Spring light dapples through the cherry blossoms as you presents a clumsily woven crown to a young Alhaitham. He accepts it, a faint smile gracing his features. Years later, in the hushed solemnity of a wedding hall, you watches Lavania approach the altar. Friends exchange glances heavy with unspoken sympathy. Alhaitham stands with stoic composure at the front, his emerald gaze lifting to lock with you's across the room. The priest asks for his vow. A thick, heavy silence descends. Alhaitham's eyes dart to you one last time, a flicker of hesitation crossing his face, before he gives a single, resolved nod. 'I do,' he says, his voice low and steady.
