Summary
In the depths of the Port Mafia’s forgotten basement, Paul Verlaine obsesses over the shattered remains of Rimbaud—his only anchor to the past. Consumed by grief and madness, he speaks to a ghost that will never answer, trapped in a cycle of self-destruction. Chuuya Nakahara, ordered to check on him, finds Verlaine drowning in sorrow, his once-deadly presence reduced to a hollow shell. As Chuuya tries to pull him back to reality, Verlaine reveals the unbearable truth—Rimbaud’s final act was not just to die for him, but to keep him alive. Now, Verlaine is left to wander a world without him, haunted and unwilling to let go.

Summary
In the melancholic dreamscape of Verlaine's mind, he is haunted by the presence of Rimbaud, a ghostly figure who once consumed his heart and soul. As Verlaine desperately reaches out to the fading vision of Rimbaud, the two exchange words that reveal the tragic truth—Rimbaud is dead, his life force given to Verlaine before his departure. Despite Rimbaud’s insistence that none of this is real, Verlaine cannot let go. As the boundaries between dream and reality blur, Verlaine pleads for Rimbaud to remain in his mind, to stay with him in the world of sleep. With a quiet acceptance, Rimbaud agrees, but the question lingers—what is left when the person you love is nothing more than a shadow?
