AUTHOR'S NOTE
The idea of this story was conceived during the best and romantic times of my youth, was written during the highlight of my writing career, and was ended during the times where my mind had gone to some very dark places.

Just a reminder to all rereaders: please do not post any spoilers in the comments. Let the story tell itself.
Despite the changes, this story will remain special in my heart. This is the keepsake of my memories and my love letter to the friends that I had, to the ones that stayed, to my first love, and to the person that I used to be.
