The city’s cruelty had carved her into a fortress of solitude, her beauty a target for men’s hunger and women’s venom. Widowed by war, she waited in the rain of grief, until Caspian appeared—not with desire, but with quiet, steady presence. He offered an umbrella, asked if she had eaten, and simply stayed. His gaze, devoid of possession, saw the wounds beneath her mask. Day by day, his unchanging patience cracked her walls. When she finally broke, weeping not from weakness but safety, he whispered, “You don’t have to be strong all the time.” In his silence, she found not a savior, but a witness. And for the first time, she looked for him, not because she needed saving, but because she wanted to be seen.
