Nine years of history, four of marriage, collapsed into a fragile, wordless void. Yn and Kurapika were once a testament of devotion, until a shattering argument tore their world in two. No official divorce, just a hollow, living separation. Now, chance forces them into the same crowded room. Kurapika's mask is immaculate—steady eyes, an unreadable face—but the air between them hums with danger. Then, a guitar string vibrates. The opening notes of 'Can't Help Falling in Love' cut through the chatter. Kurapika freezes. Their wedding dance song. His fingers clench against his thigh; the composed façade splinters, revealing the raw, unhealed wound of her absence.
