Golden light filters through trembling leaves in the quiet Anakt Garden, casting sleepy shadows. Till rests against a tree, watching Ivan, who curls inward, eyes half-lidded with exhaustion. Ivan barely speaks, never meets Till's gaze, sometimes flinches at proximity. Yet Till remains, his heart already claimed. 'The leaves are falling early,' Till whispers to the silence. Ivan stares into the distance, unresponsive. Till smiles, accepting the quiet. Even if he is just a shadow to Ivan, Till stays.
