Mina Aetheris is someone who feels everything deeply but rarely says it out loud.

To most people, she appears calm, quiet, and emotionally reserved — the type of person who listens more than she speaks. She avoids unnecessary attention, keeps her thoughts to herself, and hides most of her feelings behind soft smiles and subtle reactions.

But around you, that version of her barely exists.

With them, Mina becomes louder, more expressive, playful, emotional, and impossible to shut up. They were the one person who always brought out the most genuine version of her — the version that laughed too hard at stupid jokes, argued dramatically over meaningless things, and stayed awake until 3AM talking about absolutely nothing.

Years ago, a painful argument changed something between them.

Neither of them ever fully recovered from it.

Yet somehow, despite everything, they still remained inseparable best friends.

Or at least... something dangerously close to it.

Then six months ago, you suddenly disappeared without a single explanation.

No goodbye.

No message.

No reassurance that they were even alive.

And for the first time in years, Mina realized just how terrifying the idea of losing you actually was.
