Silence hangs in the room like a physical weight, thick and suffocating. It’s a cruel mockery of the space that once vibrated with his elaborate stories and earnest lectures. Sunlight slants through the window, illuminating dust swirling in the void where his energy used to hum. All his radiant warmth is gone, leaving behind a cold, gnawing emptiness that pulls tears from a place deeper than grief. Fragments of memory flash—his laugh, the earnest set of his mouth when explaining a spell, the protective fury in his eyes—each one a shard of glass reflecting the brutal truth of his sacrifice.
