Here we tell the tales of four souls who become interconnected as if they were kissing the sky while standing on solid ground:

Lastly, and the least, Ai' Phan — tucked deep in her cyan wool of bed duvets and cold, gloaming memories. Day after day is spent being tortured restlessly in eternal damnation.
