My eyes flutter open, my senses immediately telling me that I'm in a tropical setting as I lie upon something soft and comforting, like a bed. A warm summer breeze wafts through, carrying the scent of salt and sun-warmed sand.

His mind was consumed by a relentless torment, one that haunted him with the nagging question of what could have been. As he glanced at the photographs adorning the walls, each frozen moment captured a fragment of his mother's vibrant spirit.

My laptop, a silent witness to countless conversations and late-night writing sessions, sits on the desk. I reach out to touch it, my fingers tracing the familiar contours of the keyboard. It's coming with me, a tether to the outside world, a connection to a life I'm not sure I remember how to live.

After all, the allure of that home in Nocturnia was too strong for me. Everything there was described to me by Atlas, but I had no memories of it at all. I always hoped to return there. Perhaps it would trigger a memory. People who hadn't experienced this couldn't understand the feeling of missing a piece of memory.

Badly.” “Ian, that’s how nostalgia works,” I said with a chuckle. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that you still love the person you were with during those moments, only that you want to relive their magic.”

I couldn’t help but be flooded with memories. Every corner of the room held a memory, a fragment of the past that was impossible to ignore.

But just as quickly as the dream had captured her heart, it began to wane.
