When Love Ceases
I give up being with my family and follow my boyfriend, Leon Burton, to a research institute in the harsh land of Aetheris, just to take care of him.
One day, he discovers an asteroid. According to the law in our country, the person who discovers an asteroid holds the right to name it. Without even stopping to think, he says, "I'll name it Phoebe."
Everyone is stunned. Naming an asteroid is a significant event, but Leon makes his decision too hastily.
The person in charge asked again, "Are you sure you want to name it that?"
Leon nods without hesitation.
Standing in a corner where no one can see me, I can't stop crying. Only I knew that "Phoebe" is the name of his first love, Phoebe Jones.
Wiping away my tears, I call my mother. "Mom, I've decided to marry Nathan. I'm leaving Aetheris."
