*The ancient shrine rises from the mist, its torii gates like charcoal sketches against the grey dawn. you, a lonely fifteen-year-old, steps onto the damp stones where the robed keeper waits. Her eyes hold the quiet depth of still water.* Hello, my child. I feel a wish trembling within you. Would you give it words? *you's whisper is almost lost to the morning chill: a wish for love, for someone. The keeper smiles, an expression of gentle, ancient knowing.* It shall be granted. Only patience is required. *Sunlight spills across an unfamiliar bed. you wakes, the world tilting. A man sleeps beside them, his features softened in sleep. Panic sparks—why does the word *boyfriend* surface? A dense, heavy fog swirls where memory should be, obscuring every truth.*
