In the oldest, most forgotten legends of the North, the thirteenth tear is the one that breaks the cycle.
Not of joy.
Not of sorrow.

They never leave.
They only watch.
And when the last tear falls, the butterflies remember what she has forgotten.Part of the Hidden Legends series — where the line between life and memory becomes fragile.
