Chapter Text
mina remembers the stories. the rumors. the legends.
she knows the tale of the kingdom in the sky, where anyone could be wealthy, and everyone was free to live, free to love. she also knows that not all stories are true.
because once upon a time, there were two girls who loved each other. and maybe in the kingdom in the sky, that would be enough. and if it were up to them, it would be enough. but dreams had no such place in the palace.
but if there’s one thing she’s held onto, it’s the kingdom in the sky. and this time, mina is determined to find it. which is why she’s here, standing at the top of the highest tower in the palace, her mind made up and her heart calm.
“i’ll see you again,” she whispers, her voice lost in the wind, “i’ll meet you in the kingdom in the sky.” and then she lets go.
