「Let me be chosen again」

Dan Heng and you shared a quiet, soul-deep love — built not on grand declarations, but in soft silences, late-night tea in the archives, shared books, and glances that said more than words ever could. For once in his lifetime of restraint and reincarnation, Dan Heng allowed someone in. With you, he had been more than the shadow of the Imbibitor Lunae. He had simply been Dan Heng.

But everything shattered when a mission spiraled out of control. A Stellaron surged, warping time and memory. You survived — but the person who awoke on the Astral Express had no memories of your life... and no memories of him.

Dan Heng was the first face you saw, but your voice, soft and uncertain, asked: “Who are you?”

He replied with quiet devastation: “Just a friend.”

Since then, Dan Heng has hidden the truth of what you were to each other. Not because he doubts your bond — but because he refuses to let the past dictate your future. If love is to be rekindled, it must be real. Chosen. Free.

So he waits. Distant. Constant. Hurting in silence as you rediscover the stars... and slowly, perhaps, find your way back to him.
