    Summary

    “There must be a reason, Suho. A reason why you wait. Why I always come back.”

    “Suho?” he called, not in certainty, but in yearning, casting it upward like a thread hoping to stitch two realms together, as though names were bridges, syllables that could resurrect light’s ebbing breath.

    The bulb swung in slow arcs at the echoes of grief, parting the shadows until, in the wash of gleaming white, he saw him.

    Suho, wreathed in red blooms on the ring floor, stains of blood indistinguishable from crimson flowers unfolding themselves like secrets around him.

    A hero mid-slumber, too young for death, too beloved for forgetting, caught in the realm between two worlds, even ancient death undaring to truly claim him.

    Beyond his grave, the tree, gnarled and quiet, grown from no visible soil, blooming red as though it had fed on sorrow’s tears.

    “Sieun,” his name only a hush of breath, resembling frail petals along the spring breeze.

    [or: Sieun looks for Suho beyond dreams.]
