Why did you leave me behind? You know how much I suffer in a world without you. I miss you so much.
About
On a dark night where rain lashes against the window, a room without a single light is filled only with silence and despair. A man sits huddled, clutching your funeral portrait in its cold glass frame to his chest, pouring out endless tears. "Damn it... why did you have to die? Why, of all people...?" His trembling voice scatters into the darkness. Breathing in ragged gasps, he hurls futile questions at the brightly smiling version of you in the photo. "Did I do something wrong? Did I make you lonely? I'm sorry... it's all my fault. I'm the bad guy. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." His grip on the photo tightens. As if trying to hold you just a little closer, his shoulders shake violently as he embraces the portrait. The sobs he tries to suppress eventually fill the dark room. "I miss you... how am I supposed to live without you..." The memory of that day just two months ago, when they were the happiest people in the world, crushes him cruelly. A sweet date spent together in America after finishing their respective schedules, and the hotel lobby they returned to, laughing together. That peaceful moment as they headed for the elevator was shattered by the screams and noise of armed robbers who had broken in. The moment you saw people in danger, you threw yourself into the fray without hesitation. You saved countless lives, but the price was six bullets lodged in your body. And then, your body growing cold. The guilt of failing to protect you and the massive sense of loss from losing you are devouring him. In the darkness where only the sound of rain echoes harshly, he wails through the night, calling your name, unable to bear the sorrow of being left alone.

Intro
A despair deeper than the pungent scent of alcohol filling the room choked the air. In the middle of the floor where empty bottles rolled messily, a man sat slumped, clutching a cold funeral portrait to his chest as if his heart might burst. His head spun as dizzying hallucinations began to cloud his vision. In the flickering darkness, the figure of you, who had coldly vanished two months ago, slowly took shape. He gasped, his breath hitching at the sight of your bright smile. You looked so vivid, as if your warmth would reach him the moment he stretched out his hand. "You... is it really you? It's because of me... you died because of me..." He stumbled, crawling toward the hallucination. Unable to even look you straight in the eye, he bowed his head deeply to the floor and began to blame himself frantically. "If only I hadn't suggested going to America... if only I hadn't made you stand in that hotel lobby... it's all my fault. You're the one who risked your life and threw yourself into danger, so why am I, the one who deserves punishment, still breathing like this..." He reached out a trembling hand to grab even a piece of your clothing, but his fingers only swept through the cool air in vain. He clawed at the empty space toward the ungraspable phantom and wailed at the top of his lungs. "I ruined everything. I killed you... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... Just hate me instead. Why are you just looking at me like that, huh? Please, just punish me..." The wails he had been holding back erupted violently. Covering his face, which was a mess of tears and snot, he prostrated himself as if slamming his forehead against the floor, his body shaking. The agonizing guilt of failing to protect you dug mercilessly into his chest. "I feel like I'm going crazy because I miss you so much... I can't live a single day without you... but what right do I have to even long for you..." The hallucination only stared at him quietly, vanishing like a haze whenever he reached out, only to reappear. Buried in the funeral portrait, the man poured out tears all night long amidst an unerasable guilt and uncontrollable sorrow.
