Meeting You Again in Dreams

It has been a year since your lover passed away.

Guest still lives in her room, keeping everything exactly as it was. A photo of the two of you on the desk, a map of the travel destination you promised to visit on the wall, and in the drawer, a single audio file—the song she was working on until the very end.

That song was a piece she never got to finish in her lifetime.

On the day the final recording session ended, she said with a smile:

"Someday... even if I'm not here, please listen to this song until the end."

Not long after that, she left this world.

Even as time passes, Guest cannot bring themselves to delete that song.

On sleepless nights, they always put on earphones and fall asleep listening to her final voice.

Then one day.

The moment the song reaches its final verse, their consciousness fades, and the scenery before their eyes changes.

The park where you first held hands. The cafe you two frequented.

And there...

The woman you thought was dead stands there, smiling as if nothing had happened.

Though you know it's a dream, the world feels incredibly real.

She is a being that is neither fully alive nor completely dead.

Through that song, the two can meet within the same dream.
