With my last strength, I whisper, “I hope that if there is an afterlife, I never fall in love again…” Two bodies lie slumped, a man and a woman, trapped in a tragic fate.

It is a burden both solemn and vast, to touch the fragile balance between presence and absence. And yet, in every fracture, in every final note, there lies the faintest whisper of something waiting to begin— a truth that can only bloom from the ashes of its ending.
