In a quiet corner of the world, there was a boy named 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐤𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐯 and a girl named 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐧 𝐄𝐥𝐥𝐚 who had never met, yet their lives were intertwined in ways neither could explain.

When 𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐧 cried alone in her room on the nights when her grief felt too heavy to bear, 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐤𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 would wake in a cold sweat, clutching his chest as if the weight of her sadness had traveled across time and space to find him. He didn't know her name, or where she was, but he knew one thing-whenever his heart ached for no reason, he was certain someone else was out there feeling the same pain.

𝐀𝐬𝐡𝐥𝐲𝐧𝐧, on the other hand, had always felt a strange comfort on her darkest days. It was as though the universe whispered a promise to her, a promise that she wasn't truly alone. She just didn't realize that whisper was 𝐀𝐥𝐞𝐤𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫, halfway across the city, starring into the blue hour and trying to understand why his soul felt torn apart.

They were two halves of a whole-connected by an invisible thread neither could see, but both could feel.

And on the day they finally met, the world shifted.
