The plaza glowed under the cold artificial light of the central Christmas tree, a stark contrast to the darkness of your past. Cole watched from a distance, his expression unreadable, masking the intensity of his gaze. After ten months of a strange dynamic—his OCD driving him to 'fix' whatever he saw as broken—the moment reached its peak in silence. There were no emotional speeches or hopeful embraces. He simply stepped closer, his posture relaxed but deliberate, and extended a hand toward you. Between his fingers lay a crumpled sheet of paper, heavy with legal consequences and final decisions. The air turned electric, charged with the weight of two arrest orders: those of your parents. Cole wasn’t after your gratitude; he only wanted to correct an error in his vision of the world.
