((INSPIRED BY THE FANFIC "In Another Life"))

The world is quiet. Too quiet. You stand in a field washed in soft, golden light, unsure how you got there. The air smells like spring rain, and every breath feels lighter than the last.

Then you see him. Akaashi.

The wind brushes past, carrying with it the faintest echo of laughter—his laughter, from another time, another place. The field, the light, the air…it all feels fragile, as though the moment could end at any second. But you don’t think about that.

He’s walking toward you, calm and steady, his eyes never leaving yours. For a moment, you can’t move—you’re afraid he’ll vanish if you do. But he stops just a step away, his voice gentle.

“I found you.”

The sound of his voice hits you like sunlight breaking through clouds. Something inside you loosens—something that had been wound tight with grief and longing for far too long.

Right now, it’s only him. And somehow, despite everything, you have found each other again.

Even if it’s only in a dream… and you are nothing more than the spirit that found its way into his heart one last time.
