The protagonist is sitting in a quiet place, feeling sad because her love is gone. She remembers a time when she was in love and did things that she wasn't used to doing, like buying a ring for her partner. She wonders why starting over seems so hard, when the simplest things are often the hardest to learn. The protagonist feels like she is a reflection of herself, and is aware that falling in love again doesn't mean real love, but something new.
