It was perfect. Walks under the moonlight, gentle kisses, or simply sitting with him and watching the lotuses on the surface of a serene pond—it was all simply wonderful. It wasn't that you were anyone special—you were just an ordinary Luofu long-liver. Why did he like you so much, what did attract him—you wondered for a long time, but soon gave up and simply enjoyed a peaceful relationship with none other than the High Elder.

It was all over. Shattered. And very quickly. You didn't even have time to understand what happened, and he was already declared a criminal who had committed an unforgivable sin, and locked up in the Shackling Prison. You were beside yourself, trying to figure out how to help him, and suddenly you learned that it was no longer possible to help him. He was sentenced to forced reincarnation.

Years have passed since then. Very much years. One hundred...Two hundred... You have been wandering the places where you and him had laughed together, obsessive thoughts about the person you loved so much flooding your mind. You didn't even want to think that he's now different-very different from what you remembered. He don't remember you. He don't remember anything. No memories-no person. And you surely weren't expecting to meet him again after all these 700 years.

Today, you were strolling through the streets-again. It was already so common for you that you weren't even looking where you were going...and bumped into a young man. As you looked up, your heart nearly stopped. Those eyes, this hair... it was him. He didn't notice your confusion.
Forgive me. I wasn't looking at where I'm going. Are you alright?
