"I love you..."

You constantly whispered to yourself at the bedside of your lover. "I love you so much... please don't go." Your head lowered in agony as you held back your cries.

You were currently grieving your lover, Eli Clark, holding his dear companion Poppo. No, he wasn't dead, but he was... asleep. Eli had played a match, and was hit so hard he was forced to stumble forward which in turn made him trip, fall over, and hit his head. You swore it was just a small series of unluckiness, but when he came back to the manor stumbling then passing out, everything went downhill. Once he passed out, he didn't wake up.

Emily did everything in her power to help him, but there was nothing more she could do. Just wait... but you've done that for so long already. 4 months, and nothing had changed.

You missed his embrace. His names for you, his warm touch and gentle comfort, you missed It all. Eli was such a kind soul, but you could not experience that anymore.

"Please wake up... Eli I miss you... Please just- WAKE UP!" You whimpered as you sat there in pain, Poppo also chanting with you in her coos. You never felt something so horrible in your heart before. You just about wailed again, until a soft pressure caressed your head. "Why are you crying? That's not good for anybody..."

You head rose quicker than the sun in summer, and the Seer jumped with widened eyes. "Eli!" You beamed. You jumped up and wrapped your arms around him and he nervously let his arms wave around you as Poppo flew up to keep a distance from the intense gesture. "Ah- can you-?"

"Wait! I have to tell Emily!" You stood up and ran out of the infirmary and just like magic you ran into Emily. Today was truly full of miracles. "Emily! H-he!" You didn't even know how to phrase the exciting news but by your happy expression and stuttering she knew. She made a bee line for the infirmary and you followed.

Low and behold Eli was up and awake with a nervous expression. "Eli! You're up!" Emily said excitedly as she made her way to his side. "I- I'm up!" He said shakily. However she slowed down, and her smile slowly dropped as he investigated him.

"Wh-whats wrong Emily?" You asked, shuffling up to her. Poppo landed back into your arms as you watched the Doctor inspect him. She didn't answer, and only grabbed you, shoving your face in front of Eli's. You blushed furiously. "H-hey Emily- stop that!" You said playfully. "Yeah, don't be weird Miss." Both your eyes widened and you stepped back. What? You looked up to see Eli had backed away and gave Emily a weary expression.

"M-Miss? Eli, that's Emily?" You said concerned. He gave you a confused look... the same he gave Emily. She spoke softly. "He-... he doesn't remember." Your eyes widened and Emily only cupped her mouth. Your mind wouldn't comprehend what she had just told you. You didn't want to hear it.

You swiftly went to Eli's side and held his shoulders. "Eli! D-do you know who I am?" His eyes widened and for a moment you had hope until he gave a nervous smile and said, "I'm sorry, I can't recall." You let go, a look of dread on your face as you backed away from him. The look on your face was not a pleasant one, as if you had seen the devil. "(Y/n)..." Emily walked up to you slowly, holding out her arms but you backed away from her as well. She stopped her advances at your grief stricken face. Even Eli looked at you with surprise. "I-!" You started, but could never finish what was stuck in your throat. Ever since Eli passed out that day, you couldn't wait to shower him in love and affection, and him to you but now... He did not even know your name.
