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.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKc04V9CuA

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. 197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDWwBEzJfvL

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 197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtmE0FcVeA

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:197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQTAtI6wTd

The grip on her neck tightened, suffocating her, her lungs desperate for air as she thrashed in a futile attempt to escape.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN6Jd6ZSYwO
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2eWWpbiYRt

Really? She had only slept for half an hour!197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XxSEpvsUJ
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTJusfVpDT
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb2i96AI2C
Yes, Eileen’s old and unwelcome friend had returned—insomnia—bringing along its usual gift: nightmares.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGanyKnMVAI
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8syBTUKljI
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUIIjw5pqD
Since she met Arthur, her nightmares had lessened. She had even managed to sleep for a few hours sometimes.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhy934sDhgT
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyJEh9mVRE
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLbq23gcsf
But as Arthur once said, he would be away for a while…197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyYllnqTEv
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdqZMOs5bn
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rKkjB3koD
It had been three days, maybe more, since their last meeting.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSchiaNjbR2
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV1tywIVbT
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK7tK4WDXn
And there was still about a week left until their agreed-upon reunion.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjhGWqkgcp
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFj7p7uZqWf
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs37pznlKAE
Arthur had completely vanished, to the point where Eileen started doubting his existence—was he just an illusion? A figment of her imagination?197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltATmkvHFt

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…197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tj8BtfxNV
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5IuD3aDIq
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLujh558Kw
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.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGoJ9t9O33
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAgmMszVvb
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCan8C6LwH
For in the absence of the sun, all thoughts turn dark and bleak.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZEIZ5CGxbQ
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkAFQswl6J5
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcH3vTaBaS
Stepping out of the bathroom, she was met with her reflection in the mirror.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZes9XoHkZ
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdz8yK2kR7
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLrqaPhGSW
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.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTDOPw6cVv
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHgIAOlNmI
Perhaps she was simply blind to the truth—that she was beautiful.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMHFxu3DER9
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdSf52B51B
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgm9yzTf8hX
Exquisitely so, though hidden behind a veil of exhaustion and shadows of sleepless nights.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeSVHx9AHw
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPixOWLBvEw
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDajBMkm1k
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.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBBDwXVlez
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq83AT0MRj
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkrb3AsCs2
She finally turned away from her reflection, shifting her attention to the window, where she noticed the paper airplane resting nearby.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp0X5UJuBg
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuRPuHhIGc
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZyLTWDAkQ

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXrXBCJ07Xj
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3kv18EwtJ
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.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepErJH9AxZ
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ZL1z2784x
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqETaYEybFw
After changing her clothes, she put on her coat and scarf—actually, Arthur’s scarf—choosing it over her own.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZgaBZJzjZ
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3gCX4rQ3V
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tGm9qN4Aj
Why?197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3WkmbRMkc
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPinGQCBbl
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lt1eb7zKS
Perhaps because she wanted to feel Arthur’s presence around her after his disappearance?197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvgZhjcweL
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkCl9VWXGk
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO8co3OECk
Or maybe because it was warmer?197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zvG6PP2kP
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uX1QIGjoi
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWJTRCSNrd
Or maybe… because she missed the owner of that scarf?197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PE13IvPr7
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kA8JXk10O
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡne5DvQrlmi
Who knew… No one, not even Eileen.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEDjfHtcplq
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiO36X1wJob
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TyKs6R9jk
Or perhaps she did know… but preferred to ignore the feelings that had been stirring within her lately.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VftQWNheW
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzT11NhhswA
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27svEdahiX
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.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgn1YIHjwHj
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xOrVY07lX
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq2Tp8J1Hh
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.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkQqX8RgIV
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRHlbJf78r
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSlIejbPy8
With her usual slow, unchanging steps, and eyes embracing the sky, she wandered aimlessly before sunrise.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbzOVXHQxm
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwd1bII8DJh
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeNFdZLbE5

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqsvLJuzJ7
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtCZVmgTbW
But now, ever since the first time she gazed at the sky with Arthur… she had fallen in love with that vast expanse.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtk9teJ0qR
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpv3dTDNhq
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCbEPGcPU2
She had grown to adore its star-studded blackness, its blue streaked with white clouds, and the fiery hues of sunset.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AqLM9AQ0o
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7lvCa0QRxe
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX0GpZP2J3

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWsQLrxWf0
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdH77vYeKK
She found solace only in contemplating them.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yv4oE7OMd
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZrpf5GZvH
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsGA4F0sWY
And there, on the bridge overlooking the vast sea, she watched the sun rise, casting golden rays that reminded her of someone.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU3wkmPNgq
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Auj9vAV4U
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64oyr1ZJun

«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…»197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nNcZxH404
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CV26YKBZx
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh76s8TzEZx

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzKhJFMC9LN
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8n8Lg7L9y

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXsWaGvDuc
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZarXbORtg
That in itself was a cause for concern… and fear.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DZJKsLY8O
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zr0pXlwrG
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFr508k3W88
What if Eileen grew too attached to him?197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5D34VrgnY
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6eHr9ENa3
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpU6rFKTY3
And in the end, he left—because she had never truly mattered to him in the first place.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC6FPkByrS0
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWryzFm6nA
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCdBemOvnW
What if his actions were nothing more than pity for a depressed girl?197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4k2bqjxoV
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UiqWObyel
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROOZ8krefn
Or perhaps he just wanted some company during his stay—nothing more.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4rrIZ6Gds
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxmcshWaVA
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjmYSgGwGX
Eileen doubted her place in Arthur’s life… Not just in his, but in everyone’s.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9S8VWFLVcQ
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ3vZU4Nrur
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdqmoUIX2A

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryMoFXo0f5
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXa6uIgFjwh
That planted within her a perpetual fear of abandonment.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkm0AMGMS0
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDwqYrjFEJ
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC25m0RyNdx
And in an attempt to avoid pain, she had become even more withdrawn than before.197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT0dvpavQ3
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlOIXnz16D
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGx6KIRl3XX
Then, problems began piling up, one after the other—shaking her confidence, isolating her, fueling self-blame, overthinking, and insomnia…197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioDvIx7Wzb
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNThSm4sYf
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjflrxl9xR

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JCnAuB7oO

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtGj2CWj7q
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7JMR18xMC

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRVjfW9QDF
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTdH9IMzXh

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mKGLMddeI
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxuoneCAT4

197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyWohmin4T
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRilTjMFriB
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…197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfD1iQkire
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhBsGJPeJF
197Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8OWwqsS3P
