Chapter 5 - Defying Fate

In a harsh reality defined by love's presence, a young girl grapples with profound loss. Abandoned by a world steeped in ingratitude, she loses both her parents and falls prey to illness. Her tenacity for life burns bright, despite her fragile temperament. Bereft of familial care, she contemplates her worth, questioning whether her existence holds any value. Once cherished, now discarded.

Amidst her despair, a glimmer of hope emerges. She yearns for a companion to share her laughter, tears, and every emotion in between. Yet, the void remains, unfulfilled. With her health deteriorating, she musters the last fragments of her strength, ready to embrace the unknown. As her final breath escapes her, her eyes flutter shut.

Then, in an unexpected twist, she awakens. A figure stands at her bedside, hand extended in a gesture of unwavering support. His hair a familiar sight, he's the companion from her school days, the one who shared fragments of his life with her. Yet, he had never been there for her entirely. Now, his presence defies societal constraints. Disregarding judgment, he escorts her to the hospital, covering her medical expenses. His intention is clear: he wants her to survive, to endure. But this time, not alone.
