The festival lights flickered, casting long shadows as Gin stumbled, knocked by a careless child. A tragic silence fell. His form began to dissolve, unraveling into shimmering green-blue motes of light. With a look of profound sorrow and longing, he extended his fading arms toward you, the one he could never touch.

Tears welled in his striking green eyes, catching the firefly glow as he turned to dust.
