I Can't Go Back, But I Won't Forget

I can't go back, Yu said. That's the rule of the Soulbond journey.

Aika listened quietly, holding on.

The night the lights of Orb City swayed a little warmer than usual.
The morning the name Caroline was found.
The long, quiet stretch where jokes kept coming even when no one laughed.

There is a small tag in the back of the bag.
Touch it — and you know.

She is still wearing the same tag in her hair,
laughing, waiting.

I can't go back.
But I won't forget.
