REMINI [Tragedy]✓

"How long till you say-release me Kian, it's hurting?"

"Hmph..." The mockery could scald me more than it could be smarting to someone for whom wounds were just a tenderness felt by neurons and not the mind.

"As long as you don't say-'You have ruined my effort. Everytime.' Say Kian, 'You have wasted the life I have been trying to save.'"

Another drop trickled down.

"I..."

"You may already have thought of it. Not once Kian... of all people, why did you have to have optimism for someone who drowned in the ocean of nihilism?"

"Remini..."

"Does calling my name deliver you from distress?"

"Come with me..." My grip on her got relinquished, the heel of my hand-a rich mess of red. "I want to take you to a place-there was someone who resembled you somewhere. She loved the place so much."

"Kian..."

"Come with me. I want to take you to all the places she ever considered beautiful."

Some meetings bring disasters. A messed up story. (Timeline: 1997)

What happens when someone arrives to offer help and gets stuck in some other mess?

The art professor who quit the only thing he was good at decides to restart sketching after getting a glimpse of the woman's life for who living itself was exhausting.

Kian saves Rem. But he gets stuck in her traumas.

[A man of uncertainty yet full of buried responsibilities; Kian is quiet, melancholic.
A man of time and energy; Winston loves long journeys with Rhea. Sometimes he's a bit suspicious but he has patience. He scarcely loses his cool but when he does, it's bad.
Once childhood bestfriends now lovebirds; Rhea, Winston's quiet and romantic wife. Loves stormy nights and rain. She has short temper. The reason why they fight often. Possibly?
Rem; a girl of miseries-shattered, hollow.]

Four characters-Four lives-Merged into one.
