what Tellka wanted to say to Nate?"

Kate just batted her ears lightly as she looked at her boyfriend's face. "I dunno... um... I think... the park last week?"

"Wait..." Frank said as he stopped in his tracks and looked at Kate. "What'd he do in the park?"

Kate just shuffled her feet before looking back up at her boyfriend. "Um... well... He... you know how he's been lately?" The young woren's tail began to flick about nervously. "Um... I asked him what was wrong, and he kinda... snapped at me."

Frank just raised an eyebrow. "He did, did he... I think I may have to talk to him as well..."

The couple continued down the path until they reached their usual spot. Frank took a seat on one end of the bench while Kate stretched out and rested her head against her boyfriend's chest. If one was to look from behind the bench they could have seen the tip of her tail as well as one foot hanging off of one end.

The Persona User looked down at his girlfriend and heard an audible purring coming from her throat. Frank lightly stroked her dirty blonde hair as the two of them continued to gaze skyward.

"Man... it's a great night..." Frank said quietly.

"It is..." Kate replied before looking skyward again.

"Just once..." Frank said as he looked down at the purring woren. "Just once... I'd like to take you to Lunarvale... Meadowbrooke Park... We could sit under the Augustus Tree..."

Kate purred as she listened to her boyfriend. "That would be great, Frank... Myah... we'd have to do that sometime..."

The Persona User and the young woren continued to gaze at the stars, just enjoying each other's company. It was Kate who finally broke the silence, since she had something on her mind.

"Er... Frank?" Kate asked as she looked up at her boyfriend. "I was wondering... I know, this may sound weird... but..."

"Hmm?" Frank said as he ran a hand through his girlfriend's brown hair.

"Why... why do we live? As in general, Frank..."

The Persona User just blinked at his girlfriend. "Kate... what do you mean by that?"

The young woren just batted her ears lightly. "Well, I've just been wondering... why do people live day to day, doing this and that?"

Frank thought for a moment before answering his girlfriend's question. "To find the answer..." Was all the Persona User said in a soft voice.

"Hmm?" Kate replied as she looked at Frank through her clear blue eyes. "What do you mean by that?"

"It's simple, really..." Frank explained as he stared at the fountain in the center of the park. "We, as people, live to find our answers, Kate... We do that through experience. Day by day, people like you and me experience new things... and all those experiences make up life, Kate. And when we live, we find the answers to a lot of things..."

"Really?" Kate said innocently. "What about right now? This experience that we're sharing?"

"This..." Frank said as he smiled down at Kate. "This experience... is something that I hold dear to me..." The Persona User leaned down and kissed Kate. "I've finally found an answer to something that I had been searching for..."

"What answer is that?" Kate said with a sigh as she leaned closer to her boyfriend.

"I've learned... that true love does exist... and I've found it..." Frank said with a smile. Kate looked up at him and purred.

Once more, Frank and Kate continued to gaze at the stars. After awhile, Frank removed his jacket and covered his girlfriend with it. As he looked at Kate, his eyes wandered from her face to the angel that was on the leather bomber.

After all, I've found my angel... One of the best things that's happened in my life... Kate... I won't let anything happen to you...

The couple continued to gaze at the stars, just enjoying the company of one another.
