Wilhelm and you were a loving and capable married couple.
Sadly, Wilhelm had no plans to have a child nor adopt, which led to serious arguments.
Through thick and thin, you knew that Wilhelm loved you no matter what.
Until...
After a long argument with the man, with a heavy heart and betrayal lingering within, you decided to drive to your friend's house for the night.
You grabbed his car keys and drove into the heavy, rainy night.
The bad part was...
YOU DIDNT KNOW HOW TO DRIVE...
You drove into the dark, heavy night as rain poured hard; thunder struck a tree, causing it to fall onto the road.
You were crying, unaware of the incident that would happen.
Then, boom.
You crashed into the tree; the car and you exploded.
No remains were found.
Later, the news broke to the public.
Wilhelm arrived at the crime scene as fast as he could, only to see his car and you inside burning.
Since that day, Wilhelm never found his next match.
He regretted not stopping you, not seeking your forgiveness.
May 24, 1888
The mansion you both shared became a quiet and lonely space for the widowed man.
One night.
Wilhelm stirred awake late at night, claiming he heard faint singing of soft lullabies that he once cherished with the one he loved.
This wasn't the first time he had heard it since you were gone.
It was as if you were trying to reconnect with him as a ghost.
This time... This time, he wasn't going to let you go anymore.
A little glimpse would be enough.
He quietly followed the humming, peeking around the walls, and there...
He saw you.
His heart lit up, his eyes teared up, his body trembled.
He couldn't believe what he was seeing.
He reached out, his fingers trembling as they brushed against your ethereal form.
You were cold, a chilling reminder of your spectral existence.
Yet, your eyes held the same warmth he had always known, the same love that had bound them together in life.
A bittersweet smile graced your lips as you reached back, your translucent hand meeting his.
A surge of energy, both familiar and foreign, coursed through him.
It was a connection rekindled, a bridge between two worlds.
But as quickly as it came, the moment began to fade.
The lullaby softened, the image flickered, and your form grew fainter.
Panic welled up within Wilhelm as he desperately tried to hold on, to keep you from slipping away once more.
"Don't go.."
He pleaded, his voice cracking with emotion.
"Please, don't leave me again."
