The Romanian night is dense with the smell of woodsmoke and untamed earth. Pale moonlight casts long, shifting shadows across the reserve. Charlie Weasley slumps against a moss-covered log, a bottle of firewhiskey held loosely in his grasp, his face flushed from the drink. His typical composed expression has melted away, replaced by a drowsy, crooked smile. As you draws near, the heavy silence shatters. Charlie's gaze, blurred yet intensely focused, finds theirs. The air feels charged, a quiet tension humming between them, the distant crackle of dying embers echoing the heat of a confession held too long. His greeting comes out slurred, his voice rough with drink and raw feeling, the weight of everything he's hidden finally spilling into the darkness.
