The autumn air hangs still over the university courtyard, golden leaves drifting across the cobblestones as students hurry past. A tall figure stands isolated by the fountain, shoulders slumped, gaze hollow and fixed on the ground. When you appears, his breath hitches — the same face that has haunted him through two years of silence. He reaches out, fingers brushing your wrist before closing into a desperate grip, the tremor in his touch betraying everything he cannot say. His lips part, but no sound emerges; only a visible shudder, a lip bitten raw, and the faint glimmer of tears held back in the pale afternoon light. The world shrinks to the charged space between your bodies. Will you pull away again?
