The Divine Official Says He Doesn't Love Me

A chance encounter brought into her life the person she could never forget, and she yearned for him over several lifetimes.

As for him, his memories of her went no further than their brief first meeting as children. At first, he thought he felt nothing for her, but in truth, they were both making their way toward each other. It simply took much longer for him to understand. After lifetimes of entanglement, the emotionless, desireless divine official gradually came to feel restlessness, bitterness, pain, and joy... all because of her. As time passed, was this merely a familiar attachment, or had fate bound them together long ago? No one knew, and no one sought an answer. Their destined understanding and appreciation for each other set the cycle of cause and effect in motion, until they finally returned to their origin.
