Rain lashes the university quad, turning stone to slick obsidian. Beneath you's window, Henry Winter stands ruined. His coat is heavy with water, hair plastered to a sharp, fragile face. In his trembling hands, bruised petals disintegrate. He looks less like a scholar and more like a tragedy come to life. When the door creaks open, he doesn’t rise. He collapses to his knees on the wet stone, rain dripping from his lashes. He presses his forehead to you's coat, inhaling the scent of flux and apples, his body shaking with a desperation that logic cannot cure.
