Theo's voice broke as tears streamed down his face.
Theo: Why did you suddenly forget me? Please… you need to remember everything! Don't forget me… please!
A soft whisper lingered in his heart:
"As someone remembers something, muster up the courage to say how you feel for him or her."
Karina shook her head, confused, looking around the hospital room.
Karina: Who is the man here before… he looks… crazy.
Winter, sitting nearby, frowned.
Winter: Who?
Karina: The man who visited here earlier.
Winter: I'm sorry, but… it looks like you're imagining things. No one came here before. I'm just here with you at the hospital!
Karina: What?! Then who was that?!
Winter: I… I don't know.

Theo closed his eyes, a bitter pang in his chest.
His mission in this world… was over.
He opened the Passage to Heaven, wings glowing faintly, heart heavy.
Theo: Goodbye, Karina. Thanks for all the memories… I love you so much.
A soft echo lingered, reaching her ears.
"I love you so much…"
Karina froze, a shiver running down her spine.
Karina: Huh?! I—love you so much? Who… said that?
Suddenly, memories rushed back—flashes of laughter, tears, shared moments—all the days she spent with Theo. A sharp headache struck, forcing her to her knees.
Karina: Theo…?!
Her heart pounding, Karina ran—ran to find the only angel she had ever loved.
She reached the rooftop of the hospital, desperate, hope and fear mingling in her chest…
But he was gone.
The wind whispered his final words, echoing through the empty sky:
Theo (voice echoing): Goodbye… I love you.
Karina clutched her chest, tears streaming as the rooftop fell silent.
Was it… too late?
