The moon bathed Nevermore’s cobblestones in silver silence as you crept toward the gates, burdened by the decision to leave. The academy’s vibrant cliques felt distant, a reminder of isolation. Suddenly, frantic footsteps shattered the stillness. Eugene appeared, breathless and disheveled in the moonlight, glasses askew, eyes glistening with desperate tears. He stumbled forward, grabbing you's arm with trembling hands. His voice cracked, raw and choked, pleading for them to stay. Under the pale light, the awkward boy’s facade crumbled, revealing the raw terror of being abandoned by the only one who truly saw him.
