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.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFuUHqR0nq

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. 186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkGMTMBrku

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 186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAWwXdJEti

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:186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEqWJciqzBk

The grip on her neck tightened, suffocating her, her lungs desperate for air as she thrashed in a futile attempt to escape.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt2sFOXudK5
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J1VpvvSwh
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTYLeJivyc

Really? She had only slept for half an hour!186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwNsWctBIgE
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchnXnfYaNf
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaJZ0v4tsG
Yes, Eileen’s old and unwelcome friend had returned—insomnia—bringing along its usual gift: nightmares.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwy50H4A1TH
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBWbbaRFkn
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL420urYsEL
Since she met Arthur, her nightmares had lessened. She had even managed to sleep for a few hours sometimes.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJvpJp8g4H
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15ozn4hIGN
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2f4s2EmX8
But as Arthur once said, he would be away for a while…186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmortCVMFdm
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIZBG0LUC5
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGfbX2kVw9c
It had been three days, maybe more, since their last meeting.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2OVPHtnjK
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WioGcxwpo
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡteqK0JTvat
And there was still about a week left until their agreed-upon reunion.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wIOma2YRG
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpn8740PylR
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6hsxzAf7j
Arthur had completely vanished, to the point where Eileen started doubting his existence—was he just an illusion? A figment of her imagination?186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwrBeCV7MD

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…186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xnS4pZDDf
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMHfOjqy9x
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppR2o515eE
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.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98MWogjTKQ
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5pDbjKws1
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHo1OgBGFU
For in the absence of the sun, all thoughts turn dark and bleak.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yJSiR8OPX
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtf4qzAQDGZ
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GCBLg4vAQ
Stepping out of the bathroom, she was met with her reflection in the mirror.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTljfdMKzq
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNW4U5M1fC
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqNsWC90MR
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.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8brKFU2f6Q
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEquX8oWo6d
Perhaps she was simply blind to the truth—that she was beautiful.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM4y4iWCtQ
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GLI9kQqTP
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pt6x3hyOd
Exquisitely so, though hidden behind a veil of exhaustion and shadows of sleepless nights.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5xiPBTlcN
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ45T5RxzKr
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBbiYSJnDw
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.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRUXlS88yv
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX2b1M4VjCG
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFRq34ja2W
She finally turned away from her reflection, shifting her attention to the window, where she noticed the paper airplane resting nearby.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfp2d8gwkwZ
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jcf7cLJJW
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspGbvXi6Du

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgipwTb5oz6
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQUW254itBj
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.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0JsMcFd8O
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOGVkUeM6Z
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2msd5fLeZZ
After changing her clothes, she put on her coat and scarf—actually, Arthur’s scarf—choosing it over her own.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82bNQDzGNu
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96bs7lKWpo
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8cmdZK7u5
Why?186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb6CpdguaA
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqnGludM5n
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIinPm4Qylo
Perhaps because she wanted to feel Arthur’s presence around her after his disappearance?186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtMHhkWEBp
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvV1NHt0Ro
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCplJaOYvZ7
Or maybe because it was warmer?186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXTi51tS1k
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGMaPgI87U
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNfeymZjZFu
Or maybe… because she missed the owner of that scarf?186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV15FIc1HB6
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmqKEDmGZu
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡge9aiMIQk4

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdaNj68FPLP
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSf5DGnQ36
Or perhaps she did know… but preferred to ignore the feelings that had been stirring within her lately.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMY3ScV9Oa4
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSldhMMfm8
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeObsa8Cmi
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.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SROZWKvDu
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxDIX7JS1I
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3Riy4pYEF
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.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNG8TEZ3Zft
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7LcAuk6KtT
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzo5V2ZefR
With her usual slow, unchanging steps, and eyes embracing the sky, she wandered aimlessly before sunrise.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQ1sgRSxYg
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYtWmGEC4e
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQXMHSIzAQ

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjme6HXEu3P
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIsZi72lGa
But now, ever since the first time she gazed at the sky with Arthur… she had fallen in love with that vast expanse.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh392R8HFU
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNcA4qFyax
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kC41Ca8lw
She had grown to adore its star-studded blackness, its blue streaked with white clouds, and the fiery hues of sunset.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbRimIKWjL
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMerMIZGu8
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOt8JFSVK9
She cherished its stars, its moon, its sun.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDWmhp9xno
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCVyXc3KO6
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh2tJSpnzQ
She found solace only in contemplating them.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoMVVhjTDL
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGm3yzHZAJ
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImHE2ARjGe
And there, on the bridge overlooking the vast sea, she watched the sun rise, casting golden rays that reminded her of someone.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyN1wkl3Xa
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtQHawtaOGh
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ioPtv5gAD

«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…»186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqouGDA437I
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmX9WTy6D8E
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWUL4F6T2P

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYJEQky8KX

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlFF94NsBV
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx8Mr3fpOV
Yet, he had become an integral part of Eileen’s routine.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY9DCcbMBm
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQniawDp7z
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc884YNoz1p

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgi62nSUeSQ
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEfPZZbhAw
What if Eileen grew too attached to him?186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrl2WfKggTu
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1PWLdCwYF4
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPazBZANuj
And in the end, he left—because she had never truly mattered to him in the first place.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCpVZ39Jqj
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVnpQuM1iL
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vD6eAqa8P
What if his actions were nothing more than pity for a depressed girl?186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHx7HeArON2
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy7Maz3HOmz
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG45rTGGZjv
Or perhaps he just wanted some company during his stay—nothing more.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqiHNoPQQl
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCPHptkcPm
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHB1NzHwG5
Eileen doubted her place in Arthur’s life… Not just in his, but in everyone’s.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkL3cJwo6NZ
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5w0PxYUyo
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9EB83IqOc

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sIvTeW1jP
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQu2Kcdsbm

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IPuUfvI0Q
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MBtxyOpoa
That planted within her a perpetual fear of abandonment.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6tFkDAwte
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CGlyAhLLl
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHV9aRokmI
And in an attempt to avoid pain, she had become even more withdrawn than before.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYroGSdbwrt
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2L59u9bR5d
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaUuVwsppQ
Then, problems began piling up, one after the other—shaking her confidence, isolating her, fueling self-blame, overthinking, and insomnia…186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZFl7M7W3i
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3Q3WLjsws
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOmnjr08w1

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ5I5TlTBt
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDqv8qVh7g

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYzjv5QtSt
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinepJPo29n

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhYBrnogPX
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7YfGbg3Wk
For nightmares are merely echoes of memories and experiences we failed to overcome, unable to cast them into the farthest corners of our minds.186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvBwY8r0Zk
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKl4l66dvkY

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ3oKyyIwl
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiWAU8TZAw

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgbJaUVbjLa
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3t1zzjyQi
Why would Arthur leave his friends and family just to wander around with her?186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5zfw9YCsnz
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4B5kW7KZi
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSU9gbOnVbo

186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiezouMRsOq
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBX47mxRTf
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…186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtJwsvPU3C
186Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01JlKLo007
