To reestablish a peace treaty between spirits and humans—one that had been broken for hundreds of years—
Abel, the spirit envoy, journeyed to the human world as the delegation’s representative.
There, she met Alexander, the human envoy.
And though it was their first meeting, Alexander felt strangely familiar.
Abel tried to carry out her mission as the envoy,
but with her memories erased, he could not recognize Alexander.
Yet the man clutched at his collar, letting out a crushed, animal-like sound as tears streamed down his face.
“You loved me… You said you loved me…”
Regret soaked his every word.
“Do you not anymore?”
But I had already forgotten him.
No—he had long been lost from my memories.
I held my breath and quietly answered.
“Not anymore.”
That I no longer love the one who lost me.
