Stars Of Solitude

In the deep expanse of space, surrounded by dark mist and a thousand stars, a girl awakens with immeasurable power — Noirelle. Her eyes blaze like flames, full of longing and despair, her heart beating with an energy overwhelmed by a sense of emptiness and loneliness, yet also by a desire for something she has never experienced — safety, belonging, love. Every beat of her heart is like a silent explosion of energy, resonating through the universe around her. She senses a bright, warm pulse, released by Aiko — a wave radiating gentle warmth, a sense of home, and something she has long yearned for.

Through this pulse, she senses another presence — Akihiko. Her heart screams, calling out for him, desiring him as her own, to be hers alone. Her thoughts are clear and unwavering: "He must be mine. His power, his warmth, his gaze meant only for me — all of it must belong to me." Her hands rise, almost unconsciously, as if trying to grasp that feeling, yet every thread slips through her fingers.

In her mind, she whispers: "I want this. I want to be where I am loved, where I am safe. I will not give up until it is mine."

Meanwhile, Aiko, exhausted, sleeps in the chamber beside Akihiko, while her energy still mingles with his, creating a sense of security that Noirelle searches for so desperately from the cosmos. In her dreams, Aiko senses the presence of someone foreign, a feeling both unsettling and strange. Akihiko, meanwhile, senses a subtle shift in the air. His inner compass, guided by the protection of Aiko, detects something unusual — an energy that does not belong. His eyes narrow in concern, but determination awakens within him. Whatever is coming, he will not allow it to threaten what he and Aiko have built. He holds her close, unaware that he himself will be the one in need of saving.

Her energy spreads across the universe, waves of power sweeping over Akarihoshi and Earth. Noirelle senses the subtle pulse of Aiko’s energy and simultaneously the quiet echo of Akihiko’s presence. It is enough for her to begin manipulating time, space, and the threads of fate. Her power, combined with untamed will and longing, strikes like an invisible force — time slows, space twists, memories intertwine. Every moment becomes like an eternal mirror of past and future.

Aiko awakens on Earth, in her room. Glances at the walls, her star pendant necklace, give her a sense of familiarity and safety. Yet the warmth she felt near Akihiko has vanished. She remembers nothing — neither events, nor the past, nor the deep love that once connected them. Inside, she feels a subtle emptiness, a quiet call for something lost.

On Akarihoshi, Akihiko stands on the royal balcony. He feels an unusual void in his heart. There is no reason for it — everything around him is peaceful, the sun shining over the palace, the wind gently ruffling his hair — yet something is missing. He tries to summon the memory, the presence, the warmth that was once here, but finds nothing. Only silence. His blue eyes search the stars as if seeking the lost light, unaware of where or what he is missing.

Noirelle floats in the middle of space, her eyes gleaming with malice and satisfaction. For a moment, she allows herself a bitter smile: "Just a few more moments… and Akihiko will be mine. Every thread of his heart will be bound to me. No one and nothing will prevent him from belonging to me." Her hands tremble slightly, the energy around her vibrating, waves of power merging with space itself, as if the universe itself were listening to her plan.

On Earth, Aiko rises, dresses, and looks out the window. The world seems ordinary, yet in her mind there is a faint emptiness — something that once belonged to her is gone, something she once knew but cannot identify. She feels longing, a sensation that defies explanation, yet presses upon her with uncomfortable strength. Her thoughts are muddled, but she tries to ignore it and continue with her day.

On Akarihoshi, Akihiko breathes deeply, attempting to summon the touch, the presence, the warmth that once lingered here. Yet he feels nothing. Only silence and emptiness. His soul senses a pulse — something lost, something that was his — yet he cannot name it. This void pains him at times, making his heart beat faster, though everything around him seems normal. No tragedy, no danger, no war — only a subtle gap in his heart reminding him that something is missing.

Noirelle observes everything from afar. Every heartbeat, every breath, every subtle feeling of emptiness that draws them back to each other grants her strength and confidence that their future will soon be hers to command. Just a moment more… and the real game will begin. Her energy hums lightly, as if the universe itself shivers in anticipation, and she feels satisfaction that their hearts remain vulnerable despite everything.

Yet deep within, in their souls, there remains something unseen — a quiet echo of the past. Like an invisible thread, waiting for fate to one day reunite Aiko and Akihiko. No memories, no knowledge, only an inexplicable sense that something is missing, that someone once important was with them, someone who meant everything.

Aiko continues her days on Earth. Occasionally, she pauses, breathes deeply, and senses the faint, quiet hole in her heart. She does not know why, but her heart occasionally beats faster when she looks at the stars or hears the soft whisper of the wind. These sensations are subtle, almost imperceptible, yet strong enough to remind her that something is lost.

On Akarihoshi, Akihiko performs his daily royal duties, meeting nobles, holding meetings, yet inside remains a subtle emptiness. He feels it in the quiet of the night, standing alone on the balcony, gazing at the sky. His heart whispers that someone who is no longer there, someone who should be here, is missing.

One day, they will again feel what was lost… and only then will the game truly begin. Aiko and Akihiko are unaware of it now, unaware of their past and the love that once bound them. They feel only the emptiness — faint, subtle, yet strong enough to make their hearts occasionally beat faster, touching those parts of their souls that remain vulnerable and sensitive.

The world around them is ordinary, life flowing as usual, yet the quiet hole in their hearts reminds them that something is missing. When they eventually meet what their souls already know, those moments will be filled with excitement, longing, and immense emotional power. But for now, they remain separated, each in their own world, each with a piece they cannot complete, each sensing that life feels slightly incomplete.

Noirelle floats in space, her eyes glinting, her heart filled with longing and wicked determination. Her power has caused a turning point, separated Aiko and Akihiko, and created a quiet echo of emptiness. Yet even she knows — deep in their hearts exists a light, an invisible thread, waiting for fate to one day guide the paths of their hearts toward each other. She must not allow it. "Now I just need to approach him, and I will have him. His heart will be mine," she whispers with a sweet smile.
