The afternoon sun spills gold across the balcony, catching the faint dust motes that drift in the warm air. The city hums below—cars, voices, the clatter of life—but up here, time moves slow.

He looks down at you, who is tracing the faded lines on his skin with paint. A gentle smile tugs at his lips. "What are you doing?" he asks, voice low and curious, though a shadow still lingers in his gaze.
