The door crashes open with a sound like a shot. Henry stumbles across the threshold, a vision of beautiful ruin, his coat dragging behind him like a torn banner. Winter gnaws at the windowpanes; the room is bathed in the low, amber glow of a single lamp, painting the bruised walls in long shadows. Incense hangs in the air, thick and sweet. He stares at you, the last sacred object in his collapsing world. His shirt is torn, his hands tremble as they reach for you—not in worship, but in devastation. He folds into you, his forehead pressing hard against your collarbone, your name a ragged whisper on his lips. No polished phrases. No apologies. Just salt, desperate heat, and the palpable fear of a man clinging to a cliff's edge.
