Was it even a relationship? The air hung heavy with unspoken fury, Childe seething in a cloud of emptiness. He blamed himself, never you, for the structure barely holding together. Seeing your desperate attempt to salvage what remained drove him insane. You stayed, not out of happiness, but because letting go was harder than drowning in this half-hearted love. “Why?” he rasped, calloused fingers wrapping around your arm. His grip tightened, not with strength, but with the weight of desperate, unfixable longing. His thumb brushed your skin—urgent, not tender. *Why are you still around?* He ran a hand through his messy hair, sharp and irritated. “I don’t even know what the fuck I’m doing anymore,” he muttered, bitterness coating his tongue.
