She remembers.
She remembers movement.
She remembers having a misshapen, bony, and disproportioned body.
She remembers wind.
She remembers the cool breath whipping around her form as she stretches her wings.
She remembers colors.
She remembers the whiteness of her form and the blue on her face.
She remembers apathy.
She remembers not caring about the cold desolation of her home.
She remembers the need to survive.
She remembers ending life to sustain hers.
She remembers forbidden affections.
She remembers a pretty human girl with blond hair, wide blue eyes, and a kind heart.
She remembers death.
She remembers a creature with a cruel heart hiding behind the facade of the charming, perfect son.
She remembers betrayal.
She remembers her heart breaking with the realization that the girl would sacrifice her to help the creature.
She remembers sacrifice.
She remembers the strokes of a pen bringing the ending of life.
She remembers pain.
She remembers her form disintegrating into dust.
The windows to her soul flicker beneath closed shutters.
For only in sleep does she remember
When morning comes, she no longer remembers why she dyes the ends of her wispy white hair with colors from the sky.
She is a shinigami no longer.
She only remembers her human life.
Yet, she sometimes remembers, in her dreams.
She only knows that the records from her father's début case give her nightmares every night.
She cannot quit yet bring herself to fully forget, because part of her knows that even if she has been given another chance, she wants to remember why.
She never wants to forget love, so she can remember how to find it again.
