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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJ5AP8HQuQ

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. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3aEonfbW8

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 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmx1cltMuj3

The blaring of sirens and honking of cars grew louder, intensifying her headache and dizziness, as if she were trapped in a whirlwind. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzprQ2GgFVg

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:93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlqvGRvEje

The grip on her neck tightened, suffocating her, her lungs desperate for air as she thrashed in a futile attempt to escape.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9HfnrOC8q
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgMgjNg8j9
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCxbKcyBH9
She gasped awake, filling her lungs with air, drenched in sweat, leaving damp imprints on the bedsheet.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuwu8rpuy2
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfuuhaEDq9u

She turned her gaze toward the clock.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFTpiwGqMB5
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkMGnUflYn
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVRrdGUWCj
4:30 AM.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ92vaYNxGul
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZP6v4OpsL
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cemnLcNIU
Really? She had only slept for half an hour!93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqjCxzYAvK
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEkxcoCUtH
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEH4EJLrE6I
Yes, Eileen’s old and unwelcome friend had returned—insomnia—bringing along its usual gift: nightmares.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡScx6O5fWeZ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKLysb0uj8
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0i7gBBDs9J
Since she met Arthur, her nightmares had lessened. She had even managed to sleep for a few hours sometimes.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAafMc8vSdJ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhWFB29GqJ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVLCnFrinw
But as Arthur once said, he would be away for a while…93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGZQFw8xyd
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvdGy27Lq6
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp6nX3Ayyt
It had been three days, maybe more, since their last meeting.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoyoAWqGmE
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWE1ssD9cT
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3W2HNBodM
And there was still about a week left until their agreed-upon reunion.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA25Ca3twi0
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqdXQ5JSaj
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF6P9HXBGAt
Arthur had completely vanished, to the point where Eileen started doubting his existence—was he just an illusion? A figment of her imagination?93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbvar7G0f8

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…93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZAIvJwojT
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCw78N4gq9U
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDBl64KlrI
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpGzA7qo6g
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DEGfcLn7c
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ0eR8P7Um
For in the absence of the sun, all thoughts turn dark and bleak.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU9MtfVsQkT
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lonxfBOB0
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb6Chkz3id
Stepping out of the bathroom, she was met with her reflection in the mirror.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3SJzzQJEJ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdgx9pZUcIi
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkRZ1pYeRR
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT3FIanbxg
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjQYsDQqQD
Perhaps she was simply blind to the truth—that she was beautiful.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL5bFnhlGR
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73DKNLTdDc
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0c3r808DP
Exquisitely so, though hidden behind a veil of exhaustion and shadows of sleepless nights.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21Y17yrjI5
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlZ1JYc3k2
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDkWDwmZWm
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpob7MqzUF
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFN5bGhPFc
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFfX5SgTc3
She finally turned away from her reflection, shifting her attention to the window, where she noticed the paper airplane resting nearby.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64IN2Q6W1e
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1ULeBocf3
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZi7lm7TdxW
A slight smile appeared on her lips and her features softened with relief. 93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEAO3rKGjD
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pOJ9YDjaW
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUH3X45H6e
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK89GDF12q
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqYUYNfVuQ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSD29koaBKE
After changing her clothes, she put on her coat and scarf—actually, Arthur’s scarf—choosing it over her own.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfPn4xneEP
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl97X8YmM4z
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLmFRiIl648
Why?93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAEFaqW9jf
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1fhn18fFW
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwCDtqFfzq
Perhaps because she wanted to feel Arthur’s presence around her after his disappearance?93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj4DCQObrL
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEP1u7W6nw
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuIpe85ZA0
Or maybe because it was warmer?93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD8oj6qCzm
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgNFFWGj1t
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCtBGvmErXX
Or maybe… because she missed the owner of that scarf?93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDxWcIbluac
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3a73qg2ZN
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMA3egwhNm
Who knew… No one, not even Eileen.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxV0iBUtrit
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pLVMapyIR
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIxLpdkX95
Or perhaps she did know… but preferred to ignore the feelings that had been stirring within her lately.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDP1q0pUeV
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYxoWGulzM
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwax7iPAW6
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy4x3o5cvD
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdEWhFy45l
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JELXqDZ0E
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFg2hlqjWgk
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdi4WrNksi
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW77WvaHq3B
With her usual slow, unchanging steps, and eyes embracing the sky, she wandered aimlessly before sunrise.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZTHaBi6Z7
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSBfYnUwZi
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4ouW8gO0y
She used to never lift her gaze from the ground while walking—at any time, in any place.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhO7dluyyy
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXwEf9Ouiy
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSP30zfGXt
But now, ever since the first time she gazed at the sky with Arthur… she had fallen in love with that vast expanse.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXO7plwKSqz
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBzMVsH2pB
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUI3iVDyNlV
She had grown to adore its star-studded blackness, its blue streaked with white clouds, and the fiery hues of sunset.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAAq7r2JA2
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrwox2Y4ec
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYYAX05t6X
She cherished its stars, its moon, its sun.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2RmPlg7gr
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWDMhGS5DZ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYrTZRTGYT
She found solace only in contemplating them.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTc9GwcH3rU
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNRJcVXV9VL
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZz45jRopVN
And there, on the bridge overlooking the vast sea, she watched the sun rise, casting golden rays that reminded her of someone.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMICfh3MknG
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYjxwog79J
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqbMeyyDe7
She could almost see Arthur’s silhouette watching it with her.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7ZznZ2GzD

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlT83i5PJh1
«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…»93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCknYsii9i
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm3JNJbMZ7
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr9d6t9aza
Arthur had appeared suddenly at the start of December.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JO7KBGQWQ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHf24KAPRp
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadw32LLPcd
And now, the month was nearing its end.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxTHMwcBgq
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp58fxkjL0Z
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHP5fPvnQGZ
Yet, he had become an integral part of Eileen’s routine.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUFtnjuUyi
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1slWWDesbO
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZgPGQfkjcc
That in itself was a cause for concern… and fear.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwsnhfkGJl
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ521oL7yZem
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrNXKKD9oH
What if Eileen grew too attached to him?93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDbSbna4d4
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHm7JIr9lX
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylTk9nzfPv
And in the end, he left—because she had never truly mattered to him in the first place.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CgTJpCTlR
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5wqFRlQKV
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAyfJLOVXq
What if his actions were nothing more than pity for a depressed girl?93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCRQpuw4Db
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBer0bqsNuo
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOGW7AH6hl
Or perhaps he just wanted some company during his stay—nothing more.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpn2rh33Co
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFjhJVNSL9G
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBY8OgpbBBH
Eileen doubted her place in Arthur’s life… Not just in his, but in everyone’s.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SQVT9jcoS
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyG32f94Eol
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx87Zfq3txX
She had always been replaceable.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskNANKfTfw
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6tqtJj4sA
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡodr8jP4v4d
She had never been anyone’s number one.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaWzX8yhLF
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwbLo5UweA
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaoW2rNqNQL
That planted within her a perpetual fear of abandonment.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYY1vpBbTy
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzYk43ROYq
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6teOVmHKo
And in an attempt to avoid pain, she had become even more withdrawn than before.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfIiv1L4QS
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXdgPQZ6xb
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYotzjFvdy
Then, problems began piling up, one after the other—shaking her confidence, isolating her, fueling self-blame, overthinking, and insomnia…93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmVeUsKXRC
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgwLhcgO2N
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMUIBRFscW
All shaping her into the person she was now.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVl9pEyxDO
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2vIsctnSg
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQb9vhms0J
She still believed she didn’t deserve love.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpxjihVuMh
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ5uKaUCe5
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivLi7ytZdn
That she was a curse to everyone around her.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfIbyd82sZ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMkoZRIjRm
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2O4OLpdpV
Memories, old events—still shackled to her.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6yZkmYUAC
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1In7sCmq2
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIHEempaMA
For nightmares are merely echoes of memories and experiences we failed to overcome, unable to cast them into the farthest corners of our minds.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh43YqWaND6
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiqgriu1ClF
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7cSfsGKt54
And so, they return to haunt us… until we face them.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptLTIzlIy6

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCLZw56tzw
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mMH4l7eTh
Noticing that the sun had already risen, she realized it was time to head to work.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07YW5ZfqrB

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbyquKc64F
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEGhHOwmQK
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.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsSINbxO7d

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HGqYf43QV
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaRJJGf0FX4
She dressed well—or at least, she tried to look presentable.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVzaxKx8zR
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JgGzNFBOw
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkfNGmqhmx
Standing beneath the streetlight where she always met Arthur, she counted the minutes and seconds.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPACIBkiO3Z
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6hq2x70ri
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAF4wtJFpi

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyH82yK08ae
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqyv2enUpL
Doubt gnawed at her once more.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoOlodlgaH
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ38wozn4WZS
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHuumrLFJF
Why would Arthur leave his friends and family just to wander around with her?93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9c1JExGWIb
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1YOqFH6v4
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWYCH8QLaE
With his bright personality and handsome face, she was sure he was quite popular.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J7GTMZ0sp
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaHG0AWyKy
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiGiGvf7O0
Meanwhile, Eileen… Well, she didn’t want to start another self-loathing spiral.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZupsF70eL3
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuj99GQTSA
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFFe0Vlj8E
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…93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecaWHYmanZ
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGIrhbgyLf
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA90Y6eRlzt
She shut her eyes tightly, covering her ears, as a cacophony of intrusive thoughts and noise swelled in her head.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7PdKPopQY
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF53Dda3NUi
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcyfQ5WiD4
Then—93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6ZwzEiWvr
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydjbnXKEMO
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCjlWo14r9
A hand rested on her shoulder.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRw5etEvQFh
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9AxPjLQs8
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzM2jDaB9a

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7BIfTprmA
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQRw1X8W5l9
And as always, in Arthur’s presence, all those thoughts and voices fell silent, granting her a few minutes of peace.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ6dGcqs0t
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oPtSYVyPY
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbdj1gtcAH
She smiled faintly and nodded.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXIs9Xy5RH
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXdbBRaoq7
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5KJQJv7DXY
As usual, he intertwined their fingers and tucked their hands into his pocket.93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8IYg57k05
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4gCPHum9Y
93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhARMoouPl

93Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumeGRGQh5o
