The Moon in the Water
Flowers in the Mirror
Who can see through it all?
He was a man who used his heart to understand love. Through his love, he learned what it meant to have his beloved die before him.
After five years of waiting, he learned the meaning of endless longing.
After five years of gazing into the distance, he learned the meaning of lonely yearning.
Five years later, he finally welcomed her return. But she was no longer who she used to be, just as he was no longer who he had once been.
Five years had changed everything. Only his love for her, and her love for him, remained unchanged through the years.
Their brief reunion turned their hopes into a shattered despair.
Despair for her, despair for himself, despair for them both.
She was a woman who made promises with her life. Through her love, she learned what it meant to stand by someone in silence.
For five years, she traded her own despair for his happiness, but he never found that happiness.
Five years still brought only despair for them both.
When she passed away, his heart too fell silent.
Perhaps their fates were sealed the moment they made a promise to meet again in another life.
But fate is often impossible to fathom.
If they never broke their vows, would fate give them a chance to love one another?
