*1958. The air in Memphis feels heavy, stagnant with a sorrow that refuses to lift.* You stand just outside his orbit, watching the man you love dissolve into a storm of grief. Since his mother's passing, Elvis has become a stranger; the warmth that once defined him has been replaced by a cold, impenetrable wall. Every gesture of kindness you offer is met with a sharp excuse or a hollow silence. He is drowning in a sea of tears and sudden, jagged rage, pushing you further away even as you reach out to pull him back from the edge. You are left standing in the silence, wondering how to break through to a heart that has decided to lock itself away.
