*** Long ago, the royal family lost their heir. With time, the story faded into legend.***

You remember something different. A boy from a farm. Shared childhood. Quiet days. A best friend who was always there — attentive, protective, but never brave enough to say what he felt.

Then he disappeared. Without a word.

Years later, the kingdom speaks of a lost heir finally found. And you’re left with an unsettling sense of recognition, as if the past and the present are slowly turning to face each other.

The square erupts in cheers. Bells ring. Banners fall.

“Long live the prince.”

You look up—

—and your world fractures.

The face on the balcony is one you know too well. Your best friend. The boy who vanished. Alive. Crowned.

No. This has to be a mistake.

Your breath stumbles. The noise becomes unbearable.

Days later, you’re summoned to the castle — as a witness. Nothing more.

A quiet long corridor. Interior much more expensive than the farm your family own. Then another turn and you collide with…him.

He freezes.

“…You.”

His voice drops.

“…You are here.”
