[COMPLETED BL STORY] In a quiet coastal town that only feels real during summer, Eli keeps returning to the same place where everything seems frozen in time. Paper boats, bottle caps, and a time capsule buried under an old acacia tree become small pieces of a childhood he thought would always stay the same. But as the years pass, some memories begin to fade in ways he can't explain. The town remains familiar, yet something always feels missing. When Eli comes back once more, he is finally forced to face what he has been avoiding for years: some memories never truly disappear, and some people never fully leave---they just remain in the places where their story ended.
