The night was unusually quiet.
A crimson moon hung in the sky, casting an eerie glow over the still waters below. The wind whispered softly, carrying with it a sense of sorrow that lingered in the air.
Yue Ling stood at the edge of the river, her eyes trembling as she stared into the dark water.
Tears streamed down her face.
"…Gu Jin…"
Her voice was barely above a whisper.
The memories came rushing back—
His laughter.
His warm smile.
The way he always looked at her as if she was the only person in the world.
But now…
He was gone.
"Why…?"
Her hands clenched tightly.
"Why did it have to be you…?"
Her voice broke as she fell to her knees.
The pain in her chest felt unbearable, as if her heart was being torn apart piece by piece.
"I can't do this anymore…"
She took a step forward.
The cold wind brushed against her skin, but she didn't care.
Nothing mattered anymore.
Not without him.
"If there's even the slightest chance…"
Her voice trembled.
"…that I can see you again…"
She closed her eyes.
"…then I'll take it."
Without hesitation
She jumped.
The cold water swallowed her whole.
Darkness surrounded her as she sank deeper and deeper, her consciousness slowly fading away.
Then
A strange light appeared.
Soft… yet blinding.
The crimson moon reflected on the water
But this time…
It felt different.
As if something…
Was calling her.
