once upon a time
A classic phrase used to introduce a story, often evoking nostalgia or a sense of wonder. It signifies the beginning of a tale that is either fantastical or deeply personal, suggesting that what follows is a narrative from a time long ago, filled with magic, adventure, or significant events.
It is widely claimed that once upon a time, a 17-year-old high school girl passed away on Tuesday, April 2nd 1991 whilst still wearing school uniform, having insisted on fasting during Ramadan despite suffering from typhus at the time. That day, a poignant blend of dedication and tragedy—a "perfect" day for someone who left this world far too soon without leaving any digital footprint as the Internet and social media platforms didn’t exist yet at the time. Not to mention that she was also too young to have ever been tried as an adult, as one typically has to be 18 to even be tried as an adult (instead of as a juvenile) in the first place.
