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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5SXUnUhTE

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. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztSo7TsYCP

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 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWTOxox9HW

The blaring of sirens and honking of cars grew louder, intensifying her headache and dizziness, as if she were trapped in a whirlwind. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzmy4QyQnW

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:192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyKebfbPRc

The grip on her neck tightened, suffocating her, her lungs desperate for air as she thrashed in a futile attempt to escape.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmFTyIBKRQ
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkitPXpyeDF
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtgehGcZxJ
She gasped awake, filling her lungs with air, drenched in sweat, leaving damp imprints on the bedsheet.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP9g1XVBumZ

Really? She had only slept for half an hour!192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu1IBuCI5r
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYNlcxffVT
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Udrjdd6Jm
Yes, Eileen’s old and unwelcome friend had returned—insomnia—bringing along its usual gift: nightmares.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfX6bez2qcr
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc4bmjc2dd
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5i7IzfbeQ0
Since she met Arthur, her nightmares had lessened. She had even managed to sleep for a few hours sometimes.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTPfVgwPJx
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZR4YYAVK1
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvkloyv1kP
But as Arthur once said, he would be away for a while…192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoe0xKTflD
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r67zjW1tJ
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNaqsDT8mw
It had been three days, maybe more, since their last meeting.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUfSE5ERoc
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWmFCIjcaA
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUFUnRGEVon
And there was still about a week left until their agreed-upon reunion.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmuylmaaiZ
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKV3Z5prosL
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCw4stLuDg
Arthur had completely vanished, to the point where Eileen started doubting his existence—was he just an illusion? A figment of her imagination?192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQbMOH43gO

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…192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFTUHBllzC
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNKf0ykyI2
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYK33nBwohW
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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPXIGpJY6p
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5ynrXSGAh
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFB5lLu6Xws
For in the absence of the sun, all thoughts turn dark and bleak.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iSjsaux6J
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSoaaPq3Nx
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKeFCVWvxB
Stepping out of the bathroom, she was met with her reflection in the mirror.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrIc7X6b8J
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FWOqbp1PY
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQHAApWj5D
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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmnkD088x4
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKJC7LORrj
Perhaps she was simply blind to the truth—that she was beautiful.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7O9WJwZqy5
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMtwlgSPMV
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw9hSFTaUD
Exquisitely so, though hidden behind a veil of exhaustion and shadows of sleepless nights.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Nvu1amWqQ
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITRUHIrBvG
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsydcMqBl8
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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxwFBde7sF
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF1fxsehVV
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXSCPLCsht
She finally turned away from her reflection, shifting her attention to the window, where she noticed the paper airplane resting nearby.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd311EgO1U7
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKu8SXmRggO
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthZpGRsoRA
A slight smile appeared on her lips and her features softened with relief. 192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUybYFBJTc
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCq2lpWWoK
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGw46TzLjW
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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdihucI58DN
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvF1VX1nBO7
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZlCq3I1m8
After changing her clothes, she put on her coat and scarf—actually, Arthur’s scarf—choosing it over her own.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmpkLmMjO4
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfWxdtlArM
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbxXlYQVAsA
Why?192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWRuBoWWCq
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMWLhZPKJnU
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfKOsKFkNG
Perhaps because she wanted to feel Arthur’s presence around her after his disappearance?192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡug3oa4cRec
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhMIdi1YSG
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTnoe5LvGL
Or maybe because it was warmer?192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUQ5d7IP4O
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJERBIUwO2
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmemjGT990
Or maybe… because she missed the owner of that scarf?192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBpEKp2fdr
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYWzaUbQPj
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjw08MoDlz
Who knew… No one, not even Eileen.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlJWssA4Zx
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4mPlHVXuU
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuatxPhNwl
Or perhaps she did know… but preferred to ignore the feelings that had been stirring within her lately.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtfquFEQAU
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO65F0a1jW3
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9132ZfgY7P
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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxW4XPQcmz
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1xtYcQznt
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDE96QWLLsF
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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS39X4jYNJj
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk3wwaASak
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxDKp8ZhriA
With her usual slow, unchanging steps, and eyes embracing the sky, she wandered aimlessly before sunrise.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95IofpRmg9
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvucK4DSIr
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqscbxUjJ58
She used to never lift her gaze from the ground while walking—at any time, in any place.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKpBTGpQXE
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tCES74UcQ
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Ll9pTXUGW
But now, ever since the first time she gazed at the sky with Arthur… she had fallen in love with that vast expanse.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpcRy8few3
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZW2hK5ZET
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsrb0GR87Ns
She had grown to adore its star-studded blackness, its blue streaked with white clouds, and the fiery hues of sunset.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYe7boaXR7
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbjDWfDYUpO
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8I8lzmu29
She cherished its stars, its moon, its sun.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNeB6qzezn
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1aes6uMA2
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcej0Xf1fh
She found solace only in contemplating them.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFE3PNNfyid
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaHDpAEpsK
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLwrBNAm3Z
And there, on the bridge overlooking the vast sea, she watched the sun rise, casting golden rays that reminded her of someone.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbs4bI4pcNr
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwfJ6fHE5Y
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5ThYJEPHF
She could almost see Arthur’s silhouette watching it with her.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTImjqYu5A

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPWnHh9lF5
«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…»192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwA0TFATsIH
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpp5xZ64T8
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRI6wQEpADv
Arthur had appeared suddenly at the start of December.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nwOdgo0IC
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFMHGGvn8A
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSoJstr1nkV

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7fjv05qKh
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDCBM5TVEU
Yet, he had become an integral part of Eileen’s routine.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9Aevtuspx
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNv71K58oC
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJMoNqynhw
That in itself was a cause for concern… and fear.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcxO9FAvXa
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdpUu8b8EB
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FNO7i07n2
What if Eileen grew too attached to him?192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCY5CjmZ9S4
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowprv6cbLt
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3uwSZV3nnv
And in the end, he left—because she had never truly mattered to him in the first place.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarGpvFXOQs
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTEI760zoU
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU5UsaJ07h
What if his actions were nothing more than pity for a depressed girl?192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqRG0u119z
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLRcWypTVt
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUocRAJsLVS
Or perhaps he just wanted some company during his stay—nothing more.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0AdU1jrvF
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjBV086yOnz
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA9EVUvPfx
Eileen doubted her place in Arthur’s life… Not just in his, but in everyone’s.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuue2DlUbb
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPxz2X5YPj
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxXSCmkvKb
She had always been replaceable.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0WFUlZR0S
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcsEy7gEeQ
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkETKzjWtiz
She had never been anyone’s number one.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5LIfQdkWsc
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCKeCrF1No6
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQVlgkpSsZ
That planted within her a perpetual fear of abandonment.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarHkKvx5qV
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6QPJvIBGx
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXfwqcp4ax
And in an attempt to avoid pain, she had become even more withdrawn than before.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslyqxDIvh1
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWLqAVimMr
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpE7FAONHt0
Then, problems began piling up, one after the other—shaking her confidence, isolating her, fueling self-blame, overthinking, and insomnia…192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsapth9pjCf
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknIq2GTtH2
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6KacnI5ADq

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwRzapX8jC
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOBJUeimoj

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCKJNnvGqx
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhuWRuft0gp

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn8kuK4ITN
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3k31L6P3jj

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWrvd6tZaW
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HIrX24G6n
For nightmares are merely echoes of memories and experiences we failed to overcome, unable to cast them into the farthest corners of our minds.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8rMawJNdk
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06rDMu0mHn

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31Gz8zvfqG
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO2hAE9Ac6
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.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F92zR2MY3

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCNG4GKjONQ

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSUMzRw0ZA
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGPjQhml72
Why would Arthur leave his friends and family just to wander around with her?192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrTJmuxiYf
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmFZq5S1AY
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNzvfLVn04
With his bright personality and handsome face, she was sure he was quite popular.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUuXV4fYpfr
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHccD0PKhHH
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1raSt4JjW
Meanwhile, Eileen… Well, she didn’t want to start another self-loathing spiral.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXR1LPBcg2t
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOx5lHZA8G
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdPlOwi3lz
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…192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA207HqTRwj
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqjTehsz9B
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5YQ8rpHGG
She shut her eyes tightly, covering her ears, as a cacophony of intrusive thoughts and noise swelled in her head.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXw0wT9GA2s

192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoxJtDYiprN

A hand rested on her shoulder.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbq0nQVqQR
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2I8FkLRmfx

And as always, in Arthur’s presence, all those thoughts and voices fell silent, granting her a few minutes of peace.192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Cceq9m95V
192Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqHN7IBwWl
