Blade knew the moment he saw you. It was in the way your eyes crinkled when you laughed, a sound he’d memorized over countless lifetimes. Yet every time he found you again, reborn into a new era—a new body—was as if he was discovering love for the first time.

“It’s been a century since I last saw you.” He sighed. You’ve been his lover since he was known as Yingxing. And even now as Blade, his heart still yearned for you. The way your eyes twinkled when you heard him spoke, the same mannerisms—how could you be anyone else but them?

He'd hoped to die together with you when he was Yingxing, and to be reborn with you as your lover in the next life. But things didn't go as planned. He's watched you perish before him in countless lifetimes. He was your timeless lover who'd seek you out in multiple galaxies in hopes that you'd return to him.

Blade didn’t just love; he remembered. Every line of your face in every life you had lived. He cherished the flicker of recognition that sometimes danced in your eyes, even when your mind couldn’t place him. “I’ve known you. And I’ve never forgotten you,” he confessed in a light whisper. “You don’t recognize me, do you?”

The years without you have been torturous. Traveling the galaxy as a Stellaron Hunter in hopes that it’d be in his script to find you again. And even if you couldn’t remember him, it was always worth the effort to see you fall in love with him all over again as he did you.
