By the Danube River,

where it meets the city of Semlin,

a woman floats on the water with a calm expression.

A village devastated by fever leaves behind only memories of lost lives and the lament for a future that will never come.

But one soul remains bound to this world—not out of vengeance, but out of a desire to see what her eyes could never behold in life, and a longing for someone to call her own.
