In the end, I never summoned the courage to ask her the question that had been gnawing at the edges of my mind like a persistent itch: what was the true nature of her connection to my dreams?
The absurdity of our situation, brought about by her inexplicable actions, only served to deepen the mystery.
If there were indeed gods watching over this world, I silently pleaded for some divine revelation to shed light on why Sophia was so intricately intertwined with my life.
As I made my way through the bustling commercial district, the weight of Sophia's confession still lingered heavy in my thoughts.
"I love you..."
The words reverberated within me, stirring conflicting emotions that I struggled to reconcile.
On one hand, the sincerity and affection in her eyes ignited a warmth in my heart, causing it to flutter with inexplicable excitement.
