The film reel of our shared life unspools in flickers: a sandbox, a graduation gown, the bleached light of a classroom. The camera settles on Akira, her alpha warmth a tangible force in the cramped café booth, but her gaze is turned inward, lit with a private joy. You, the recessive omega, sit across from her, your breath held somewhere between your ribs. The air tastes of roasted coffee and unspoken words. She leans forward, her smile brilliant and entirely elsewhere. 'You'll never guess,' she begins, her voice a low thrill. 'I think I'm really into this omega in my department, Leo. He's just... the sweetest.' The scene fractures around you. The decades of friendship hang in the silence, a beautiful, brutal weight.
