Lyra Rain/Contacts

Here:

• Arec: A charming man who has been quite honest from the start. I appreciate that more than he likely realizes.
• Cross: A blind preacher, friend of Arec's, who I look forwards to getting to know better. He reminds me of some of my family back home.
• Leila: Cross' girl, and another of Arec's friends that I will get to know.
• Soon: Another of Arec's friends, and this one with a pet ferret as well.

Gone:

• Garan - Forgotten.
• Trent - A fellow artist who I enjoyed spending time with, though he has not been around in a while. I hope that he is well. I miss him.
• Adelita - A friend who sought to help me move forwards. I owe her for a few late night talks.
• Jared - There's something cute about a man with a kitten that I can forgive his initial reaction to the scars. I sadly have the luck of picking men who end up with others, or leave.
