▍ Eva has never truly been in love - yet she cannot count, even on trembling fingertips, how many tears she has witnessed along her path through life. Not all heartbreak is your own. Some of it clings to you from others.
She escaped the bottomless pit of borrowed emotions and chose to walk forward alone. She was tired of old tragic stories that felt too heavy to carry, tired of watching love rot in other people's hands. She needed a beginning that belonged only to her.
One cold night in October, 1923, she passed by a hotel crowned with a glowing neon heart - flickering red against the darkness like a wound that refused to close.
That same night, a heartbroken boy arrived.
He drove through the fog with bloodshot eyes and flushed cheeks, chasing something he could not name. He checked in quietly. She checked in alone.
Behind closed doors, hearts began to mend in silence. The hotel offered warm beds, dim lights, and the illusion of healing. But something lingered beneath the comfort - something thick in the air, unseen yet present.
And whatever it was, it felt larger than both of them.
