Renji would lie on his bed at night,
Staring at the ceiling, where shadows curved like forgotten maps.
He played with the shadows every night and suddenly became too interested in the lost legacies and ancient histories.
He started to study the mythologies, and he was too involved in it.
Renji had a simple, harmless pleasure: he was a connoisseur of the female form, but only in the most platonic sense.
He didn't gawk or leer; instead, his gaze was that of an art critic admiring a painting, tracing the lines of a strong jaw, the curve of a smile, or the elegant way a woman adjusted her scarf in the wind.
He saw the beauty in their ordinary moments-a quiet focus while reading a book or the animated gestures of a conversation with a friend.
It was a secret, silent appreciation, a one-sided observation that asked for nothing in return, and gave nothing away.
Renji usually likes to walk at midnight.
The time is 1.45 am, Renji is walking through a dark subway area, and here comes the mysterious girl.
Renji thought that "She was someone who offered paid affection to lonely men."
She started walking directly to him, but he was too nervous.
She was too beautiful, covering half her face with a cute cloth.
Renji was attracted to her.
He suddenly had a crush on her.
An unknown Guts appeared in him and asked her about her late-night walk in an unsafe environment.
She doesn't answer his question and asks him to sit on the stone bench near them.
Renji thought that was going to be a nice moon watch.
She suddenly stood up from the bench and said to him
"You don't belong here".
And she left.
He doesn't have a clue about what she said.
Renji was too confused and started to go there regularly, but she said the same thing for 3 days.
The next day, she was stopped from coming there, and Renji got frustrated.
Renji went home and slept without peace.
He started to dream about her.
Daily same dream appeared to him.
Renji heard the same voice of hers in his dreams daily.
"Come to me. You'll never be alone again."
