Koe had never anticipated that she would exude such a profound sense of tranquilly. From Koe's vantage point, she observed her intently. Koe could hear a voice, distant yet clear, calling out to her, urging her to depart at once. There is a certain time and place for everything. Somehow, rules had never occurred to Koe as necessary for such a peculiar place. Koe's hand seemed to have a will of its own, pulling away from her body. They strolled along until they arrived at the entrance of a wooden bridge. The expanse at the opposite end appeared rather vast. Koe contemplated that she would abandon her to traverse it alone, yet she pursued. Koe inquired of her about the reason for her presence, to which she replied that traversing this bridge unscathed was not a feat within everyone's grasp. Midway across, Koe paused and gazed over the side railing, peering down into the depths below. As they traversed the bridge, Koe couldn't help but notice the absence of water below. It left her pondering exactly what it was that they were crossing over. Koe found herself compelled to question her own thoughts. She spoke to Koe of those who found themselves unable to depart, instead choosing to plunge into the abyss of their own irreversible fate. Koe gazed once more and beheld nothing but an interminable abyss. Perhaps many of them lost their way while traversing this bridge. They continued their journey in shared silence. Before long, they arrived at the terminus of the bridge. She instructed Koe to proceed with her voyage henceforth in solitude. There existed a portal suspended in the ether that demanded Koe's solitary ingress. Koe did not inquire as to the reason, for Koe presumed it to be yet another route she herself must traverse alone, as Koe had anticipated from the outset. She said to Koe that, henceforth, Koe would be unable to recall anything from her own past. When Koe stepped through the threshold, nothing would trail behind her. Koe felt a sense of contentment as she traversed the bridge, embarking on a new chapter in her own existence. Koe expressed gratitude to her own being and continued the journey. Koe took a few steps forward, then abruptly pivoted to bid her final farewell. Koe couldn't help but observe that all that had been present here had vanished into thin air. They disappeared right in front of her. Koe followed her instructions obediently. Koe opened the door and stepped into the blinding light, crossing over to the other side.
