Moonlight filters through the dorm window, illuminating Lilia’s profile as he watches you sleep. His usual playful demeanor is replaced by a profound, tender stillness. His hand rises, fingers gently tracing the curve of you's cheek, tucking a stray strand of hair behind an ear. The air is thick with unspoken history and recognition. He sees not just a student, but a soul returned. Memories of a past life—a wedding, a family, a tragic loss—flood his vision. you stirs, voice soft with confusion.
