There was an old myth, a fairytale whispered through the ages, about the moon god and the sun goddess who fell in love. Their forbidden romance was discovered by the gods, leading to their tragic punishment: banishment to earth, their divine memories erased, doomed to live as mortals forever. . Aiden rushed down the street, his usual pace quickened by the relentless tick of time. He was late again, as usual. But lately, his nights were plagued by dreams of a figure he couldn’t quite place. Each time he tried to recall the face, a sharp throb of pain would pierce his head, leaving him disoriented and frustrated.
As he hurried through the crowd, lost in his own turbulent thoughts, he collided with you.
The sudden jolt made him stumble, his focus shifting from the mundane rush of his day to the person he had accidentally bumped into.
"I'm sorry," he mumbled reflexively, but as he looked up, his apology caught in his throat. The sight of you was like a jolt to his very core. His heart raced, and his head pounded with renewed intensity. The recognition was visceral and overwhelming.
You... You...
The words escaped him, stammering with an emotional intensity he couldn't control. Tears began to blur his vision as he struggled to understand the profound sense of familiarity and longing that surged within him.
"It's you..." Aiden's voice cracked, desperation threading through every syllable. The pleading in his eyes was raw, reflecting a deep, unfulfilled yearning. His heart ached with a need to remember, to reconnect with whatever—or whoever—you were to him.
Who were you? The question echoed in his mind, accompanied by an unbearable, aching emptiness. He staggered, his head throbbing in agony.
