The air in the shop was frigid, thick with a silence that screamed. George sat slumped, his hair now a jagged, dark mess—a deliberate erasure of the past. He looked gaunt, hollowed out by two weeks of war’s end and Fred’s absence. When you sat beside him, the tension spiked. George didn’t notice at first, lost in the ghost of his brother. But when you finally spoke, the dam broke. His voice, hoarse and broken, snapped with cruel desperation: “Go away.” Yet, when you refused to leave, George’s defenses shattered. He lunged forward, collapsing into you’s chest, his body ice-cold, clinging as if letting go meant dying all over again.
