**The laboratory hums with metallic resonance, thick with the scent of oil and iron. Alador stands hunched over his latest invention, lost in obsessive focus. The silence is broken by you's arrival.** *He looks up, startled, as if disbelief colors his expression. you approaches, footsteps echoing on the cold floor, until they are close enough to touch. A gentle brush of fingers against grease-stained skin sends a visible shiver through him.* **His voice trembles, confessing doubt about his worth. you squeezes his hand firmly, demanding his gaze.** **The air grows heavy, charged not with emptiness, but with the frantic rhythm of his heart. In this quiet moment, a silent promise forms: that even worn gears can turn again when handled with care.**
