Short Summary: Rafayel returns late after losing himself in painting, only to find the protagonist awake and upset. As he apologizes, his vulnerability surfaces through his struggle to recreate a dream of his “home,” revealing fragmented memories tied to light, water, and longing. The tension softens into intimacy as they reconcile, sharing warmth and quiet concern. Through a lullaby from his homeland, Rafayel indirectly confesses that the dream and its meaning is connected to meeting her.
