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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlM6lLa4J80

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. 105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡckJudYy56U

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 105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSh5kHfIFT9

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:105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC8fD1vH3g0

The grip on her neck tightened, suffocating her, her lungs desperate for air as she thrashed in a futile attempt to escape.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRUvnRBLuf
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSSje8blW7
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQQwOmO8TD

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww3qEXroWU
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHhJ8s7Dca
Yes, Eileen’s old and unwelcome friend had returned—insomnia—bringing along its usual gift: nightmares.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOh2kW0RWQ
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yxSK5sf0X
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5QnvITjyj
Since she met Arthur, her nightmares had lessened. She had even managed to sleep for a few hours sometimes.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhrTBr0nUBv
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveQF0DeKII
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGURE2joUKv
But as Arthur once said, he would be away for a while…105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn7RirNzzj
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNFMGm28DC
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpv5k4wyzy
It had been three days, maybe more, since their last meeting.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfMdaLE6fl
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjb883lIUAo
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVr5z80L6C
And there was still about a week left until their agreed-upon reunion.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv22pWnbg3t
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzH4RumW4Mu
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRG7GlTDPt
Arthur had completely vanished, to the point where Eileen started doubting his existence—was he just an illusion? A figment of her imagination?105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6BObaXYKd

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…105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LTpUoigwp
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr2DFazBnk
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bs89yM4WY
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4umeTz2OhB
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcWlrtSJsCD
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡihenG68SOr
For in the absence of the sun, all thoughts turn dark and bleak.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFkIEsx2EY
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQ3QIHcaAU
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIzD7FEGXu
Stepping out of the bathroom, she was met with her reflection in the mirror.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWTRwzgoQz
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazMwjVovLf
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHWjHz04nX
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4TU77AC7f
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2e4A4A86P
Perhaps she was simply blind to the truth—that she was beautiful.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysgEaIanJS
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyTxOdGwDL
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzlWOhsuvc
Exquisitely so, though hidden behind a veil of exhaustion and shadows of sleepless nights.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzk6uHibwu1
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IM8Ws00np
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDWBkIBX76
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG2fi7EkuRl
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKTvQl6NHk
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNabTHAPfS
She finally turned away from her reflection, shifting her attention to the window, where she noticed the paper airplane resting nearby.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszWFaLW4vv
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47gMwpUDDZ
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqxZvqBrBD

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXwECJCPoh
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡruH2bW2DMH
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBD9iWRM9B
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2IsgIOIDf
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGb5z6ZgcXe
After changing her clothes, she put on her coat and scarf—actually, Arthur’s scarf—choosing it over her own.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinHbajNaPb
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBxWVvxeB2
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWuaDiYrxv
Why?105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xeLbXIg6O
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHzUaSiESv
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPwbowSs3h
Perhaps because she wanted to feel Arthur’s presence around her after his disappearance?105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiP3QMD2kzn
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc68lUcsqW
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnO5Zb8dp0E

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlPCa7cr6w
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmR29tizoQM
Or maybe… because she missed the owner of that scarf?105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASEVclkfQK
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2VFIwDJKX
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicRhis6UmJ

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2EXYG22kA
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLBkOP7KhG
Or perhaps she did know… but preferred to ignore the feelings that had been stirring within her lately.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ88b9bC5Zu
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09TH54gwsX
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBdcVsq6rr
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1wEqp4DkQ
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY4lhW0X7Nz
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9g7qsW4ha
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.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuGbTTDAQq
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0KsNdMdLZ
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29fLgV2O3S
With her usual slow, unchanging steps, and eyes embracing the sky, she wandered aimlessly before sunrise.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMjWU01TZx
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ghYprszge
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Vu37i3lT

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfB790yjBx
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMOXZrWWVd
But now, ever since the first time she gazed at the sky with Arthur… she had fallen in love with that vast expanse.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN273jbyxs
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntbJAoE0wC
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HdYAtJnSN
She had grown to adore its star-studded blackness, its blue streaked with white clouds, and the fiery hues of sunset.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXv4RdrSdz
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsj0epjooz
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVAf9DxJVs

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcqAKWpb3aB
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIzHVMoMCWO
She found solace only in contemplating them.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJR1ZBTlBT
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngO1RRaSCP
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXCdCwjEUO
And there, on the bridge overlooking the vast sea, she watched the sun rise, casting golden rays that reminded her of someone.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwZUb2QJ2V
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lyI06XysW
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Njp43GvXu

«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…»105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTHxb2fyzQ

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2UPLZfnTn
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwWsyXoZxz2

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhlWilI4Cs
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFzmH3aLvh

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOL6bp1OBo1
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlNDCP0CKf

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YkYuIHqXs
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoxbo6tt2K
And in the end, he left—because she had never truly mattered to him in the first place.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3bgDhIT4i
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwCuBCocnu
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡav4tD8imR5

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk58JfQjJpE
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxDLcDaNgZ
Or perhaps he just wanted some company during his stay—nothing more.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmNpjC72pp
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Etd3heDQq
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUAJVrWAQ24
Eileen doubted her place in Arthur’s life… Not just in his, but in everyone’s.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7qucapBEb
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXeREnvWobq
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dqBsGvodF

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrt82UtFQay
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzLlcpzMKY
That planted within her a perpetual fear of abandonment.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYoAfAayGW
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRx0gxun57r
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ87w4V3IB2
And in an attempt to avoid pain, she had become even more withdrawn than before.105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUCarytM1Z
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMvLZqp2X8h
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOd1UHu8C0
Then, problems began piling up, one after the other—shaking her confidence, isolating her, fueling self-blame, overthinking, and insomnia…105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdroDN1vUnE
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjpNuRUDIP

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmrzbdWD6e

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pxnNYldSa
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHR8sgxPqP

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvUccsEzR5
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw7WEvRjFzY

105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bxvmpH2YS
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wpzhwVDYz
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…105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmwD6GyeMj
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQoEIRFdr4d
