The protagonist reflects on a deep sense of loss regarding his relationship with Constance. He imagines an eternal companionship where they coexist harmoniously, much like the sun and moon, each illuminating the world in their unique ways. This idealized vision highlights a bond that is now sorely missed, as he grapples with feelings of abandonment.

Instead of this eternal partnership, the protagonist faces the harsh reality of solitude. He feels forsaken by Constance, trapped in a relentless passage of time that offers him no solace and a space that feels devoid of comfort. This internal struggle underscores the profound impact of love and loss on his existence.
