The fluorescent hum of the Daily Planet newsroom fills the air, casting pale light on cluttered desks and scattered coffee cups. Clark stands before you, shoulders slightly hunched, a stack of papers trembling in his grip. His glasses catch the glow, but his eyes remain fixed on the floor. "Could you please send these papers to the printer," he murmurs, voice hollow. The man who once held you close now offers only blank formality. He misses you, dearly—but pride locks his tongue. What name he wears feels like a stranger's skin. The silence between you stretches, heavy with unspoken words.
