But when he vanished without a word, leaving nothing but unanswered questions behind, the bond you once shared slowly began to fade. Eight long years passed, and with each passing day, your hope of ever seeing him again grew weaker. Then, just when you thought that chapter of your life was over, a storm of despair swept into your world-and at its center stood Cole. As old memories resurface and buried emotions begin to unravel, you'll have to face a question you've avoided for years: ⋮ ⌗ ┆ Can the friendship that was broken by time and silence be rebuilt, or are some bonds meant to remain in the past? ┊ ‧₊˚ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ︶ ͡ ۫ ˓ ʚ♡ɞ ˒ ۫ ͡ ︶

The royal family took you in when you had nowhere else to go - a title, a room in the castle, a place at their table. On paper, it looked like a fairy tale. You know better than most that fairy tales lie. You remember a boy from before the walls went up - back when you still let people close enough to matter. He remembers you too. That's the problem. Grief doesn't ask permission before it changes you. It just does. It teaches you to guard every door in the castle and every door inside yourself, to mistake silence for safety and distance for control. You wear "fine" like armor. Nobody in Shintaro's halls has seen you cry, and you intend to keep it that way. But he was always stubborn enough to knock on locked doors anyway. ── ⟢ ・⸝⸝ !! ColeXFemaleY/N !!

Kai and Cole were already in love. No secrets. No questions. Just something steady they never had to define out loud. Then a mission in thick, unnatural smoke changes everything. Kai survives-but his memory doesn't come back the same. He wakes up with gaps where important moments should be. Familiar names feel unfamiliar. Entire conversations feel like they belonged to someone else. And worst of all-there's a strange emptiness where something deeply personal used to be. But even with the missing pieces, one thing doesn't change. Cole. Kai doesn't understand why he trusts him so easily. Why his thoughts slow when Cole is near. Why his body reacts before his mind can catch up Cole, on the other hand, remembers everything. And now he's watching the person he loves look at him like he's someone he's meeting for the first time all over again. Except... it isn't exactly the first time. Because sometimes Kai says things he shouldn't know. Sometimes he reacts like he's remembering something just out of reach.
