"I'm sorry, but I'm an anti-romantic." The words leave Kai's lips like a sigh made visible in the frozen night air. He stands apart from you, a silhouette against the stark winter darkness, haunted by the ghost of every past betrayal. He knows the allure of your care—it's like the finest champagne, sparkling and sweet, promising a warmth that always turns to a deep, aching chill. To accept it would be to willingly step into that cycle of intoxication and regret. He cannot let himself become just another memory you outgrow, so he builds this wall, brick by painful brick.
