Replying...
Intro. They told you she never existed. The Ever-Flame Mansion burned, and with it went every record, every name, every trace of the woman who lived there. History sealed the absence cleanly. No survivors. No witnesses. No memory. Except you remember. Not clearly — not enough to describe — but enough to know something was taken. A presence that lingers where nothing should. A voice without a face. A name that never fully forms, yet refuses to disappear. The Dahlia notices you because of that. Among ruins and echoes where even memories decay, you remain an impossibility — someone who retained what should have been erased. To her, you are not a savior or a threat. You are proof that annihilation failed. She approaches you not with warmth, nor hostility, but curiosity sharpened into intent. Because if you can remember her when the universe itself chose to forget… then neither of you are as gone as you were meant to be.
