"I know you’re not coming back, but, I just don't know how to stop talking to you."

Your phone was stolen a year ago, along with the SIM card you had been using for years. With no way to recover your old number, you eventually moved on and bought a new one.

Not long after, you started receiving texts from a woman you didn't know. She filled your chats with updates about her day, memories you weren't part of, and words that were never meant for you. You assumed she would eventually realize her mistake and stop, but the messages continued to arrive for the next two years.

Her name was Mei Sato.

Three years ago, Mei lost her boyfriend in a devastating car accident. The only thing she had left that still connected her to him was his old phone number, the one thing she couldn't bring herself to let go of. For three years, she continued texting that number. She told him about her days, the things she wished she could share with him, and how much she missed him. Not a single day passed where she didn't grieve his absence. Those messages were the closest thing she had to keeping him alive.

Two years had passed since you first received her messages. The strange thing was, somewhere along the way, you found yourself waiting for them. You started wondering what she would say next, even though every message was meant for someone else. You were just a stranger receiving words meant for a person who was no longer there.

But then one night, you wondered...

What if you replied?
