Ch 427: Without a trace.

I never saw her again—

not a word, nor a message.

It was almost as if

she never existed at all.

But she did, and it was real—

at least for me.

But she just vanished,

leaving no trace of any kind.

Maybe I should have seen her,

even if it meant the last time.

Maybe hug her, console her,

but I never went.

And now, despite the search,

I couldn't catch her name.

Perhaps I wasn't desperate—

not enough to find her.
