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.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJn19wTfuh

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. 215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN43jymXMEh

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 215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlDpFKBu02

The blaring of sirens and honking of cars grew louder, intensifying her headache and dizziness, as if she were trapped in a whirlwind. 215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKN5BUhAWv

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:215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbIxmOAc4T

The grip on her neck tightened, suffocating her, her lungs desperate for air as she thrashed in a futile attempt to escape.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOW5mmq4j2D
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMiDr2g0lw

Really? She had only slept for half an hour!215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYKk9dhbnh
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJlyXqmNMWn
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxoEgVEvau
Yes, Eileen’s old and unwelcome friend had returned—insomnia—bringing along its usual gift: nightmares.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvECF0ADjs
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoHoGVDjoT
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08A6iwFgUn
Since she met Arthur, her nightmares had lessened. She had even managed to sleep for a few hours sometimes.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡus2gUMGCWZ
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3c5G9vTan
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuxKtakjI5
But as Arthur once said, he would be away for a while…215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnvdAmYhmP
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXxZp8eD0G
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFeIPerCMGi
It had been three days, maybe more, since their last meeting.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz8krH7Kn9
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI4fJ2m2eX
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwknJT4UVIq
And there was still about a week left until their agreed-upon reunion.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCnhjdmjI5
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtF6bmsjx4
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwAeHC615za
Arthur had completely vanished, to the point where Eileen started doubting his existence—was he just an illusion? A figment of her imagination?215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFzyfEULrj

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…215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxY52GCaVL
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgASh0RdwQL
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnWcHfSSkY
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.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDS5CcMI1pw
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI9eOQGdqm
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJDlAxWe5Q
For in the absence of the sun, all thoughts turn dark and bleak.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJIclCWzDg
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgxBbB9dSG
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfbvWWUS6l
Stepping out of the bathroom, she was met with her reflection in the mirror.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FixASsQM6
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVx8JDhqxAg
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHvyZDGyikT
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.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Rf0oaW4ZM
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWPN0Cuape
Perhaps she was simply blind to the truth—that she was beautiful.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjVsOBcaLl
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeV91WCziLX
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6e2S2czMSI
Exquisitely so, though hidden behind a veil of exhaustion and shadows of sleepless nights.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWisFds2HIO
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74FXUgQams
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ENg6iNYuz
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.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwT3olwY4Se
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabniwBclD3
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ptE7OnWfi
She finally turned away from her reflection, shifting her attention to the window, where she noticed the paper airplane resting nearby.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZliwpWMhDz
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iDVLM1XEh
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd6GfJpquVC

215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81Bl7f32j3
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGUlsmrjbFp
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.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85ZMfEm13V
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TtNUGPIzR
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDPLmCu4pw
After changing her clothes, she put on her coat and scarf—actually, Arthur’s scarf—choosing it over her own.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdR9ZSoJs6
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeNjj5ChmT
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1m67A0hIwW
Why?215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tcXZvsyJB
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzPkukJtqO
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoGvVriW6P
Perhaps because she wanted to feel Arthur’s presence around her after his disappearance?215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVB7XY5vwze
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1FgP78dA5O
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwA4BuQmk4
Or maybe because it was warmer?215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzY1Lg2vg40
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhVDxbF1wm
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ4Tv4dYg8
Or maybe… because she missed the owner of that scarf?215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIshpq4Yvz5
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9E5p44IxPq
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwE5BlviBhZ
Who knew… No one, not even Eileen.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwN7e8PTvNs
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pZvBhq31O
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWVmD0Gais
Or perhaps she did know… but preferred to ignore the feelings that had been stirring within her lately.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oF6sVF6R1
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhy5BHIG3F
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAqVMbkY2R
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.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6QUX8dvm3I
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmxL1YkeU0
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzOCQzE6ex
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.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6vlXf7tW9
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL57N6Zxo5
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8k4hRQLqk
With her usual slow, unchanging steps, and eyes embracing the sky, she wandered aimlessly before sunrise.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiilI3jTkhn
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mpqikjZt2
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXz6djjjVw
She used to never lift her gaze from the ground while walking—at any time, in any place.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCQKVze4Fz
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAk5oz4lDk0
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz1qNbWOPEa
But now, ever since the first time she gazed at the sky with Arthur… she had fallen in love with that vast expanse.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnQq1Zw8r5
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavjPUTfW9w
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZpSHWlBLs
She had grown to adore its star-studded blackness, its blue streaked with white clouds, and the fiery hues of sunset.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkiCyxGuB3
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6zeElcVsll
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUt3gTleRQq
She cherished its stars, its moon, its sun.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMAtCJOWlo
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqb8qGd0C0r
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmNhoB5mbM
She found solace only in contemplating them.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcGtX0ztMC
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkH9fcdQ4L7
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFSTYXtp5Y
And there, on the bridge overlooking the vast sea, she watched the sun rise, casting golden rays that reminded her of someone.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjAbnM7uCM5
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo25egFHCuL
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJiHkdxmui
She could almost see Arthur’s silhouette watching it with her.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Pq7LZwOcH

«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…»215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsWzZfdWe3
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmjSH0OJRe
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVwKk7fdV0
Arthur had appeared suddenly at the start of December.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhZ4OZLYL1
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aQIGmnoHm
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwirM9Ec1lq

215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOXkU3sXsR
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI8paG1fV5
Yet, he had become an integral part of Eileen’s routine.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIiOGAHHJe
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PWXs6Y33h
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4YBR178jy
That in itself was a cause for concern… and fear.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaOnJDkZCu
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPXnnFfoZm
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxztMWLI7k
What if Eileen grew too attached to him?215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPBUlKpJpZ
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJwyKd4ZP2
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ53azJbFGe
And in the end, he left—because she had never truly mattered to him in the first place.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcexIvtQaOa
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0fwFrbtwu
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxuIdDuuJO
What if his actions were nothing more than pity for a depressed girl?215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuOP6lOWXH
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCh11d7cqDw
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VqwEBWkNr
Or perhaps he just wanted some company during his stay—nothing more.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglsl4WQArW
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PrCuPFEjp
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2WroTyly2
Eileen doubted her place in Arthur’s life… Not just in his, but in everyone’s.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpPcW2EsSq
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYgLNX8oc1
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxBxdCRDrF
She had always been replaceable.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPb2LuiBv1
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVpIuBZnFo
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vvjNHRp3a
She had never been anyone’s number one.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoMO1e2pTl
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoP5e1oO4Y
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DsSTmqXDR
That planted within her a perpetual fear of abandonment.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRkKIxUCOH
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPKWsszZQr
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlP319NkkY3
And in an attempt to avoid pain, she had become even more withdrawn than before.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeIjKY11fx
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1g2ZlAti6
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPyq3vIfAz
Then, problems began piling up, one after the other—shaking her confidence, isolating her, fueling self-blame, overthinking, and insomnia…215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM9y3MQSDR
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGuh0UuXXE
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lMaghGBUq

215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmnkKizCKQ
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mjSuv0oPy

215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaxmq1lBZB
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC1pLjCFzw
That she was a curse to everyone around her.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXf9JRfV9D
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1Urrg8OWU
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qs7Zx2Lv9

215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbUlCK5fu8
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlbiuWiOio
For nightmares are merely echoes of memories and experiences we failed to overcome, unable to cast them into the farthest corners of our minds.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIDXRNgAMD
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVsgnLHVrl
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvAqTD7hdlZ

215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzqqmU84DF
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROazl4KJaT

215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa4IqCvxKS3

215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPre0cgF848
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM62F2gJzuO
Standing beneath the streetlight where she always met Arthur, she counted the minutes and seconds.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBh6D3zK4WV

Doubt gnawed at her once more.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIsIacDE9i
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHjRwPBWr6
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7vVwwE1cs
Why would Arthur leave his friends and family just to wander around with her?215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZ779V2miS
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36ba9dVmzx
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlBwen4Dy7
With his bright personality and handsome face, she was sure he was quite popular.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB8oM8gQV4P
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmvLf9BFe4
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8tU2kC4wI

215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ80yx0Z03J
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFw50LOikp
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…215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT51oQUfNqF
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdX95wmFlg
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOltISr4rM
She shut her eyes tightly, covering her ears, as a cacophony of intrusive thoughts and noise swelled in her head.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJDVO68J6f

215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0t3KRqbTw

A hand rested on her shoulder.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xtoojeNY3
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqpi3p3E88

And as always, in Arthur’s presence, all those thoughts and voices fell silent, granting her a few minutes of peace.215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmNkKUOnYT
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHZEW2i6Ng
