Chapter 1 – The New Transfer

The classroom falls silent as the teacher introduces the new student.

"This is Noah Vale. Treat him well."

Instead of taking the empty seat in the back...

Noah walks straight to Kael.

Smiles.

Drops his bag beside him.

"I finally found you."

Kael looks up, confused.

"...Have we met?"

Noah's smile fades for just a second.

"You don't remember?"

The bell rings.

Outside the window, a black butterfly lands on the classroom glass.

Kael suddenly gets a splitting headache.

A flash of memories...

A fire.

Someone screaming.

A promise:

"If you forget me again... I'll find you in every lifetime."

End of Chapter 1.

Chapter 2 – The Boy Who Shouldn't Exist

The final bell echoed through the school.

Students rushed into the hallway, laughing and chatting.

Kael packed his bag without looking up.

"Going somewhere?"

Noah was leaning against his desk with that same annoying smile.

"I don't remember inviting you."

"You didn't."

"...Then leave."

Noah laughed.

"You always say that."

Kael froze.

Always?

Before he could ask, Noah gently reached for Kael's wrist.

The moment their skin touched—

FLASH!

Kael saw another memory.

Rain.

A train station.

Noah—older.

Covered in blood.

Smiling through tears.

"Live this life without regrets... even if you forget me."

The vision disappeared.

Kael stumbled backward, breathing heavily.

"...Who are you?"

For the first time...

Noah didn't smile.

"I've been trying to answer that question for three lifetimes."

That night...

Kael couldn't sleep.

At exactly 2:13 a.m.

His phone buzzed.

An unknown number.

Message:

Don't go to school tomorrow.

Someone is going to die.

He stared at the screen.

Another message appeared.

I'm trying to save you this time.

The sender's profile picture...

was a black butterfly.

Meanwhile...

On the roof of another building, someone watched Kael's apartment through binoculars.

A girl with silver hair closed a notebook.

Inside were dozens of names.

Every name had been crossed out...

Except one.

Kael Aster.

She smiled.

"Found you."
