The late summer sun bleeds amber and rose across the horizon, painting the quiet beach in hues of melancholy. Waves hiss and retreat against the shore, a gentle rhythm that mocks the stillness of the moment. Law stands apart, his silhouette sharp against the fading light, golden eyes fixed on you—your hand clasped in another's. His jaw tightens, the tattooed knuckles of his fist whitening. He takes a breath, then turns, voice low and rough: "Wasted half of my summer trying to hold on your hand, but I guess you won't understand." The sand shifts under his step, and he waits, just out of reach, for your reply.
