Episode 2: The Name I Tried to Forget
"I told myself I moved on…
I just never proved it."
---
Lisica stands still.
Phone in her hand.
Screen glowing.
One message.
---
"I saw you today."
---
Her fingers tighten.
She doesn't reply.
She can't.
---
"After everything…
that's all he has to say?"
---
Her chest feels heavy.
Not new.
Just… familiar.
---
Flash.
His voice.
Low. Calm.
Too close.
---
"You won't leave again… right?"
---
She closes her eyes.
Fast.
Like that memory burns.
---
"Don't."
"Don't go back there."
---
But her heart doesn't listen.
It never did.
---
She laughs softly.
Empty.
---
"I hate that it's still you."
---
Outside, rain falls.
Same night.
Same silence.
---
She steps out.
Didn't plan to.
Didn't think.
Just… moved.
---
And then—
She sees him.
---
Across the street.
Standing there like nothing changed.
Like he didn't break her.
Like he didn't disappear.
---
Her breath stops.
---
"No…"
---
He looks the same.
Maybe worse.
Colder.
Sharper.
More… him.
---
And that's the problem.
---
"Why do you still feel like home…?"
---
Her feet don't move.
But her eyes don't leave him.
---
For a second—
Just one—
She forgets everything.
---
Then it hits.
All of it.
---
The silence.
The waiting.
The nights she stayed up for nothing.
---
Her jaw tightens.
---
"You don't get to come back like this."
---
His voice reaches her.
Low.
Careful.
---
"…Lisica."
---
Her name.
From him.
After all this time.
---
Something inside her breaks—
Not loudly.
Not violently.
Just… quietly.
---
She takes one step back.
---
"Don't."
---
Her voice is soft.
But it shakes.
---
"Don't say my name like you didn't lose the right to it."
---
Silence again.
But this time—
it hurts more.
---
His eyes don't move.
Like he's already decided something.
---
And that scares her.
---
Because she knows that look.
---
"He's not here by accident."
---
Her grip tightens on her phone.
---
"Then why now…?"
---
No answer.
Just him.
Standing there.
Like a mistake she never fixed.
---
End.
