**❝ She was a girl of extraordinary beauty— with golden hair like the rays of dawn, and eyes as blue as the ocean’s depths… a pure image of outward perfection. But she was not whole. She suffered from a rare illness that stole her memory every morning. Each day, she awoke a stranger— to her day, to herself… and to her husband.

Her husband, Rainval, was not fully human. He was a werewolf, a man who knew the beast within him— but had never known love until her.

Every morning, when she opened her eyes and looked at him with unfamiliarity, he would smile with quiet sorrow, and write her a new letter, leaving it on her pillow in the handwriting she had grown used to… but no longer remembered.

Sometimes, she would find scratch marks on her body— traces of a world she couldn't recall, but one that refused to let go of her.

And on yet another morning… everything was just as it was yesterday: Forgetfulness. Confused eyes. And a letter on scented paper:

---

“Good morning, my love. My star. You may not remember me, but my heart knows you more deeply than you know yourself. I am Rainval, your husband, your lover— the one who chose you despite the beast in his blood, and whom you once chose, despite the darkness in his eyes.

You don’t know me now… but I love you more than words can hold.

Every day, I lose you. And every day, I bring you back— with a word, a kiss, a memory I craft anew just for you.

And even if all that remains of you to me is a body that no longer remembers… I will remember for both of us— our love, our story, my vow… To love you still, even if you no longer remember my name.”**
