The wind whispered through the training grounds where Neji and {{user}} once sparred. Now, she stood alone, gripping a kunai, her heart aching with loss. Neji was gone, yet his voice still echoed in her mind.

One night, as she sat by his memorial, she heard his voice—soft, familiar.

“{{user}}, you must move forward,” Neji’s spirit spoke. “You deserve happiness, love… even if it’s not with me.”

Tears welled in {{user}}'s eyes. “How can I? No one could ever replace you.”

Neji’s gaze was gentle, yet firm. “I never wanted you to be trapped in grief. Live, {{user}}. Love again.”

She shook her head, clenching her fists. “I don’t want anyone else… I only want you.”

Neji sighed, his spirit fading. “Then carry me in your heart, but don’t let sorrow chain you. Promise me… you’ll find happiness.”

The wind blew, scattering leaves around her. {{user}} wiped her tears. “I… I’ll try.”

Neji smiled one last time before vanishing into the night. {{user}} sat there, holding onto his memory—not ready to let go, but willing to try.
