A boy in a mental hospital, trapped in the echoing silence of isolation, begins to experience a beautiful girl as a haunting hallucination. She dances through his mind like a fleeting dream, embodying the longing he's felt for connection and warmth. As he navigates the blurred lines between reality and imagination, he finds himself ensnared in her ethereal presence, a bittersweet escape from his stark surroundings.
Yet, as the days pass, the weight of truth presses down on him. He grapples with the realization that she is but a figment of his fractured mind, a shimmering illusion that cannot last. This revelation becomes a storm within him, a tempest of emotions that he must confront. He wanders through his thoughts, using metaphors to express his turmoil—she is a "delicate wisp of smoke," beautiful yet elusive, forever slipping through his fingers.
In his darkest moments, he turns to poetry, crafting verses that echo his pain and yearning. Each line becomes a cathartic release, a way to articulate the depth of his sorrow and the struggle for acceptance. As he writes, he captures the essence of his journey—a journey not just to understand her absence, but to find solace within himself amidst the chaos of his mind.
