CHAPTER FOUR : The Dream He Shouldn’t Remember
Daniel couldn’t sleep.
There was a heaviness in his chest, like a name he couldn’t pronounce pressing against his ribs. He tossed under the thin sheets of his small apartment, the rain still tapping on his windows like it carried secrets.
Then came the dream.
He stood in a field of white flowers under a golden sky, barefoot and bleeding.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ158k7oMYij
Across from him stood her.
Not the woman from the café.
No—this Lilith was in full light, her wings unfurled in brilliant flame, her eyes glowing like suns that knew too much.
But her face… it was the same.
“Why did you do it?” he asked in the dream.
She didn’t cry. She never cried.
“Because I loved you.”
And just like that, he fell—backward, endlessly, like he’d been thrown from the heavens themselves.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtK5Hd8BMF
And Lilith?
She was left reaching after him, screaming without sound, her wings turning black.
Daniel woke up gasping.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBp9CrgCMM
His shirt clung to him, soaked with sweat.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbW3b8L9cuo
His fingers trembled.
And her name was on his lips.
"Lilith..."
Elsewhere, on the same rooftop where she watched him before, Lilith clutched her chest.
She felt it.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjgnJ7TLAZ
That surge in his soul.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrFgBijxJ10
That whisper of memory trying to surface.
That wasn’t supposed to happen.
The curse was clear—each reincarnation should begin clean. Unknowing.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MERf4fAF2
He shouldn’t remember her. Not even in dreams.
Which meant something was changing.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2ALoVYh0V
Something dangerous.
She closed her eyes, willing herself not to feel.
But it was too late.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePwi5Q3HQr
His soul remembered hers.
And the universe never forgets a love it once punished.
