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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrWGuU37vy

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. 96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKV6H2aUDe

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 96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74gbnvCTnc
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAesR9pwzHQ

The blaring of sirens and honking of cars grew louder, intensifying her headache and dizziness, as if she were trapped in a whirlwind. 96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzQGCXvXwg

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:96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqWljdXpeB

The grip on her neck tightened, suffocating her, her lungs desperate for air as she thrashed in a futile attempt to escape.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylMv62da2t
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDhxDs8FpP
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYvQn06g10
She gasped awake, filling her lungs with air, drenched in sweat, leaving damp imprints on the bedsheet.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMH8fAKYF1
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYngI9xGa0P

96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZJxAo0SnV
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgc6WdDIX9
Really? She had only slept for half an hour!96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtDQPD9hOc
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NMRjgjWHl
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdlIUXJ9P0
Yes, Eileen’s old and unwelcome friend had returned—insomnia—bringing along its usual gift: nightmares.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8CMYO2qP4
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CyKZYfLh0
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsJO6yCcKs
Since she met Arthur, her nightmares had lessened. She had even managed to sleep for a few hours sometimes.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpaAqVnVCM
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9rksh7NpdE
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uYpnMYioc
But as Arthur once said, he would be away for a while…96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6UHQ7iJTY
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHRwa9yLAH
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkkmp3VuSP
It had been three days, maybe more, since their last meeting.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2bok3g1Na
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgB12FSUIDu
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqrozflLqS
And there was still about a week left until their agreed-upon reunion.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCan9HvaLM
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr1D6G2YIr
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1s5jA87CB
Arthur had completely vanished, to the point where Eileen started doubting his existence—was he just an illusion? A figment of her imagination?96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUp9lY4jsV
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGITnEu5XTw

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…96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAVGBROISm
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcv3uWP3Oub
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbCRmHCYRO
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qh7XLNLrr
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAQOLONCV0
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOCxlaGCuy
For in the absence of the sun, all thoughts turn dark and bleak.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hh21Qr2eU
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYVCILV1EL
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTSmivqvCP
Stepping out of the bathroom, she was met with her reflection in the mirror.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmogb1Ja8Z
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSt2eLcgupV
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jljbcEr9F
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdilnDw5Nvp
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWEPQ4GWya
Perhaps she was simply blind to the truth—that she was beautiful.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3bRRzf9as
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqMJXKjrKg
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhMQChKt8a
Exquisitely so, though hidden behind a veil of exhaustion and shadows of sleepless nights.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSiwmWgAaq
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ujUG8ATpT
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46zGf38Xal
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ437kikjhYI
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUey4Uc2jja
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOaahFserz
She finally turned away from her reflection, shifting her attention to the window, where she noticed the paper airplane resting nearby.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA17BA1Y0ab
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmeRw1LmlP
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvzu8cHIgB
A slight smile appeared on her lips and her features softened with relief. 96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TeOk5a8at
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyVF5SrlQl
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRURKxEOc6
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0OhE8G6Od
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLLOQLGtwx
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP0hpAwoJz
After changing her clothes, she put on her coat and scarf—actually, Arthur’s scarf—choosing it over her own.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSk8IKrmDHe
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJdMSBrSmF
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OWBi9feJE
Why?96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSKzsJ3rjk
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡan8XVIanwJ
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDX4ZxhRYV
Perhaps because she wanted to feel Arthur’s presence around her after his disappearance?96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfIuijn7SM
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYYSvcZ1i5
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyKyA2n9OH
Or maybe because it was warmer?96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3noa9ctVa
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms2B7s3c32
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVokitS9pg2
Or maybe… because she missed the owner of that scarf?96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDcaCyYXLI
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV076JpIIis
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6xOzJ2cda
Who knew… No one, not even Eileen.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgtwRaMcQ4
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEQ4fVqRAB6
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8N87RAXsyj
Or perhaps she did know… but preferred to ignore the feelings that had been stirring within her lately.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNhs7R9I5K
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mHlwkrs5P
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ3e2ZWknZ
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBINCocFyjO
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSS5jBwPVq
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5Pco7wfAg
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5eC5mcycj
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qlpGVUfBX
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9mRlocLOt
With her usual slow, unchanging steps, and eyes embracing the sky, she wandered aimlessly before sunrise.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5cmTIFaGy
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9PfboMliG
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykUx5QWaBR
She used to never lift her gaze from the ground while walking—at any time, in any place.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kL2duRHzF
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5bItpjudn
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDVWDGF831
But now, ever since the first time she gazed at the sky with Arthur… she had fallen in love with that vast expanse.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGwTxuyXf0
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnInzayMSZv
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEcvFXJqol
She had grown to adore its star-studded blackness, its blue streaked with white clouds, and the fiery hues of sunset.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAF0sBuSwCt
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkL1DcaZVm
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnh033rjky7
She cherished its stars, its moon, its sun.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLkinq8TzC
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOebVZVueQ
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0NYXvgUAR
She found solace only in contemplating them.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMwoJ10kz0
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu0ZKJyaTDG
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ083WBsOdlB
And there, on the bridge overlooking the vast sea, she watched the sun rise, casting golden rays that reminded her of someone.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIco3qOM15
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTHCxC5SsF
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPNzx8I1V4
She could almost see Arthur’s silhouette watching it with her.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mFSRaWyRT

96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDovTjGZgP
«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…»96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQs8Zt7CcE
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25WVycl4ZQ
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnud8oQfwz
Arthur had appeared suddenly at the start of December.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOggdjtH6iW
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMPaPdneTF
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkzG2HIfED
And now, the month was nearing its end.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi9pTQ7B5q
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YQw7co4Qk
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4IcvPp5lY
Yet, he had become an integral part of Eileen’s routine.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHAzUL3HBx
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij3oiwj1hp
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDi8ykCxmy
That in itself was a cause for concern… and fear.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyz2ZcZ7XT
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Xn7ZIbnmY
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKulzHvlAiM
What if Eileen grew too attached to him?96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKhTgUC0c1
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkxtArQ8Zt
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviHKFIfYtX
And in the end, he left—because she had never truly mattered to him in the first place.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP1WGYnCgzn
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPh14sJdCYi
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YraKa1YaL
What if his actions were nothing more than pity for a depressed girl?96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgqubb1WUM
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPU9IaGgSPD
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eD4IAwcz3
Or perhaps he just wanted some company during his stay—nothing more.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Vf28Ud3P
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMejhEGDf8
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTqQICdnPe
Eileen doubted her place in Arthur’s life… Not just in his, but in everyone’s.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPgJWUA5VY
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzafE1Ac7f
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Z9yRLm24a
She had always been replaceable.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2PqQx4ihC
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gbGmpjosE
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76GnQtql3s
She had never been anyone’s number one.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnvhlB6zr0
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN57HNtFjOz
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8mq9hhgYX
That planted within her a perpetual fear of abandonment.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SscthtuY9
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuLzAo289s
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Ir77jMplJ
And in an attempt to avoid pain, she had become even more withdrawn than before.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIC4BjdNyq
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiY09A6TAXl
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3HWIYgUOj
Then, problems began piling up, one after the other—shaking her confidence, isolating her, fueling self-blame, overthinking, and insomnia…96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaYM8t9K2c
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjadlTgqoS4
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iXHEcvR2O
All shaping her into the person she was now.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtX9NFxtVJZ
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnEvUrOdBT
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63hcR8Aq4V
She still believed she didn’t deserve love.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pSxAdqezQ
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPZtcAdxh1
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oFqXoGA10
That she was a curse to everyone around her.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOKZqWBOsg
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP08JnMDTaA
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ZyfrwNiWw
Memories, old events—still shackled to her.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW4m891DTNj
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVIrOHtACl
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4APdj2uj07
For nightmares are merely echoes of memories and experiences we failed to overcome, unable to cast them into the farthest corners of our minds.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAreFrYUu6
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oPVC3nxuP
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKyOwQmKsd

96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNynqAJs43r

96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnjB1QRNZ9
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyiMKIkC1z
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.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClNMiODysT

96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIANci1Fkj6
She dressed well—or at least, she tried to look presentable.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0noO15gHxW
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfzfLN4UjN
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWOLCvIPRp
Standing beneath the streetlight where she always met Arthur, she counted the minutes and seconds.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7k4xKtgxi
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXZh4Fv3Yu
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrH6cGkfxm

96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMNY6lKmsI
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0PI0Wmguu0
Doubt gnawed at her once more.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAcjyUqQJe
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzplorLxgmj
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeu0S4I4EM7
Why would Arthur leave his friends and family just to wander around with her?96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarvHzBRoCk
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZBmxZGAlc
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡer4UYkCFch
With his bright personality and handsome face, she was sure he was quite popular.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCLJ6HVwog
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJN4HduGLS
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrJRv68unK
Meanwhile, Eileen… Well, she didn’t want to start another self-loathing spiral.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHB2HFdSzSt
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmAx4D72iR
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNOT1HpVOb
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…96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwU8PYq1G3
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTRToQs6Em
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBUU672u4n
She shut her eyes tightly, covering her ears, as a cacophony of intrusive thoughts and noise swelled in her head.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAdEjnG4lG
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yTwFN1OO7

Then—96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUoiN2Da6D
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg2188RaGW
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0Rvg2ubMR
A hand rested on her shoulder.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwlLXaI6ku
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxixJYCtqn
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVcm41c2H7o

96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZNBkLyVu6
And as always, in Arthur’s presence, all those thoughts and voices fell silent, granting her a few minutes of peace.96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyufPYp4fBc
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDeopdBAOp
96Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdefUf6Aw6X
