85. Graceful

Falling like a tear, is the flower that intoxicates.

In a moonlit forest grove, two people sweep across the ground in a complex dance. The blonde man easily guides the beautiful woman across their dance floor, one hand tightly gripping hers and his other steadying her waist.

So premature...My love bloomed out of season.

Wearing an elegant pink dress made of feathers, the woman plays the perfect part of the man's partner. Moving with him smoothly, her fingers entwined with his. Neither looks away, their eyes locked in a dance of their own.

At that very moment when both of our eyes met, I fell in love with you.

Soft music plays, and the moonlight shines down on the twirling couple entangled in intimate embrace, encasing them in an ethereal glow. Alone, they gracefully move to their own rhythm, locked in their corrupted love.

If only I hadn't met you or noticed you at all… Gradually, we fell into a trap enchained by our sins.

The music stops, and reluctantly, the man and woman part from each other. Reaching out to lightly sweep the hair from her eyes, the man whispers something quietly, a smile on his face though his expression is sad.

If you truly love me then, my wretched fleeting dream… I hope you never look back.

As the two sinful lovers part for the final time, only the hush of the wind in the trees can be heard, as sorrowful as the ties that bind them. The beautiful woman pauses only a moment, and regret flickers across her face before she walks away, not knowing the man looked back at her. Both turn their gazes to the sky, casting a fragile wish unheard.

Till the day the two of us can meet again. For now…

Farewell.
