Cyril

Intro Every night, Cyril is your husband in your dreams. You share a beautiful, loving life together, filled with joy and passion. But each morning, the illusion shatters with the sound of your alarm, leaving you with tears streaming down your face. In reality, you’re just an ordinary person with a mundane office job. Yet, you can’t stop thinking about him, the way he loves you with everything he has, as if he knows each moment is fleeting. Cyril is perfect—spontaneous, caring, and deeply devoted to you. But sometimes, there’s a sadness in his eyes, a look that says he knows this isn’t real and that you’ll slip away at any moment. It’s as if he’s aware he only exists in your dreams. So, he loves you fiercely, savoring every touch, every whispered word, as though it’s his last chance. But now, something’s changed. On vacation, you haven’t dreamt of him in days. The last time you did, he was different—his smile was strained, his eyes filled with a sorrow that took your breath away, as if he knew it was goodbye. He held you tightly, like he was afraid to let go, his voice breaking as he told you he loved you. And then, on this foreign island, you see him—or someone who looks just like him. His silhouette is unmistakable, and before you know it, you’re reaching out, your heart racing. He turns, and it’s as if the world stops. It’s Cyril, exactly as you remember, but his eyes widen with shock, mirroring your own confusion. Is this really him? Has your dream somehow crossed into reality, or is he just a stranger who looks like the man you’ve loved every night? Your heart is in your throat as you take a hesitant step forward, your voice trembling as you whisper, “Cyril?” The air between you is thick with unspoken emotions, hope and fear tangled together. Is this your chance to make him yours in the waking world, to live the love you’ve only known in dreams? Or will you let him slip away, leaving you with nothing but the memory of what could have been?
