The scene shows a pink sky, filled with clouds. The sky appears to fade as the sun approaches sunset. On the side of the beach, a few stones leading to the end of the road. A girl stands there, next to her is a huge stone. She stands in front of the pale pink sea, looking to her left, toward the stone on which she was laying Some of her things: She is wearing a white, pink dress that is short in the front and long in the back, showing her collarbone. Her black hair is long. She looks towards the stone and sees a beautiful bright blue butterfly. She smiles happily and extends her hand in front of her, "I have to take a picture of myself to remember this beautiful moment. Never seen such a butterfly.."
She turned around and walked her hands in the air, until something like a mirror appeared. She took a few steps back to show the sky and the sea in her image, but suddenly she started to retreat further and further... No matter how much she swam forward... all that happened was that she moved back with the waves, but she did not scream. she heard from the shore. The voice of her family was calling for her, but all the voices were completely distracted. The sun was setting, and so was her life. she did not sink, but continued to be pulled back helplessly, and this was worse than drowning, because she knew. She can never come home.
Tears fell down her cheeks, she was frightened and felt the horror of the situation. And the sorrow that she lives among the waves, soon, night will fall... but she is alone in the depth of the sea, what if she had never drowned? What if she had to choose death? What if she waited a thousand years and no ship crossed? What if she died alone?
Until she finally swam forward, it seemed that she was able to move forward anywhere, as long as it was not the shore she came from..
She climbed onto the stones surrounding a wall. She looked and found some people sitting. The sun was setting. She said, "I'm lost. Can I have a lantern, please?"
They looked at her, even though she looked pitiful, like a wet, homeless dog without a home, and yet they did not seem interested, as if they were used to this. One of them said, "Of course." And so she did not say much, continuing on her unknown path. Have She reached the Shore? Or lived her whole life among the waves? Did that Shore became just a memory from the past?
Her faint voice can be heard on the horizon, as if she had left a message behind her... the only thing that had not been washed away by the waves...
''I Saw The Sea Today, And one step in it made me lose my way, my life... it toke me far away with it, and i don't think i ever made it back home... Lost forever. In the Sea..
I didn't know which way was the way to my shore. Left of right? And the sky was turning black, i didn't ask for help, i didn't get scared, hated that i Left, but yet i swam.. even if i swam for a shore that I didn't ever belong.. better than forever be here.
I Said, ''give me your lantern, so i can make it home.''
''don't forget to call my home, if i didn't make it home.'' I said as I disappeared into the waves, fighting my fear.

(Shushin residence)
Shuxin opened her eyes. She did not move. At first, tears began to fall from her eyes. Then she began to cry more forcefully. She did not scream, and no sound was heard from her, but her breathing was becoming more difficult.
There was a shadow outside her room. The door opened gently. Tian Yang stood there. pretty sure that what he heard was actually her crying, and not just a misunderstanding.
He stood in front of the door, his eyes hurt, and his heart hurt for her. He moved forward gently, with soft steps on the ground, fearing that he would hurt her pain and increase it. She put her hands on her eyes to cover her tears, while her mouth was trembling.
He sat on the edge of the bed and gently tapped her foot, wanting her to cry all her tears, hoping that this would solve even a little of her pain.
But after a while, he could not bear to see her like this. He approached her and raised her body. Her face was looking down, while tears fell into her lap, her cheeks were all wet with tears. That look in his eyes was not a look of pity, but rather a look of pain, pain deeper than it could be. For words to describe,
He just kept looking at her, then he hugged her, one hand around her waist, and his other hand on her hair. He said in a gentle and affectionate voice, "It's okay."
Shushin was still in her place, then she wrapped her hands around his neck and continued to cry more. He held her tighter, as if they had become one body. She whispered between her tears, "I can't stop.. crying..."
He whispered gently, "No one told you not to shed tears.. Shushin..."
"Don't call my name."
"What?" he whispered
She moved her head away from his shoulder, her hands still around his neck, and looked into his eyes, "Just that.. I never felt a sense of belonging to my name. I felt like he was the one who owned me, and I was not the one who owned him. Tian Yang.. How is it possible for me not to feel any sense of belonging to anything? How can I? Is it possible that nothing is mine except those dreams? How is it possible that even my dreams are cruel?"
He looked at her sadly, "I don't know about the world, or your name, but I definitely know something you have..."
"I, I definitely belong to you."
"Even if it was a lie, it seems like a beautiful lie tonight."
He shook his head, "No...it was not a lie. From the first moment, I fell in love with you, and I knew it. I told myself that I would not be able to live a single second, without you."
She smiled while shedding tears, "Shushin, you are my life, you are my hope, I do not know how it is possible to love someone with such a degree of madness, but I.. I adore you..."
She smiled tenderly, and placed her hand on his cheek gently, "Thank you.."
closed his eyes, placed both hands on her cheeks, He kissed her forehead. Her eyes widened in shock. His warm and gentle touch drew her attention immediately, making her heart skip a beat. She felt a sense of comfort and safety in his presence, That silent moment remained for a while.
He pulled away slowly, He seemed shy, "Sorry.. you said thank you.. so.. I thought you would thank me in a different way..."
"You should not take advantage of a sad woman."
He smiled, "Really? But you are my woman."
Shushin looked away, "I didn't say I was."
He suddenly pulled her by her waist, "Really?"
Both hands were on his chest, trapped with no escape. She smiled shyly, "Whatever... it's late, let me go."
He frowned, "Hmm."
"What, little kitten?"
He let out a laugh in shock, "Huh? A kitten? Me?"
She nodded, he smiled, "Hmm, it's hard for me to get angry since you're saying this with a serious face..."
"I wish the sun wouldn't rise, can't I be stuck in this moment forever?" he said.
"We still have a vast tomorrow ahead of us."
"It's like you have a way with words" Tian Yang smiles.
"You are right, I am glad that we are together in tomorrow. We can make everyday become one big memory and make our time together feel endless
Even if the tomorrow does come, I want us to remember this moment"
Shushin looked at him questioningly, then nodded.
"I want to hold this moment in my heart forever, can I count on you?"
Shushin smiled as she played with his hair with her hands, "Hmm, I will leave far away one day... What will you do, when I disappear?"
"Why would you say that? Why would you disappear?"
Shushin sighed, and looked out the window next to them, "Bloody Moon..."
She said to herself and then replied to Tian Yang, "I can't promise you that I won't break your heart, I might even shatter it.. If I do in the end, please don't hate me so much..."
"Even if I die, Shushen, I can't forget you, I can't hate you, you're buried in my blood."
"That dream... seemed completely real, as if I had lived it before. For some reason, it seemed familiar. It made me feel nostalgic, lured me... and then completely destroyed me. What did I do, to have dreams like that?... Or were they nightmares? I no longer differentiate between them."
Shushin wondered to herself..
