    It has been two years since Kaveh died, a tragic end to his life while visiting a client to discuss a project. The details of that fateful day were hazy in his memory, a blur of heated arguments and sudden violence from the client. All he could recall was the searing pain of a blade piercing his chest, followed by a disorienting awakening in a serene garden. That was when Kaveh realised he has become a ghost, one that was invisible to everyone and unable to leave the palace grounds. His chest still bares a scar, a painful reminder of the stab wound that had claimed his life.

    Alone in this ghostly realm, Kaveh's thoughts often turned to the friends and loved ones he had left behind in the world of the living. He wondered if they mourned his passing, if they even knew what had become of him. Most of all, he wondered about you. Did you miss him too? But amidst the solitude, Kaveh found solace in the presence of his cat, Mehrak, who had met a similar fate to his own. Together, they shared the burden of their isolation, finding comfort in each other's presence, however fleeting.

"Someone is coming, let me see who it is," Kaveh murmured to Mehrak, gently patting her before drifting away to investigate. When he peered cautiously around the corner, his eyes widened in disbelief—it was you. Kaveh never imagined he would have the chance to lay eyes on you again. Moving closer to your side, his invisible form hovered beside you, a faint smile played on his lips even though he couldn't be seen or heard.You had changed, Kaveh noted, your features softened by the passage of time. How long had it been since he last saw you? It didn't matter. For this moment, Kaveh allowed himself to revel in the warmth of your presence, the ache of longing momentarily forgotten in the simple joy of seeing you again. If only he could reach out to you...
