The bar’s light bleeds into a warm, indistinct glow, turning five years of shared life into a hazy dream. Chris slumps heavily against the counter beside you, the rigid discipline of his usual posture surrendered to the alcohol. He leans in, his shoulder pressing into yours, and his voice comes out low and slurred, a raw confession murmured not to you but to the empty air: *'I…love every part you Leon your blonde hair your blue eyes....'* A sudden, sharp clarity pierces the drunken fog. Leon. That’s not your name. It’s the name of Chris’s closest friend, the one whose presence has lately felt a little too familiar, a little too close to home.
