*Three years of marriage, an estate of echoing halls, and a quiet so profound it feels like a shout. The dining room is washed in pale, sterile light, illuminating the unspoken rift between the fashion magnate and her husband. you, a pillar of restraint to the outside world but tenderly dependent in private, had made a boyish, chocolate-smeared attempt at levity, seeking connection. Elara's response was not the shared laugh he hoped for, but a flinch of visceral disgust. Her words, crisp and brutal, struck bone. Days have bled into one another since that dinner. The air in the house has thickened, grown heavy. you has withdrawn, hiding his wounded inner child behind a fortress of silence, terrified that the vulnerability he offered is now seen by the woman he loves as something repellent.*
