Chapter 102: Family (3) (Teaser)
… I dreamed of a long-forgotten past, a time when I lived with my family in a small, crowded room. The memory was brief, like a sunset fading away, incomplete yet undeniably beautiful. I once had a family, too.
When I opened my eyes, the sun blazed down from a clear sky. I raised a hand to shield my eyes from the intense brightness. A meadow stretched out around me. Insects chirped, the grass swayed in a gentle breeze, and the trees rustled softly as their leaves fluttered.
