I was a mute cannon-fodder character saved by my Host. In my world, we depended on each other.
But once his mission was complete, he abandoned me. No matter how desperately I pleaded with him in sign language, he still left without hesitation.
Wearing his favorite clothes, I died on a cold, rainy day.
When I opened my eyes again, I was in his world, but he already had someone he loved.
I got the chance to speak, but the price was that he would forget me.
I led him into falling in love with me, step by step, until his memories returned.
“Can’t we start over?”
I pulled my hand away and sneered. “It’s too late. The moment you fall in love with me again is the moment I disappear.”
He would never know that when I waved goodbye, I was signing: Don’t leave me behind.
