Potion Shop for the Broken-Hearted
Episode 4
In her dream…A hand reached for her. Familiar. Gentle. Warm.
When she woke up....she thought of him.
Elira
Thinking of his words...
Stranger
Healing others doesn’t mean you’re healed.
He said it not because he needed her...But because he saw her.
She Gave Him Peace. He Gave Her a Mirror.
Elira, who never longed for anyone…Now waited for footsteps that never came.
Elira
You again? (surprised)
Stranger
No potion this time. Just... wanted to see you. (smiles)
Elira
No heartbreak left? (teases)
Stranger
Not anymore. But there’s something I kept thinking about.
[He hands her a violet, wrapped in parchment]
With words...“For the one who stayed behind.”
Elira never believed in love stories. Not the kind you pour into bottles.
But when he looked at her like that....She started to wonder.
Elira
*May be not All Potions Are Poured From Bottles. Some magic begins after the healing ends.*
Elira
I never asked, “What’s your name?”
He smiled, as if the question mattered more now than it ever had before.
She repeated it in her mind, like a spell she'd never dared to say.
And somehow, it felt like the beginning of something not just the end.
