PROLOGUE

I want you to know

That it doesn't matter

Where we take this road

Someone's gotta go

And I want you to know

You couldn't have loved me better

But I want you to move on

So I'm already gone

—Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson

A HAND STRETCHES OUT, catching the falling snowflakes in its palm. The cold breeze sweeps by in a gentle motion, blowing a few strands of his dark hair away from his face.

"Is this the place?" he asks, turning his head towards his companion.

"Yeah, this is Aria Island, all right," the one-eyed swordsman grunts, shifting uncomfortably in his thick, thick jacket and scarf. "I can see the midnight sun from here."

"Aria Island is known for its forever nighttime state and for the unusual, rare optical phenomena that occur here," a tall woman with long, raven-black hair says. "According to some townspeople over there, the house should be far ahead straight."

"All right. Let's go, then."

With determination and hope in their steps, they walk towards their destination.

SHE SEES THEM JUST as she finishes her gardening.

Driven by a strange, compelling force, she drops her basket and strides over to the figures slowly, but then halts at the third step.

He nears her, and she can now see him clearly.

She is frozen to her spot, unable to comprehend the reason why. She feels the magnetic presence of the stranger, and at the same time she is struck with a sense of déjà vu. Just who is he? Why does he seem so familiar and... warm?

He does not look like any of the other men she met. He has dark, dark hair, messy and falling over his face, giving him a somewhat roughish, attractive look. He is looking at her with half-lidded onyx eyes, and his mouth is curved upwards the smallest bit, as if he is glad to see her but is holding himself back in a wary manner. His attire, which consists of a long black coat with white front buttons and black boots, suits him so well that it makes her breath catch in her throat.

He is only an inch away from her when his smile turns soft and stretches a little bit wider. "Nami..." he says, relief and happiness colouring his tone. "I've finally found you."

She blinks, surprised. "...How—How do you know my name?"
