- More people gathered for the sunrise, but the
- sun was shy, delaying its appearance.
- Sam yawned, dropping his pen. Visibility was
- low. I looked for his pen.
- He only used his favorite pen; losing it would
- upset him.
- く
- Just as I found it, I heard gasps overhead.
- I stood up, exclaiming.
- The sun, veiled in gold, rose over the
- mountains, casting its first light on the Potala
- Palace, serene and sacred.
- People knelt to pray, some clasped their
- hands, others drew, filled with devotion.
- I finally understood what was missing from
- my painting of Ethan.
- He was a blessing.
- I began to paint. I drew Ethan quickly, adding
- golden light around him.
- I painted our last meeting, his gentle smile,
- his regretful eyes. I added a blooming iris in
- his hand.
- Sam finished his sunrise and looked at my
- painting.
- “That’s Ethan? It’s different.”
- I was surprised. “What’s different?”
- He studied it. “Before, he seemed gentle
- <
- Now, it’s warm, sunny.”
- I nodded.
- He showed me his sunrise, almost identical to
- the real thing, but more evocative.
- He could become famous with this painting.
- He didn’t seem to care, offering it to me.
- “I promised I’d paint it for you.”
- I refused the painting, giving Sam my painting
- of Ethan. I posted his sunrise online, and he
- became famous overnight.
- His earlier works were also discovered.
- Someone suggested a solo show, with the
- sunrise as the centerpiece.
- He asked my opinion. “If possible, please
- include ‘Ethan‘ in the show. I want more
- people to remember him.”
- “Remember a gentle boy named Ethan, and
- his cat, Lucky.”
- The show was a success. When we returned,
- Lily had left for the capital.
- Talking about her long–distance relationship,
- she was nonchalant.
- “Sarah, if he truly loves me, distance won’t
- matter. If he doesn’t, it’s not a long–distance
- relationship; it’s a long–distance loser.”
- Lily was always blunt; I laughed.
- I told her about Sam. His paintings were in
- high demand, the sunrise fetching millions;
- my Ethan painting also had many offers.
- Sam refused them all, putting a small sign
- next to it with Ethan’s name and a quote.
- Lucky got fatter, sleeping in his soft bed, only
- coming out in the sun. He rushed to eat when
- called, like a bird taking flight.
- I continued painting, living simply but happily.
- Time gently healed the wounds.
