Jude saw something in his memories. As Jude stood on the shore, watching the waves crash against the rocks, a rush of memories flooded his mind. He recalled the day he said his goodbyes to Eva, his beloved, before tossing the can into the vast expanse of the ocean. It was like a ritual. They had shared everything, a symbol of their bond and shared experiences, the memories started to shatter.
But what struck Jude most was the realization that his memories of Eva were now fragmented, like scattered puzzle pieces. He struggled to grasp certain moments, as if they had been delicately erased from his mind.
Eva had made a choice, one that both pained and perplexed him. She had taken with her the memories of their time together, a selfless act designed to spare Jude from the heartache of missing her.
