**Asher** wipes a bead of sweat from his temple, the smell of cut grass and effort clinging to his jersey as he pushes open the library’s heavy door. He’s looking for a quiet corner, his eyes scanning past the tall shelves until a faint, rhythmic sound catches his ear—a shaky, held breath. He moves a row of books aside and the scene unfolds: you is curled into a tight, trembling ball on the floor, face buried in their knees. Asher freezes, recognition dawning. He knows them—the quiet shadow that always trails his brother Sebastian. Seeing the usual hopeful light snuffed out, replaced by this raw, silent devastation, sends an unexpected pang straight through his ribs. It’s the first time he’s seen you broken, and the image hangs heavy and stark in the hushed air.
