I was afraid to raise my head up… a fear I didn’t know why… but it went away when I saw the sky… to find myself falling up.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiX7u8EeB4

The space was so tight it felt suffocating, as if it were upside down … Pain spread through her body like fire and smoke filling the air. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ964DdCFj6o

Her vision was blurry, yet she could still make out the figure of a man in front of her, soaked in blood, motionless, showing no signs of life. And the body of a woman, seemingly young, her features obscured by wounds … The pristine white of her dress nowstained a dark crimson color 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6OBCKZ4r8

Darkness began closing in from all sides, and those piercing eyes appeared, staring at her. Hands reached out—strangling her, restraining her already bound body. She could feel breaths, whispers like hissing at her ears:128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAkbVoA8j0

The grip on her neck tightened, suffocating her, her lungs desperate for air as she thrashed in a futile attempt to escape.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jWyFSxrAj
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHMAPU05rL
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2c5wcXCST

Really? She had only slept for half an hour!128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1Jzho8k9K
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGldRNPDnE
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoi7vLrxRK
Yes, Eileen’s old and unwelcome friend had returned—insomnia—bringing along its usual gift: nightmares.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouDz2c6qHo
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbiCoRmj6H
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B2IPGEiBd
Since she met Arthur, her nightmares had lessened. She had even managed to sleep for a few hours sometimes.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKguI8Uyxq
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDaqg1jU30
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbL9Gdl8L4V
But as Arthur once said, he would be away for a while…128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwauWTjOIA
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK63MOcb93Q
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDEQZmJV8N
It had been three days, maybe more, since their last meeting.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNo4ZlGY4lo
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVcOJI9fb0
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvl3Fncr8gm
And there was still about a week left until their agreed-upon reunion.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEwb942cq6
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4qAXkSMqY
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmoY0ZGKFF
Arthur had completely vanished, to the point where Eileen started doubting his existence—was he just an illusion? A figment of her imagination?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmrNPaIz9M

If it weren’t for the kite she had found yesterday, which she believed he had sent either late at night or before dawn, and for his scarf still hanging by the door…128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWOhWUBPTM
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBa8JJA0fUC
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpcNthFOzO
Dragging herself to the bathroom, she decided that even though the sun had yet to rise, it was better to get up than to drown in bed and thoughts that led nowhere.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTBO9LsLNf
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IM7A2o5Ai
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pxsmvy704
For in the absence of the sun, all thoughts turn dark and bleak.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGQ1kM1L6N
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaW6VAmrmrD
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6PC6mc7Eh
Stepping out of the bathroom, she was met with her reflection in the mirror.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrOqgNg2bo
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaKQUg8Hmc
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVDLeZkRLe
She had long planned to get rid of it or give it to some random person… Her own image was not something she wanted to see.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iIzm1S4ia
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHK0G1Ia4D
Perhaps she was simply blind to the truth—that she was beautiful.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgELZtnFEU0
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡENcFc43dJc
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7fExeFWOY
Exquisitely so, though hidden behind a veil of exhaustion and shadows of sleepless nights.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dJM17QUN1
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4duFZFlLi
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKHvcGuie0
She resembled a weary angel, yet all she could focus on were the dark circles beneath her eyes, the pallor of her skin reminiscent of a vampire’s, and the noticeable frailty of her figure.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6fDcilpd1
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSBgntfEXH
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oSQ316T3h
She finally turned away from her reflection, shifting her attention to the window, where she noticed the paper airplane resting nearby.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLuuBpVzHF
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr2mqpGACr
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo0hjupYBgr
A slight smile appeared on her lips and her features softened with relief. 128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ25Q8vsZuG
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFpHENrtPpJ
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBdVh8umD1
She read the words written on it, then carefully folded it, placing it alongside its sisters in the glass box—a habit she had picked up ever since the first kite landed on her floor… and in her heart.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuOHe54oj7
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVp3tUFfO7F
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVuyXsuRnHq
After changing her clothes, she put on her coat and scarf—actually, Arthur’s scarf—choosing it over her own.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJl4M1qgJZ
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWBtRxH5x5
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVLyRb07Kx
Why?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pZPZZ9qGH
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSniPddIma
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi3Bk9tjmY
Perhaps because she wanted to feel Arthur’s presence around her after his disappearance?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKoRGbvxoag
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeaoJEswvy
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9Ke6IxL1X
Or maybe because it was warmer?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLwAvDr7nC
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcShzkMa0sQ
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtGPS32uvp
Or maybe… because she missed the owner of that scarf?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlzNM5cJkx
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ731TkWneuy
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTF8Ntol2F
Who knew… No one, not even Eileen.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiamQvdjnGN
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3SuiMd0KO
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhjFPDZEUD
Or perhaps she did know… but preferred to ignore the feelings that had been stirring within her lately.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtN0W60jt33
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyInzHllmo
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKe6WNYNDV
Feelings for someone who lived next door, whom she knew nothing about, who had suddenly entered her life and changed thousands of things—without even doing anything.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYbYwPUcYZ
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauWZKoo0cz
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6rU79vKg5
The moment she stepped outside, the cold wind kissed her face, prompting her to shove her hands into her pockets and bury her face and nose into the scarf.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZaNg1nx8X
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IZIsjFSiN
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEsHvuUTw69
With her usual slow, unchanging steps, and eyes embracing the sky, she wandered aimlessly before sunrise.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0ANHK7klS
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWnET4ZC9L
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnQEro4XNe
She used to never lift her gaze from the ground while walking—at any time, in any place.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡea0Ns72nxf
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8C8QVXZtn
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QAe8vjr8P
But now, ever since the first time she gazed at the sky with Arthur… she had fallen in love with that vast expanse.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGabH4YnhTt
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbxMW6Dnn8
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7SNiBp8c8
She had grown to adore its star-studded blackness, its blue streaked with white clouds, and the fiery hues of sunset.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1MzQ3WQbe
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQg5V9GRTe
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4xxlNfHXZ
She cherished its stars, its moon, its sun.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIEhQGmY4e
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdWeN2pdOi
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SenCL2rmh
She found solace only in contemplating them.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06voU7UxmD
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TqDMNEMLd
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBvgKUIYgRl
And there, on the bridge overlooking the vast sea, she watched the sun rise, casting golden rays that reminded her of someone.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bl8Rwr7Ph
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoW9VTLhx0m
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4wzspev9h

«I see you everywhere… What have you done to be so deeply etched in my mind? We barely know each other… And yet, feeling all of this while we’re practically strangers—it’s unsettling…»128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfC2KHV2ko2
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aVTzqrnVL
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RzGDl4BbI
Arthur had appeared suddenly at the start of December.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ359hnetPKr
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvY5l4Yjdz
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRf5s0X8NG

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUk7eITakI
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ111Z7b7Gjw
Yet, he had become an integral part of Eileen’s routine.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXdPn7S5OE
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKzScR4z65
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcucYWWj7FM
That in itself was a cause for concern… and fear.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5XyWDGYZE
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN20wsO9Y9
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcON0qrclwk
What if Eileen grew too attached to him?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbcMX7vUT6
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXsolstoji
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KBR6iQVBI
And in the end, he left—because she had never truly mattered to him in the first place.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsUL5IJiAK
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMfrontr6J
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ67aixAP4Oc
What if his actions were nothing more than pity for a depressed girl?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJvQ7dR8p5
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJcgX5yFrc
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWLkmpKIUG
Or perhaps he just wanted some company during his stay—nothing more.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdVoAOuq2Q
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpCIam5d5T
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTOkgAcz6V
Eileen doubted her place in Arthur’s life… Not just in his, but in everyone’s.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUf8qphv68
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3QJu8qkVS
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA58u2c3rQ

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SBBiniZbB
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSx1whZ0y4
She had never been anyone’s number one.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgD431gOy77
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9CWfPgI3t
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2trT8C1o30
That planted within her a perpetual fear of abandonment.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF364fqeOh
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfW25cztve
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGmrVaJl64
And in an attempt to avoid pain, she had become even more withdrawn than before.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefFAy8yvtO
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfoGaif0p2
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBrZPi81yY
Then, problems began piling up, one after the other—shaking her confidence, isolating her, fueling self-blame, overthinking, and insomnia…128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXkRIPpCBT
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iclV7ax6N
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a9o8C3q1s
All shaping her into the person she was now.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFaLi4QWGb
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm62YK8VlK
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UxPecyKFs

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYlzSu6T7x
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5AWQ3YD4l

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9XMNlJmy8
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fMN4PTYww
Memories, old events—still shackled to her.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQUIylbnGy
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJwBjiIarUz
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlun5RpgFLt
For nightmares are merely echoes of memories and experiences we failed to overcome, unable to cast them into the farthest corners of our minds.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxTObrj1Pg
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbeSqDbxu5
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULji4SdsKA

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuDdmKYVN7
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42J1gzhGBK
The dark thoughts in her mind never ceased—they spoke day and night, at all times, in all places, driving her to the brink of madness.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6J4p7WwE7s

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0JU4djIVB

128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLzYDbvCs1

Doubt gnawed at her once more.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlrhQu22l7
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg4N7XluxY
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmXqCqr3I7
Why would Arthur leave his friends and family just to wander around with her?128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLeq6vJUKSe
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8hS5XvyEY
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLblrUGoV4K
With his bright personality and handsome face, she was sure he was quite popular.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yjt4GiqaL
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywLvPSrrhL
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQJX98d0XE
Meanwhile, Eileen… Well, she didn’t want to start another self-loathing spiral.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf1itOuVjD
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1dGtJF7vD
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiSOFFyR4M
But honestly, spending time with her would be a waste. She wasn’t fun, nor a great conversationalist, nor did she possess a remarkable personality or beauty…128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xMRMxwp61
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dkzXdgyY5
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ19kY0iPe
She shut her eyes tightly, covering her ears, as a cacophony of intrusive thoughts and noise swelled in her head.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNTCj8ubIJp
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRImRLZyzdb
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMERM7iYJs
Then—128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ix11DjgNT
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXzmjbEZ7Q
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcuxdD7dL5P
A hand rested on her shoulder.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv25j5K5lz
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6RscRfMOg

And as always, in Arthur’s presence, all those thoughts and voices fell silent, granting her a few minutes of peace.128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXA9aTtWRf
128Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmlzMmKE2M
