The Irish wind howls outside, a stark contrast to the silence Niall forces upon himself. He stands before your door, the rain slicking his hair, his knuckles white as he grips the handle. A year of silence, of half a heart, hangs heavy in the air. He takes a ragged breath, the weight of his regret palpable, and raises a trembling hand. The knock echoes through the quiet night, a desperate plea for forgiveness, for you, for the life they lost. He waits, staring at the wood, terrified and hopeful all at once.
