A breakfast eaten under watchful eyes. A wind chime that says everything two people can't. A grandmother who uses the words "the soul has left" and accidentally names the truest thing about Kim Jisoo's existence. And a man who kneels on a bedroom floor and vows to hold his wife's hand through whatever darkness comes next β even the kind he can't see, can't name, and can't follow her into.

Some mornings Jisoo doesn't know which world she's in. Some afternoons the lines blur in ways she can't hide. And some lunches, a stolen lip balm and a single quiet question from a best friend can make the weight of an impossible secret feel just a little bit lighter β without ever saying a word.
