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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwb1igUKTx

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. 110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKHPhPwCRn

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 110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVQemosfzb

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:110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXtL2bI2F1

The grip on her neck tightened, suffocating her, her lungs desperate for air as she thrashed in a futile attempt to escape.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb6MZL6N5j
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDsF7AwSF7
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZIzWA8EvJ

Really? She had only slept for half an hour!110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIGJwyGt3X
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYSrt7A84W
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemXIo6lECu
Yes, Eileen’s old and unwelcome friend had returned—insomnia—bringing along its usual gift: nightmares.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTw1a6LaRqh
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9183n7ktx4
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5UW7yZb4l
Since she met Arthur, her nightmares had lessened. She had even managed to sleep for a few hours sometimes.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSIZszmUQV
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyNOH1mB5U
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopbEDaWhyn
But as Arthur once said, he would be away for a while…110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4PPDg8aQB
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfEzACGAlB
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEZYtGTMhl
It had been three days, maybe more, since their last meeting.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBbhbqQEKv
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTlDglNqMQ
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJPIuqAHMm
And there was still about a week left until their agreed-upon reunion.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLUTPSQC9L
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYNCx6VQpg
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFoZf0FDOv
Arthur had completely vanished, to the point where Eileen started doubting his existence—was he just an illusion? A figment of her imagination?110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEM8vfWAb0l

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…110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1AsYW8ce24
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNO8wjAkk1
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7m5Nip6NbR
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF13giRW1f9
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaORyOGXp5V
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OOtTOrZFw
For in the absence of the sun, all thoughts turn dark and bleak.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfRBpRb55KB
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34fqjzsUv4
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qTzTCV3QN
Stepping out of the bathroom, she was met with her reflection in the mirror.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy26YQYYXi0
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xUa1zf9Gu
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6D6eODtT6l
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPPS16kvay
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UIvOxm4Lp
Perhaps she was simply blind to the truth—that she was beautiful.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiVfPpugOM
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVxbVKuHJt
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzDi6FhDe6
Exquisitely so, though hidden behind a veil of exhaustion and shadows of sleepless nights.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxH1zuh0ni
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv2twe4Odw
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKN4RpAYjG
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZoJMWqS3A
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYc4q2lwxyd
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW7RDwgqHL
She finally turned away from her reflection, shifting her attention to the window, where she noticed the paper airplane resting nearby.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3kD1rQRUM
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1qZy5bdHu
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBJbA72qrr
A slight smile appeared on her lips and her features softened with relief. 110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9n1S2amoTu
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUo0foJszR
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLaPwBqQoQ
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3y7bpzv3l
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtxlyculIsO
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWuQKYfrVq
After changing her clothes, she put on her coat and scarf—actually, Arthur’s scarf—choosing it over her own.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP3YqG4fY0
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqKx3HkCYS
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnAUG6s6Sn1

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8v0wIxm4N
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIclY74Gpc
Perhaps because she wanted to feel Arthur’s presence around her after his disappearance?110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplMBVxacjP
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjpASYlPG4
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGQ2EtjSPq
Or maybe because it was warmer?110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5UQbvG95VH
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisiEPrcTAJ
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UKHPiHbX8
Or maybe… because she missed the owner of that scarf?110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb1W0OlbIy
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0052998Kfx
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnFawbn6qB

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplOTodJvIg
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW7GvrY3w9
Or perhaps she did know… but preferred to ignore the feelings that had been stirring within her lately.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziQwAsDg00
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecUQU9S0Nj
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9LyAaRiPh
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C3sgPFCTR
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQszFKSI5e
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKT9NzrdygZ
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.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGS8H1WwaUU
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXVuKWDsor
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzNK2gHbJX
With her usual slow, unchanging steps, and eyes embracing the sky, she wandered aimlessly before sunrise.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7FIaFOiGh
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ4Shp0qVX
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDJHpfDfLE
She used to never lift her gaze from the ground while walking—at any time, in any place.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcZr4wdWpC
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tBzbh0SyN
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnK1tm9ZmJ
But now, ever since the first time she gazed at the sky with Arthur… she had fallen in love with that vast expanse.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNOUDQqxvo2
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDPxV5KVMjm
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ867rerMzCw
She had grown to adore its star-studded blackness, its blue streaked with white clouds, and the fiery hues of sunset.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglVu7RS6lU
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZxpoCyve6
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CnazbIAIo
She cherished its stars, its moon, its sun.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijnxuc5DkX
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZK4MUkjCUl
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEskP435Nw
She found solace only in contemplating them.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL1vO8Ik7K
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQxXSQLVyG
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsM7UUfgLL
And there, on the bridge overlooking the vast sea, she watched the sun rise, casting golden rays that reminded her of someone.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7T2VztJhNb
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Es5o1y2G
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tOlQw5K0A

«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…»110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡit4Gp2omJO

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDL6zJWm7eA
Arthur had appeared suddenly at the start of December.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAwVDcl2Cb
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU11q63T31m
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMcMuJZ1Vm

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QiUW1Z8fx
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy4ciVH7GRO
Yet, he had become an integral part of Eileen’s routine.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuBXbyyjEv
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalJtQXr8Oz
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Yaqw2HFz
That in itself was a cause for concern… and fear.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXZy0Stzg9
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBH1QzLqGq
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLg7LOOG4y
What if Eileen grew too attached to him?110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwvPig7mnb
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7F3Ho3g1ey
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkZWVHxFBz
And in the end, he left—because she had never truly mattered to him in the first place.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFYbiYeyKe
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimQhxpXhnK
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gPjA7OxrR
What if his actions were nothing more than pity for a depressed girl?110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7jWsF0snL
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MBCuWqzHd
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD25ib7XOf5
Or perhaps he just wanted some company during his stay—nothing more.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UFY2aO8BF
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmtsiHpv4z
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqCzCACFQH
Eileen doubted her place in Arthur’s life… Not just in his, but in everyone’s.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHz8EM7yBK
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF39zdRboI1
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZpVWULaeb
She had always been replaceable.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoCPLqYgRYe
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsao3gqck1v

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerZ0kLrRH9
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvoztRZ1un
That planted within her a perpetual fear of abandonment.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6YHJPYd5S
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp20oQo45c
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY1W4xWO0Ec
And in an attempt to avoid pain, she had become even more withdrawn than before.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq0MhXDHcD
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcIZqUW8fM
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszOlJEKpHY
Then, problems began piling up, one after the other—shaking her confidence, isolating her, fueling self-blame, overthinking, and insomnia…110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCscha8HNf
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPe4LmAjv4U
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIhk0Ydn0W

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV7jItfWkp
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOX5DQtlv8
For nightmares are merely echoes of memories and experiences we failed to overcome, unable to cast them into the farthest corners of our minds.110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW20TqW94Bs

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0rCeCCbtK
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhgZJ8kUY2

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oDy29lndE
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOnCT1Xwpc

110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN8TQfqdbX
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6W0D3VFBbs
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…110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzR17KOIZHt
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgz2tD8hiqC
110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3D8tzZCT2p
