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.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjkHC4dNmh

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. 120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bk30uHmDF

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 120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPB0qhFsau

The blaring of sirens and honking of cars grew louder, intensifying her headache and dizziness, as if she were trapped in a whirlwind. 120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhYWclWu7S

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:120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmZtmiFHUt

The grip on her neck tightened, suffocating her, her lungs desperate for air as she thrashed in a futile attempt to escape.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdzqu2uoXv
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl1YEAIo7M
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJjvdlGDCd

Really? She had only slept for half an hour!120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbeVS2ZYOE
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDnUUhrBoV
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡagdpx8kDm4
Yes, Eileen’s old and unwelcome friend had returned—insomnia—bringing along its usual gift: nightmares.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsGV1DxRDG
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgZVtcH95j
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukePsPbwZL
Since she met Arthur, her nightmares had lessened. She had even managed to sleep for a few hours sometimes.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPquOlR6do
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU2b5fAiuF7
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1igzwOE305
But as Arthur once said, he would be away for a while…120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nv06Hpqdt
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUkuCfgwoal
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡboNe2KjTeY
It had been three days, maybe more, since their last meeting.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4Jqg4sJxI
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBdtlvkyPx
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnxrbU9up8
And there was still about a week left until their agreed-upon reunion.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3O6HVZxOmq
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGOl1UHaAmS
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw4h1VM7MCp
Arthur had completely vanished, to the point where Eileen started doubting his existence—was he just an illusion? A figment of her imagination?120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNe8nqugXE

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…120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFsE0Rn7GQ
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJW6SKviDB
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOvBgQRd3l
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.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGeXN94C2r
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dA6VLob1N
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnu9vxGlQD
For in the absence of the sun, all thoughts turn dark and bleak.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdC4GF6nNb4
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJfCwni3TS
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKbEPEJYmQ
Stepping out of the bathroom, she was met with her reflection in the mirror.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFiXjeKHE7
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYjtHgQxYj
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oy4838Xhj
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.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2XZu8hIYD
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk10qO8xXp
Perhaps she was simply blind to the truth—that she was beautiful.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsAJ399COJ
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc3WRDHNcN
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaHGg7WTah
Exquisitely so, though hidden behind a veil of exhaustion and shadows of sleepless nights.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡocyxCMMq0l
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHpYnxDtMU
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVEHmJawcV
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.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Qs5HauErC
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltXlv2zMm0
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WN1zCqvhl
She finally turned away from her reflection, shifting her attention to the window, where she noticed the paper airplane resting nearby.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEbnvHayeN
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgV0VS51pd
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGJzh0fsUz
A slight smile appeared on her lips and her features softened with relief. 120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8OnZmzvMR
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8K9RdbpXU
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFzbQ3UglJ
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.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7h4heeFaZt
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjk6BbYeF75
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqKDKfe5Cz
After changing her clothes, she put on her coat and scarf—actually, Arthur’s scarf—choosing it over her own.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI1ZnSidBE
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdsMNq4iCI
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DFYRP6Zkd
Why?120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJDw2DyZRF
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp2n9vD6yMd
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHdryZzlU9v
Perhaps because she wanted to feel Arthur’s presence around her after his disappearance?120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0gSHktcY6
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7JqXtWsAE
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPwBOTcFanH
Or maybe because it was warmer?120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjfctQ6ZTW
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwJfgBMH1u
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VI7kQmln8
Or maybe… because she missed the owner of that scarf?120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFcDqWR6Av
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPSMScwHSg
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGUiY16loD
Who knew… No one, not even Eileen.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFKLE0x9uR
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKm1z5uWc7u
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6BbH2ClWu
Or perhaps she did know… but preferred to ignore the feelings that had been stirring within her lately.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5A7If29ki
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HPJWmD9j5
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnxYBKmlqT
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.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQzDVsN6zx
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBANFbmocz
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzUxuTwTqC
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.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPtKWNPRa3
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19Jv07dSRc
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKo2NFfXqI
With her usual slow, unchanging steps, and eyes embracing the sky, she wandered aimlessly before sunrise.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndQKtRFi1Z
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTUYHix7ec
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmftntrarVF
She used to never lift her gaze from the ground while walking—at any time, in any place.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdNxKSujVh
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJpM2o8kbX
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QrqgjLRi5
But now, ever since the first time she gazed at the sky with Arthur… she had fallen in love with that vast expanse.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05hHaCU1T9
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfL85lg1r8A
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzOHOFwocm
She had grown to adore its star-studded blackness, its blue streaked with white clouds, and the fiery hues of sunset.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3sHfyhCpX
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5l2WJBW7g1
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgi4N8apgi
She cherished its stars, its moon, its sun.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA0Z50uqhI
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoa8Emkr18B
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBIT2J1jDg
She found solace only in contemplating them.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsmbFqSH05
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhAIIzSzXZ
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdP57wW6lBh
And there, on the bridge overlooking the vast sea, she watched the sun rise, casting golden rays that reminded her of someone.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAas1muxVak
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQaXXLvilq
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnd9CkK33ua
She could almost see Arthur’s silhouette watching it with her.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsAuJuaMSH

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJGhPe5Wwu
«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…»120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP491dRPZsp
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgwF4xAl39Z
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1CN9pnzSg
Arthur had appeared suddenly at the start of December.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkforQp5dxb
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMic4H2d68R
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnU0ukUk42T

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZb3eIfwLyL
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxs0EBAIW6
Yet, he had become an integral part of Eileen’s routine.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdEXvxLBWX
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6E1TzKKLBK
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5enNnl71KN
That in itself was a cause for concern… and fear.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzocaY9TQmP
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ201GAVC0jm
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpYxBgk5lT
What if Eileen grew too attached to him?120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcllh01KrPL
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgiUbPmDvm
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEvNIo5EZ6
And in the end, he left—because she had never truly mattered to him in the first place.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEGuA70p2v
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7msnUbqv3p
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcFFkG0L0t
What if his actions were nothing more than pity for a depressed girl?120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmJPTaka7H
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIWaFFg1Ue
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUAQq5Ktem
Or perhaps he just wanted some company during his stay—nothing more.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7M2Bfb2ql
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3SK6VGRzF
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYWPYJjlRD
Eileen doubted her place in Arthur’s life… Not just in his, but in everyone’s.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YkKgEnNNq
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CIIycnJcK
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6t5I2KgTf
She had always been replaceable.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhoz9fG1jD6
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ89Jtkxf2z
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwidIrlxEa

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxVnsGQbNJV
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWFrTDRA7Z
That planted within her a perpetual fear of abandonment.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQN4vlUtcXa
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE62sHg7av
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6O83aUxoB
And in an attempt to avoid pain, she had become even more withdrawn than before.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0HyysqiqH
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLQLwqyzaE
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2X4Id2ILiK
Then, problems began piling up, one after the other—shaking her confidence, isolating her, fueling self-blame, overthinking, and insomnia…120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauwP8rDKHv
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlMnfXwGFK
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJg9BcQ7pH
All shaping her into the person she was now.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBwBedruDU
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs620FiPhKN
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsRvNQOPMB
She still believed she didn’t deserve love.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexIK0V2ulY
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC3Gzwx5YY
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLb86dXHqg

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSBPpzTb5I
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsfEAhLbsK
Memories, old events—still shackled to her.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHHjV1lGI6
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAu9OoKv7E
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8jvtJHYId
For nightmares are merely echoes of memories and experiences we failed to overcome, unable to cast them into the farthest corners of our minds.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuztOCVdyK9
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1YyLYxaWB
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu7Cho1AFj

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUu7gARwV1

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKOAGwLCnL
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36qzK8GNKM
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.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTG3CbqZQS5

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPXarPc0im
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5zx9UgRVs
She dressed well—or at least, she tried to look presentable.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9sooGFC35
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWAiI3wAZ8
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbFPTUEIxB
Standing beneath the streetlight where she always met Arthur, she counted the minutes and seconds.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU15cTeEvHy

Doubt gnawed at her once more.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ3KQoMP1w
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnYKTxvjFy
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjQseOerh99
Why would Arthur leave his friends and family just to wander around with her?120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡisWtowG7tB
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAb3peqS5bS
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaDOTr1mUM
With his bright personality and handsome face, she was sure he was quite popular.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzAGvdB4Kn
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9GvgsdQTV
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7zUA1ryWM
Meanwhile, Eileen… Well, she didn’t want to start another self-loathing spiral.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwnEA5gEfO
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbPuPv3glU
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoa5k1LviE
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…120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYM7MeC465p
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfCxn2uTG0
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUW06dYVLy
She shut her eyes tightly, covering her ears, as a cacophony of intrusive thoughts and noise swelled in her head.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XOlO8h4Vf

120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsO8WXH8N73

A hand rested on her shoulder.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdLtco11Cs

And as always, in Arthur’s presence, all those thoughts and voices fell silent, granting her a few minutes of peace.120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIq5jvlcfu
120Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGVG2BcXjA
