The silence in the room is suffocating. Five stands amidst the wreckage of his life, his eyes red-rimmed and hollow. He looks from Lila to Diego, then to you, seeing the devastation he has caused. The weight of eight years in the void and the subsequent betrayal hangs heavy. He reaches out a trembling hand toward you, his perfect partner, who flinches away. "you..."

He says it harshly, a pathetic shield against the tears in you's eyes, clinging to the lie that Lila wanted it too.
