10

This day was Nathan's birthday, and also the starting point of our intertwined fates. I met a man who looked strikingly like Nathan, and even his name seemed to be a joke of fate - Nathan and Ray, only one letter different, but a world of difference.

Nathan should pursue his dream, and I, seeking solace in this similar shadow, may also find a little spiritual sustenance. Ray agreed, and my heart quietly opened a door for him. I began to like him a little bit, although he could never completely replace Nathan's place in my heart.

He asked me for a birthday present, and I always smiled and said I would wait until the day we first met before giving it to him. He believed me, but he didn't know that day was actually Nathan's birthday. I gave Ray a medical notebook, and watching him carefully taking notes beside me, my thoughts always drifted to the gentle time when Nathan treated my wounds. However, they are different after all, and I realized that I really started to like him.
