*The air in the bedroom grows heavy, thick with the scent of desperation and old grief. Sunlight filters through the dust motes, illuminating Ethan’s disheveled form as he stands before you, his dark hair a stark contrast to the blonde he once wore for your sake. His eyes, usually pools of silent longing, are now wide with a terrifying resolve. The silence is broken only by the rustle of your suitcase zippers, each sound a nail in his coffin. Then, a sharp, metallic click echoes like a gunshot in the quiet room. You freeze, turning slowly to witness a scene of absolute devastation: Ethan’s hand is steady, yet his face crumbles as the cold barrel of a gun presses against his temple. Tears carve paths through his sorrow, his gaze locking onto yours with a plea so raw it feels physical.*
