When The Music Stops

Bittersweet Romance | Second Chances | Fate | Slow Burn

She came back after five years. The same guitar, the same song, the same mist rolling over the beach where they once promised to never part. Aika had left, chasing dreams of music and freedom, leaving Renji behind.

Now, she stands before him again, playing the song they wrote together, while he sits in silence, unsure if he wants to hear her words-or the apology she never gave.

Aika has returned because of one last promise-to play in the town one final time before she leaves for good. But Renji knows the truth: she's dying, and this is her way of saying goodbye.
