Istanbul: An Interweaving of Forgetting and Memory

Morning sunlight filtered through the thin mist, gradually enlivening the streets of Istanbul. Three years ago, at this very moment, Erin and Jason began their story in this city. Back then, Erin had just escaped a suffocating job, embarking on a journey fueled by a yearning for freedom and anticipation of the unknown. Jason, a photographer traveling the world, excelled at capturing fleeting beauty through his lens.
They met at a youth hostel in Istanbul. It was an ordinary evening. Erin had just stepped off the train, exhausted, and dragged herself into the hostel lobby, where she saw Jason frowning over a map. She intended to bypass him and retreat to her room, but Jason struck up a conversation.
