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.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFcDzmAz501

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. 227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJFtpIDxqS

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 227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mPSJveiyo

The blaring of sirens and honking of cars grew louder, intensifying her headache and dizziness, as if she were trapped in a whirlwind. 227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Hg9QoS813

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:227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ758749BX5

The grip on her neck tightened, suffocating her, her lungs desperate for air as she thrashed in a futile attempt to escape.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDa83xj0GiL
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpmnOgNwz7
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSd8gcwBiN
She gasped awake, filling her lungs with air, drenched in sweat, leaving damp imprints on the bedsheet.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTRrX5UyN7

Really? She had only slept for half an hour!227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW7IRFh5vX
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YgLazTkZY
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKBeLR0Fju
Yes, Eileen’s old and unwelcome friend had returned—insomnia—bringing along its usual gift: nightmares.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLvcjRIdri
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Dwomg2Fyv
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcH8kqEqZbo
Since she met Arthur, her nightmares had lessened. She had even managed to sleep for a few hours sometimes.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWVHhtKiTP
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNSJTCnL25
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAekBVvtcop
But as Arthur once said, he would be away for a while…227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW5NqqOi7rz
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEit2LnkNT
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiPiYJsIpu
It had been three days, maybe more, since their last meeting.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeTbbFI0Ke
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0W45X4tox
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPMpC13nYy
And there was still about a week left until their agreed-upon reunion.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsjsJuTn3OP
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsyP25ZCq8f
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5FwMZolod
Arthur had completely vanished, to the point where Eileen started doubting his existence—was he just an illusion? A figment of her imagination?227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXAGoAr1wj

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…227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXHtrDrkav
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNsdkcIt3mh
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytoyHzfFlj
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.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnFxSTEeYj
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpVnH5vZw1
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZuyNn2hf7
For in the absence of the sun, all thoughts turn dark and bleak.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGYAJAvfWG
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcGVqA56fa
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZ8uGMdmud
Stepping out of the bathroom, she was met with her reflection in the mirror.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVXyD1c9xad
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2HELExzLw
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gTd4ilzE0
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.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkDQDsAPGW
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkV7LqIbK6D
Perhaps she was simply blind to the truth—that she was beautiful.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Zzy2dJAu6
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRorAKp37tZ
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxC9VpwUSz
Exquisitely so, though hidden behind a veil of exhaustion and shadows of sleepless nights.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUuNgt11lR
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzNmNYCNMf
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKGkoilEYl
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.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q9djCDKaT
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofP9d3ywW3
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5fqogtkMm
She finally turned away from her reflection, shifting her attention to the window, where she noticed the paper airplane resting nearby.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinkPxBZMsn
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuSsbMKQV9J
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QsjsgLDxI
A slight smile appeared on her lips and her features softened with relief. 227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPL9LJYKng
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZOrfok6MQ
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS69aFRm2Ub
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.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPN7vjWOfCx
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKz0QEMEulS
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjWmq7akTr
After changing her clothes, she put on her coat and scarf—actually, Arthur’s scarf—choosing it over her own.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43fkECYHlW
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKUsZvetlQ
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzkbccmT0Q
Why?227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNAvO5uEKR
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDKPbO8DgQo
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjPVuhAGVg
Perhaps because she wanted to feel Arthur’s presence around her after his disappearance?227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Czb50GSQH
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO7tfgUN7W5
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnRvWgcVYd
Or maybe because it was warmer?227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpL8g1pO7fC
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoryhs5lNEY
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd12cfykH0Y
Or maybe… because she missed the owner of that scarf?227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjU9uMgSE6o
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdaaHdpj5E
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNNrisxyhp
Who knew… No one, not even Eileen.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3Dh8MqaTY
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxL3GcY5Agn
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcXn70Afq4
Or perhaps she did know… but preferred to ignore the feelings that had been stirring within her lately.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfFJDd23Jf
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVpLplLbk1
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuNa646yaX
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.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4nF6iA9Xq
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcafYPXJ7CI
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRPBNMFsjv
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.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWDRqetyZw
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9pl7ifHv8
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFyAwLxVPb
With her usual slow, unchanging steps, and eyes embracing the sky, she wandered aimlessly before sunrise.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡec2YwaCxZ0
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvWTj02NAE
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FEioSSKiN
She used to never lift her gaze from the ground while walking—at any time, in any place.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrEqg62h41
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZphM7ppAe
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58zhYSB48N
But now, ever since the first time she gazed at the sky with Arthur… she had fallen in love with that vast expanse.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3prQd0oiBt
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU5SKn25qj
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59rijfiaez
She had grown to adore its star-studded blackness, its blue streaked with white clouds, and the fiery hues of sunset.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxhjAHcC4F
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGbPlsbBjNg
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0rxNV3QjR
She cherished its stars, its moon, its sun.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMNPdOmhWa
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWBzQGrHEh
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5AEjJzIvH
She found solace only in contemplating them.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhA6ebrVAU3
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFK7HnGaLMh
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUFtkxjr5q
And there, on the bridge overlooking the vast sea, she watched the sun rise, casting golden rays that reminded her of someone.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngoEBuLvRP
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizzeheLFdM
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oIeCk38DF
She could almost see Arthur’s silhouette watching it with her.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6ySC4lbKz

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZjJCRDH7L
«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…»227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWBY63A6gr
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jql22ioO0
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyLmsdvk5D
Arthur had appeared suddenly at the start of December.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpGesxBTb6
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfwhavSTOA
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89tbhlS5b2

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB1lN1b9DYv
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGXjYY7JOq
Yet, he had become an integral part of Eileen’s routine.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcsPSeHLro
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKF5UxM8fbu
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHzDty0Wml
That in itself was a cause for concern… and fear.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaGkScTAxi
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoR9VV1dYx7
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagt5AR0zZz
What if Eileen grew too attached to him?227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz35HgFp8D
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSC2eXVye7Z
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSh7AnROhz
And in the end, he left—because she had never truly mattered to him in the first place.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGce9IMoXJ9
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8zTix9A99
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tyT6YuoFO
What if his actions were nothing more than pity for a depressed girl?227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcdZd72O1F
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRo5mL2haX
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkf7CrHc9y
Or perhaps he just wanted some company during his stay—nothing more.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZWPbhKEV3
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxZLldGLXM
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37wRzXjA1W
Eileen doubted her place in Arthur’s life… Not just in his, but in everyone’s.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKsbSumP68
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbkRpJK9EQ
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7XNmijvZkH
She had always been replaceable.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7E692gl50q
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvKAt3b0X1
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCFzzxLXtV

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZHdueqDdx
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1oc8O35d7
That planted within her a perpetual fear of abandonment.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelQ8cbS8hr
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPEixDUUMG
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmoLFyFZym
And in an attempt to avoid pain, she had become even more withdrawn than before.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOGpxz9NM0
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEN3HLarft3
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCGfkXsyIw
Then, problems began piling up, one after the other—shaking her confidence, isolating her, fueling self-blame, overthinking, and insomnia…227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi7TRr4P4M
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UirMllwfw
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWrFUS3wqG
All shaping her into the person she was now.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqf74FuuYa
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsYrZY5V4Q
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLbyXq9KNh

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsdAjswdXq
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwYsr8sCny

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWORlka1DIN
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39lX2Ivjyu
Memories, old events—still shackled to her.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHse82LpSr
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OaLASnQmh
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxFThvsxo1
For nightmares are merely echoes of memories and experiences we failed to overcome, unable to cast them into the farthest corners of our minds.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTCG5Veidz
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8t9sLleCY
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCSwJF9b48

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqilihHeFTk

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU0jWeSwGf
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCFYa7j9gH
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.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggeBWqR6U0

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNoWWDb1Mb

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyD63qkeJI4
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbK1Lnh53X9
Why would Arthur leave his friends and family just to wander around with her?227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84AAwGHaKn
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y4PfOOwoq
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPX7Uy0IsDg

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ehnckRPbY
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCNElhzOHS
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…227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJXf1N0COf
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUSo9PMdlh
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pueBGOz6V
She shut her eyes tightly, covering her ears, as a cacophony of intrusive thoughts and noise swelled in her head.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4UhImiS9d

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD4St6Ph1o

A hand rested on her shoulder.227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXRUIbECn0a
227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOkLBY6HOA

227Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GUNnaIRLi
