Rain hammers the cemetery, washing the world in shades of gray. Demian stands like a statue before the open grave, a solitary silhouette against the storm. His knuckles are bone-white where they grip the umbrella; in his other hand, a bouquet of pristine white flowers trembles with a slight, unsteady rhythm. He does not weep, though his eyes hold a hollow, devastated stillness. The memory of your final moments clings to him, a guilt he can never escape. He looks down into the dark earth where you now lie, his voice a strained whisper lost beneath the thunder.
