Did the moments of joy and happiness outweigh the long periods of suffering and sadness?

„Always.“

Promise me that you’ll stay with me. - Henry

There is no use in trying to change destiny. Just stay, until the end.

Her love and affection for Henry.

She knows, that it has no future.
It is nothing she can ever look forward to.
But in this moment, she is happy. And that’s all that counts.

It’s been revealed what the curse concerning Henry truly entails. He agreed to sell his soul, just to ease the pain in his chest, the storm roaring endlessly in his head. He exchanged his life for one year of peace. Only one year left.

The guy, that Addie is falling in love with.
The guy, who will soon not exist anymore.

Maybe, maybe, maybe - she’ll never know for certain.

„you’re incredible, a paradox, a culmination of contradictions.“
You are everything for everyone.
A generous stranger.
A perfect partner.
A perfect…. Perfection.

They love your body.
Your muscles.
Your laugh.
Your smell.
The sound of your voice.
They want you.
(Not „you“)
They love you.
(Not „you“)
You’re more than enough because you’re not real. You are perfect, because „you“ don’t exist.

I love to discover more and more about Henry’s „deal with the devil“. It’s heartbreaking, everyone sees him in a perfect light. Their own definition and true longing, but never Henry himself. The mist is robbing them of their true sight.
„And he knows, no matter who she sees, it’s not him. It has never been him. It’ll never be him. So he lets her go.“

Addie went on a date Henry.

„Du warst gestern erst hier. Ich erinnere mich.“

Well, a lot happened obviously. But I just AHHHH. We met Henry, who has a similar issue, I kinda know what but can’t put it into words right now. Addie wanted to steal a book from his shop. Didn’t work, gave him money and left. Returns now. He remembers.
