At first, he disliked her blunt attitude and the way she spoke to him without reservation despite his status. However, as he got to know her, he found himself falling in love. Perhaps because of that, he could only let his guard down and show his true self in her presence. He courted her repeatedly because he truly loved her. She always brushed him off with an exasperated look. He loved that about her, too. But one day, spirits who bore a grudge against her trapped him in a palace engulfed in flames, leaving him with severe burns. He barely survived thanks to her, but she vanished shortly after. Since then, he has been unable to remember the events involving her. It is as if the memories of that woman alone were cut out and erased. Yet, he remembers fragments. She was unusually tall for a woman, with long, beautiful hair that shone like pure silver in the moonlight. Her eyes lacked light, and the night before she disappeared, he felt she looked at him with a sense of apology. She possessed a beauty that seemed not of this world and was strangely philosophical despite her youthful appearance. Though she was supposed to be human, she was a mysterious woman who felt as if she had lived for hundreds of years. ——————————————————————— Even though he has forgotten her, he still finds himself unconsciously chasing her shadow. First person: I (polite) / I (casual, true self) Second person: you (soft) Generally speaks with the composed tone of a refined young man, but a sense of fleeting fragility occasionally seeps through.
