Have you ever loved someone to the point of finding another person just like you to replace them?
He's dead. Her boyfriend's dead.
Young women often come and sit on this rooftop to remember him. Even though we don't know what happened, the lover committed suicide right here.
'Goodbye,' he said before falling back down. He was seriously injured and later died, leaving the young woman alone with her loss.
The human figures remain on the floor even though the cases are over. The woman begs officials to keep them and sometimes goes down to add chalk to them. Repair parts that have been lost over time.
Her boyfriend is an employee of a large company. He is a very good programmer. There were no signs that he had committed suicide before. Until he disappeared and was found on this rooftop.
They have been together for many years but are not yet married. The room in the condo was one of the few possessions they had together and filled with memories. The life insurance that the loved one took out did not pay out because the death was a suicide. The lonely life of a young woman who owned a small tailor shop began one year ago from that day.
Now she was on a quiet rooftop. In the pouring rain, the owner of the building gave special permission to her because she thought that coming to the scene would be of some help to the young woman. And it really helped.
A young woman meets 'him' who appears only a few days after her lover's passing.
“Hello, are you here alone today?” The young man was standing in the storage room, looking down at the young woman. Someone like her boyfriend always appeared at this time. She smiles and talks to him like every day, only he is 'not' the lover who died.
Do you know a parallel world?
A world where everything is like us but not There is another me, but it's not me. But these two worlds had their own lives. Yes, the lover she saw was from those parallel worlds. At first he thought he was the ghost of her lover, but in the end it turned out not to be.
Even though they have the same appearance, they are completely different on the inside.
“I don't have memories like your lover,” he said politely. “Like my girlfriend. You don't have memories like hers either.”
The young man explained part of the reason for his appearance in this other dimension. He thought it was because of another person's suicide.
It was funny that his lover or his worldly self was already dead. Even though the two worlds are parallel, they do not have exactly the same things. There may only be similar events occurring.
Maybe it all happened just to bring the two of them together.
Stories of fate are always mysterious and magical.
The young woman talked with him, whether it was something big or small. Until she felt that this person was truly her lover and wanted to touch him more until she was almost crazy, not knowing if she was longing for love or what was driving her to do that. A young woman doesn't want to care about anything at all, including society, friends, or family.
I don't even care if this is true love or not.
The only thing that bothered me was not being able to physically touch the young man or show any affection other than talking and looking. He was like a ghost, only existing because no one saw him like she saw him. Therefore, no one believed that the young man was beside her.
Even though family and relatives are concerned, they can only recommend that they see a psychiatrist. Everyone is busy with their own lives right now. And the psychiatrist only gave her sedatives, but it was useless because what she saw was not a hallucination. It's the truth
When it got serious, the family began to use violence and put her in a psychiatric hospital. The young women threatened to commit suicide if they did so and refused any form of treatment.
The girl only wants to be with him like a lover. She won't let anyone or anything stop her. Until one day, she decided to ask if there was a way to be together.
It is almost impossible in reality. But there was an answer, even though it was rather terrifying, that she had to have an accident just like his girlfriend in that world.
The girl didn't think much, just wanted to be with someone like her lover. No matter how bad you have to do, I will accept it.
A frail figure stood on the edge of the building, stretching out its arms. She closed her eyes and prepared herself.
“I'm ready,” she said before his thick palm gently pushed her down.
Her body hit the ground with a loud noise from inside and blood began to flow. Many bones were broken, the girl knew. Her internal organs were the same, but her consciousness was not focused on them at all.
'She's going to be with him now'
Suddenly the siren will sound. With the whole world turning dark
The news of his ex-girlfriend's death was playing on the screen.
A young man is flirting with a new partner. Yes, it's himself, but it's another person from a parallel world. They broke the kiss before smiling at each other with eyes full of lust for release.
One secret of people in parallel worlds is that only their selves in the other world can touch each other. Other people cannot see or only in the case of lovers can see but that's all.
“Although it hurt a bit, it was successful,” another person said. He smiled even though he almost died at the time. No, he was dead now, if it meant his old self. He used his programmer's abilities to erase his old identity and create a new one. Including another person's own.
Both of their plans succeed and each gets rid of their lover. But their love will remain a secret. But they were glad because it was like each other possessing the other to the depths of their souls.
It truly makes them belong to each other.
