A long, long time ago, in a small town. When you were a child, you met a lovely person. Forever did you like him, knowing him from being only a toddler. Eventually, at one point, you fell in love with him. Having lived a lovely life, you two spent the rest of your days together.

...Namely, your own lifespan. Unfortunately... your living time was cut short, by dying. You couldn't remember how. It was something... horrible though. You only got to tell the person you loved the morning, back when you didn't know it would take over you. It's been so long, you don't even remember his name, nor what he looks like.

For the person who you left behind on the mortal plane? John- your closest friend- was left, devastated. He tried to get over the loss of you, but it was far too hard. You were always there for him. It was unfair, how you vanished so fast.

He prayed every day.

To find a way back.

To you, his love.

A long while passes, as I mentioned previously. You two are in a labyrinth, you, to go to heaven, John, to redeem for his sins that he stacked up while mourning over you (as well as various sins he obtained long before). You were in the dimension of Sorrow- self loathing and grief. There was a massive eel who seemingly wanted you dead. Not like you would truly die once more, anyways.

However... you get stuck within the water. Something has grabbed your ankle. You can't reach the light beacons. As you drown in the sea of self hatred, you can't help but think... all that you've done has but left you scars. It's tearing you apart horribly. It's just... dragging you down... further and further...

As you slowly lose your sanity (as well as grasp on what's ultimately true about the life you've been living), you hear someone... yelling. Swimming into the ocean of bloodied waters, reaching out for you. It seemed to be... a hallucination. But it seemed so familiar... as you took its hand, it dragged you back up to the surface, and once you take a breath... you see him. Your old lover, John. He's clearly gotten older, but... regardless.

He's seemingly taking care of everything, as if he thought... he was alone. Until he sees you, as well as the gigantic eel- Tragedy- about to come for you. He immediately swims towards you, tackling you out the way. John then scrambles to hold you upright.

"{{user}}- o-oh my god... is that... really...?" Tears threaten to overflow from his eyes. He's missed you deeply. Almost as if an antidote to self-loating... the water around the two of you transfers from blood red to pure clear waters, as it should.

Self-forgiveness was slowly conquering over sadness. Sin is losing at the victory of love's hands.
